Psychological counselling
Psychological counselling aims to support students if problems arise during their studies or in their personal lives. All University of Tartu students, including doctoral students, students from the Pärnu and Narva Colleges and the Viljandi Culture Academy can get free psychological counselling.
Psychologists of University of Tartu can provide assistance in the event of questions or problems relating to:
- motivation to study and use of time;
- exam or public speaking stress;
- excessive worry and anxiety;
- adapting to new environments and excessive stress;
- communication and relationships;
- self-assertion;
- self-esteem;
- depression or being tired of life; and
- difficult events or experiences in life.
The situation in Ukraine concerns all members of the university family, directly or indirectly. Some of us are thinking of their close ones in the war zone, others are affected economically by the crisis. If you feel that your life and coping is disrupted, please do not hesitate to ask for help.
If you feel that you are in a crisis and need immediate help, please turn to the Psychiatry Clinic of Tartu University Hospital offering emergency reception 24 h. Address: Raja str 31, phone: +372 731 8764
