How does a psychological follow‑up take place?
First, you will meet with a psychologist from the Psychological Consultation at the Student Health Service and you will proceed to an evaluation of your situation. You will define your problem and list the reasons that led you to a consultation. You will then decide whether or not to continue with a psychotherapy.
Depending on the reasons for your consultation and your financial situation, we will offer you to:
- Consult one of our psychotherapists for up to 20 sessions
- Refer you to external resources that allow for a follow‑up to meet your needs
As the number of places for psychotherapeutic follow‑up is limited, priority is given to:
- Students with financial difficulties
