The aim is to enable better self-understanding, and to provide tools for students so that they can deal with everyday difficulties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In individual counselling, the students are encouraged to define their own goals and the outcomes they wish to achieve during meetings with the counsellor. Common goals the students set include increasing motivation for learning, better time management for completing assignments, improving communication with their friends, parents or partners, and better coping with unpleasant emotions such as grief over the death of a loved one, a breakup, parental divorce, as well as working through the fear of exam situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Individual counselling takes place at UCC at the Faculty of Civil Engineering. The counsellors are psychologists with additional training in psychotherapy and counselling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, you will be invited to the first session within 2\u20134 weeks of your application. If further counselling is needed, a starting date will be agreed with the counsellor. During periods of high demand (October, November, March, April), the waiting time may increase to several months. Psychological Counselling aims to offer shorter sessions to include as many students in need as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to the use of annual leave, we will be absent from July 27 until August 17, 2026 and upon returning from vacation, we will contact you for the first interview according to the waiting list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to participate in individual counselling, please complete the application form at the link below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">NOTE: A new web application for submissions is currently being developed, so technical difficulties may occur.
