If you ever feel lonely, depressed or stressed over a prolonged period of time, know that you are not alone. AAU offers help for issues like this, as well as relationship issues, procrastination, adjustment to college life, homesickness, and more.
“My depression and anxiety started some time before I came to university, but leaving home, being in an extremely taxing social environment and being under large academic pressure all took their toll on me.”
Student quote from an article on the Guardian
Psychological counseling is available for free to all AAU students, faculty, and staff throughout the year with the exception of August. It is provided in English by counselors Su Luo and Petra Narwa.
The counselor can help you:
- identify your strengths and weaknesses, learning style, values, and motivation,
- address concerns about your concentration, productivity, time management, and social interactions,
- provide support in planning your personal development,
- offer counseling for mental health concerns, such as transitional and adjustment issues, issues interfering with study/work or relationships, crisis management, stress, anxiety, depression or grief, at-risk behaviors with food, alcohol and/or other substances, sexual concerns, etc.
Full personal data protection and confidentiality are guaranteed. The counselor will not share any information about you with your parents, faculty, or deans without your consent.
Sessions
To ensure all students have enough opportunity to get counseling, each student is entitled to book up to four sessions in total during the obligatory semester for free. Additional sessions can be booked only provided that the counselors have free space.
To arrange a session:
Please go to AAU Counseling Center and select your preferred counselor.
You may choose either counselor based on your personal/time preference. However, please note that you cannot visit both counselors at the same time. You can, nevertheless, switch counselors at any time if necessary. You only have to inform both of them about such a change.
In case you cannot attend the scheduled counseling session:
You must notify your counselor at least 24 hours in advance.
If you do not cancel it on time and miss your appointment, you won’t be able to reschedule your appointment for the following week. If you miss your appointment and do not cancel it on time a second time, you will not be able to use the counseling service for the rest of the semester.
If necessary, you can also contact our counselors by email at counseling@aauni.edu.
