FAQ Studying @ Wittenborg

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?

• 3 hours per week of walk-in hours, with even weeks (2,4) on Wednesday mornings from 10:00-13:00 and odd weeks (1,3,5) on Wednesday afternoons from 13:00-16:00.
• 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.
