Psychological Counseling

The counselling takes the form of a confidential conversation between the client and the counsellor. Consultations can be done in person or online via video chat. The first meeting is usually devoted to mapping the situation and expectations. The length of one meeting is 50 minutes. The total number and frequency of meetings is by appointment, according to the needs of the clients. By using the Psychological Counselling service, the client acknowledges the Information on the processing and protection of personal data at the UO Counseling and Career Centre.

Personal consultations take place directly at the premises of the Counseling and Career Centre at Mlýnská 5. The date must be arranged in advance by email or by phone at +420 553 46 1345.

Online consultations are then conducted via video call on a secure platform. A working camera and microphone, a stable internet connection and a quiet place where you won't be disturbed by anyone are essential.

Write to the email and describe the issue in the body of the message, at least briefly.
