Health Psychology Counselling online

25 March 2020

Dear Students,

We would like to inform you that Medical School’s Health Psychology Counselling service is continuously available as online distance service. The psychological support is provided in virtual space, via online channels, like Skype or similar connections.

Privacy and security is a priority for us. Online relationship requires special settings ensured by both parties. We suppose a responsible behaviour of our students.

Online counselling has a special character compared to face to face encounters. Be aware that it may affect the efficacy and understanding of emotional and verbal communication. Beyond the usual areas of support particular attention will also be paid to psychological consequences of staying home or quarantine.

Due to the conditions of these new technologies in counselling, a longer time may occur until making an appointment. Please, be aware that Health Psychology Counselling do not provides urgent and emergency service.

Applying for appointment: submit an email to Health Psychology Counselling pszikon@aok.pte.hu
