Wellbeing Centre

The Student Wellbeing and Community Centre team is made up of psychologists, mental health professionals, and disability support specialists.

As a student, you can access psychological counselling to discuss issues related to your personal life, relationships, decision-making, or studies.

You can also turn to us for accessibility and disability-related support.

Psychological counselling

Professional and confidential support for free of charge, if

  • mental health and self-awareness are important to you,
  • you feel overwhelmed by new challenges and academic pressure,
  • you are struggling with feelings of homesickness,
  • challenges emerge in any of your relationships,
  • you feel uncertain about your decisions or about your future,
  • managing stress or maintaining balance has become difficult,
  • studying is more demanding than usual, or the exam period feels overwhelming,
  • or if you are dealing with an event that is difficult to process.

Accessibility

We can help you understand your options if a disability, long-term health condition, learning difficulty, attention-related difficulty or another accessibility-related need affects your studies. Detailed rules are available in the Regulation ensuring equal academic opportunities for students with disabilities.

Emergency

Please be notified that university counselling service does not have the opportunity to handle emergency cases. Wellbeing Centre does not provide clinical or medical healthcare services.”

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.

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.

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.

  • I am applying to Corvinus – see “Support during admission”.
  • I am already enrolled at Corvinus – sign in to read the Accessibility Guide for Enrolled Students.
  • I am an exchange student nominated by a partner university – see “Exchange students”.
  • I am a freemover student – after enrolment, follow the same process as degree students.
  • I am not sure which process applies to me – book an individual consultation.

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.

  1. Send your document. Send your home university’s accommodation letter to your Corvinus programme coordinator (CEMS, Erasmus, Study Abroad). The document must be in English and should list the support you receive at your home university.
  2. Corvinus reviews your request. The Disability Committee reviews the document and decides which accommodations Corvinus can provide during your stay.
  3. Receive your DAS. Your programme coordinator will send you a Documentation of Accessibility Support (DAS) listing the accommodations approved at Corvinus.
  4. Contact your instructors. Send the DAS to the instructors of the relevant courses within 15 days of receiving it and discuss how the approved accommodations can be provided in each course.

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.

  • During the confidential consultation, we can help you:
  • understand what accessibility support may be available
  • identify the correct process and supporting documents
  • discuss difficulties affecting your studies
  • understand how approved accommodations can be used
  • find other University services

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.
