Counseling in English

Individual

An English (first language) speaking counselor is available to students to discuss any problem that may be making study or student life difficult.

There are many problems that can affect study and it can be very helpful to discuss these with a counselor.

If you are having trouble with:

Your mood - feeling down all the time

Exam anxiety - becoming so stressed during exams that it affects your performance

General stress - everything starts to become too much to cope with on your own

Sleeping – you begin to have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or staying awake during the day

Study skills – difficulty concentrating, completing assignments on time or planning your schedule

Sadness – you have lost a family member or are missing home intensely

Adjusting to life in Sweden – you find being in a new and different culture hard to cope with

...then you may find speaking with a counselor very helpful!

How it works:

Usually you will be asked some questions on the phone first to check what kind of help we can offer you. We take all questions seriously and understand it is important not to have to wait too long for help.

Often people come to one or two appointments to discuss their concerns as it is quite common for people who get help to find that their problems get better very quickly! It can be really helpful just to discuss your concerns with another person. For bigger problems there are also options if more appointments are needed. Appointments usually last for 50 minutes. It’s OK if you don’t know what to say! Your counselor will help by asking lots of questions and you will be able to discuss the things that are bothering you.

All appointments take place in private and no one else can hear what you say. All appointments are totally confidential. In some cases it can be helpful to join groups – for example, we regularly offer courses on ‘speaking in front of groups’ and ‘exam anxiety’. Your counselor will be able to organize this for you.
