You can get professional help from a psychologist regarding issues in your personal life or relationships, academic difficulties, carreer indecisions, motivational issues or if you need some help in managing transitions or challenging life situations.
Counselling sessions are accessible online on the Next Cloud system (https://nc.elte.hu/). This platform guarantees data safety so that we can ensure complete confidentiality and anonymity for online counselling as well. Microsoft Teams is the secondary platform for counselling in case of technical setbacks. After you agree on a given time for the session, the student counsellor will initiate an online call through the NextCloud system.
How to contact us?
You can contact us via the studentconsult@inf.elte.hu email address or by filling out an application sheet on our website.
We ask you to find a quiet place where you can spend 50 minutes with no interruption. This means it is a place where no one else is there, no one will talk to you or walk in. It is best if this room can be closed with a door and you put a sign outside “ please do not disturb” with the specific time span displayed (e.g. Please do not disturb between 2-3 p.m.). If you think it is needed you can also notify people in your surroundings you will not be available for the next 50 minutes or so. We recommend you to log out of all the other programs on your device during the session and close them. We ask you to use a computer and not a phone or tablet if possible. Put the computer on a stable place such as a desk whilst we talk. Please make sure your batteries are charged so that you can use it at least for 50 minutes.
As a counsellor we use a private window on our computer so there will be no history on our computer of our call. You also use this private mode if you like.
