In addition, students are eligible to seek advice and guidance for any type of problem (anxiety, mood disorders, etc.), social, emotional or academic issues. In this sense, “problem” should not carry a negative meaning as it may include a desire for self-improvement, personal development or simply a need to talk about a personal situation with a psychologist.In cases with specific problems or those that require longer therapy, the staff will inform students about the proper specialist or centre.
