Psychological counseling

A psychologist can help you get a better understanding of your own thoughts, feelings, desires and fears. When your problem has been identified, the psychologist can help to set realistic goals and start finding solutions. Thus, psychological counseling is not about giving advice and ready solutions, but about a process of cooperation and exploration in which you play an important and active part.

Free and confidential individual consultations

From autumn 2021 EBS has a cooperation with three partner psychologists, who are ready to help you with increasing your mental wellbeing if necessary. Our goal is to offer you professional help if needed and as quickly as possible. EBS provides free and confidential individual consultations with our partner psychologists for our currently enrolled students and staff.

This service is intended to provide free short-term (1-3 sessions) counselling, therapy, and psychiatric support to help you manage a range of personal, emotional and psychological concerns. The psychologists will then take it from there and refer you to the right long-term care later on if necessary. Please note that the service is available in Tallinn.
