If you feel that you or someone you know is in a situation where help cannot wait until a scheduled appointment, contact or accompany them to the psychiatric outpatient service associated with their place of residence or temporary residence, or call 112, the emergency line. 112 dispatcher can send ambulance car, if needed.
Other possibilities:
Counselling is available basically in person or online via video call when it is necessary. Sessions are confidential, free of charge, and conducted by a qualified counsellor.
Psychological counselling is a short-term process, regardless of the counselling area you seek support in. We focus primarily on the issues you are currently facing. After exploring your concerns, you and your counsellor will agree on a focus and a goal to work towards during the sessions.
Your counsellor’s aim is to create a safe, accepting, empathetic and non-judgemental environment where you can gain a better understanding of your situation, experience and process your feelings, and express your thoughts openly.
We believe that you are the expert on your own life. Our aim is therefore not to give you advice, but to support you in recognising and mobilising your internal and external resources, seeing your situation from different perspectives, and developing or strengthening skills that can make it easier to cope with the situation and make decisions.
Each counselling session lasts 45–50 minutes.
Our qualified counsellors have experience in a wide range of areas and will support you throughout the counselling process.
If you cancel or request to reschedule an appointment within 48 hours of the scheduled time, or do not attend without prior notice, the session will be counted as a used session and will reduce the number of sessions remaining in your counselling process.
Within an agreed counselling process, one cancellation or rescheduling request is accepted. We cannot guarantee that further requests to change appointments can be accommodated.
Continuity and commitment are important for your own counselling process, and this policy also helps us remain considerate of other students who are waiting for an appointment.
The treatment of diagnosed mental health disorders and deeper personality-focused work fall within the scope of psychotherapy. Psychotherapy is a longer-term, exploratory process that may involve working in depth with an individual’s life history and personality.
If, based on our understanding of your concerns, we feel that psychotherapy or another form of specialised support would be more appropriate, we will let you know and help you identify suitable options.
During counselling, we can provide information to help you find appropriate services, including healthcare providers covered by social health insurance or privately funded services.
The psychological services provided by the University are not designed to respond to emergencies or situations requiring immediate intervention.

Support may include extra time in exams, an alternative assessment format, assistive technology, accessible materials or a quieter examination environment. Available support is assessed individually and is not granted automatically.
You will normally need an official and complete document confirming your condition and explaining how it affects your studies. Requirements may differ for applicants, enrolled students and exchange students.
Information about your condition and supporting documents is handled confidentially and is only shared with authorised University staff for the purpose of assessing and providing support.
If you need an adjustment during the admission process, contact the person or unit named in the admission information as early as possible. Submit the required request and supporting document by the relevant deadline.
Admission arrangements are separate from accessibility support after enrolment. After you enrol and activate your student status, sign in to read the Accessibility Guide for Enrolled Students.
The following process applies to exchange students nominated by a Corvinus partner university.
Freemover students: If you are not studying at Corvinus through a partner-university agreement, you must follow the same process as degree students after enrolment.
Individual consultations are available to bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral students. You can meet the Disability Support Coordinator in person or online via Teams.
You do not need to know exactly what support you need before contacting us. A consultation is not a medical assessment and does not automatically mean that accommodations will be approved.
To book a consultation, please complete the Consultation Request Form.
