Answer: The student counsellor is your point of contact for confidential heart-to-heart conversations, advice and information on the following challenges and difficulties:
- Confidential matters
- Non-education-related issues/personal issues
- Personal matters and challenges that are not directly education-related, for example:
- Integration/Community
- Motivation
- Loneliness, homesickness
- Relationships and family circumstances
- Health, illness and care
- Note: The student counsellor does not provide any medical treatment. Suspected disorders/mental health issues that require more specialised or long-term treatment are referred to the GP/medical professionals.
How does the student counsellor system work?
- 2 hours per week of walk-in hours, on Wednesday mornings from 10:00-12:00
- Students can book a walk-in or a virtual (Google Meet) appointment, approximately 15-20 minutes. Register for the time slot directly via email to Rens.
- Within the same month, students can have follow-up session(s) of around 1.5 hours total per person (can be allocated in one or multiple sessions) if needed.
