Student Psychologist
Are you a student at WUR? The student psychologist can help you with personal problems that can lead to study delay, or with study-related health problems. You can come to us with family problems, insecurity, anxiety or gloominess, but also depression, addiction, tension or mourning.
Don't hesitate to reach out; after all, prevention is better than cure.
What can the Student Psychologist do for You?
The WUR student psychologist offers short-term counselling (to a maximum of five meetings) for minor psychological problems. This is free and confidential!
Please note we do not diagnose or provide treatment for serious – or complex – psychological / psychiatric problems. If you need specialised or long-term help, we can help you get a referral to mental healthcare through your GP.
We guide you in several ways:
- Walk-In (± 15 minutes)
If you are unsure which support best suits your question, we advise you to schedule a short consultation with a student psychologist.
On workdays - 13:00 and 14:00h - Online and in FORUM, register here
On Tuesdays - 15:00-16:00h at SC de Bongerd, register here or check if the psychologist is available on the spot. - Intake at the psychologist (online or face-to-face, ± 60 min): We listen to you and estimate how we can best help you. That may be a group training (via Student Training & Support), an e-health module (gezondeboel), we give tips, or we plan a follow-up appointment. We may also refer you to other caregivers.
All conversations are confidential!
