If the university psychologists are unable to offer you the support you need, they will refer you to other external support agencies. There are several appointments you can make:
- Open consultation hour: You can briefly discuss your symptoms to decide together with the psychologist whether it would be worthwhile to refer you to the university psychologists.
- General Intake:In aGeneral intake your problems, symptoms, background and needs will be discussedto decide what further support is needed.
- Groups & workshops:For enrolment in a group, you schedule an appointment for an intake interview todecide whether participation in such a group would be beneficial for you.
