Student Counselling Psychologist
The Student Counselling Psychologist offers special guidance and counselling in questions related to learning, studying, life management and wellbeing.
The sessions with the Student Counselling Psychologist are confidential and last 45-60 minutes. The service is free of charge for the University of Oulu students.
The objectives for the sessions will be agreed upon during the first session. There are usually 1-5 sessions per student.
When should I contact the Student Counselling Psychologist?
You can contact the Student Counselling Psychologist about things that have to do with learning and study related problems, when no other guidance or student advising had solved them. These can be e.g:
- Continuing studies that have come to a standstill, problems with progressing in studies
- Study-related self-confidence
- Motivation issues
- Coping with stress and tension
- Returning to studies after a long break
- Other issues related to learning, such as exam or thesis anxiety, time management, learning disabilities, problems with writing processes
- Accessibility issues: form 'Application for special study arrangements' can be found from Forms page.
The goal of an individual session is:
- To clarify the student's overall life situation
- To develop studying skills
- To increase student’s activity
- To discover new patterns for thinking and acting
