The Student Counselling Service
Student Counselling is considered an invaluable service within the University of Pecs. Its primary objective is to provide students with professional, discreet and responsive psychological counselling. What are the primary challenges facing students? Challenges associated with academia in references to studying and training: learning difficulties; stressful exams, anxiety, repeated failures. Uncertainties encountered during the development of one’s professional identity, hardships met in the adaption of the University lifestyle. Accommodating to intensive challenges routinely faced when encountering a new spectrum of socio-cultural experiences: being far from one’s family, unfamiliar environment, difficulties in communication, local behaviour and attitudes common to the host environment, difficulties assimilating to the perplexity of the Hungarian culture. Routine challenges associated with life, potentially creating a barrier towards studying: self-esteem, self-confidence; relationships within the family and among friends and partners; and difficulty towards effectively establishing valuable relationships, loneliness and isolation. The service is intended to offer counselling to students enrolled in the English language programme and seeks to render professional assistance to students struggling with a plethora of challenges and difficulties evolving from potential changes and upheavals in their personal lifestyles and studies. The service is free of charge and guarantees complete discretion. Professional counselling is available to the individual and to small groups. It is a bona fide service provided by the University of Pecs, without a service fee. Identifying and averting the problem causing difficulties can help students re-establish control of their lives and maximize their potential towards acquiring harmony, balance and the sense of well being. Individual counselling consists of personal interviews, where challenges can be discussed; solutions, alternatives and perspectives are offered. Appointments for counselling can be made by email only. A member of the staff will reply, and provide a suitable appointment for the first meeting. Our work is facilitated if the applicants indicate the problem they seek assistance with. Students, if they wish, can maintain their anonymity up until the first session.
