Student psychologists
Having a hard time? Our student psychologists are here for you!
Are you feeling overwhelmed or struggling with yourself?
During an initial consultation, we take the time to listen to your story together and explore what you need.
Our approach is solution-focused and short-term.
Do you need more and/or specialised support?
We will work with you to find the most appropriate form of further guidance or care.
Make an Appointment
Make an appointment with one of our student psychologists — appointments are usually available at short notice.
The Student Centre will be closed from Thursday 25 December 2025 until Thursday 1 January 2026, which may result in longer waiting times.
In the meantime, you are welcome to attend a walk-in consultation for an initial listening ear and take a look at Wellbeing at Ghent University.
You can also find support by (anonymously) posting your question on Ufora – Well in Your Feelings.
There is also a group programme available. Feel free to take a look.
