Health Psychology Counselling is considered an invaluable service within the University of Pecs, Medical School. Its primary objective is to provide students with professional, discreet and responsive counselling. The service is intended to offer counselling to students enrolled in the Hungarian, English and German programmes and seeks to render professional assistance to students struggling with a plethora of challenges and difficulties evolving from potential changes and upheavals in their personal lifestyles and studies. Our service can aid students seeking professional aid who express control of their routine lifestyle yet are faced with temporary obstacles which seemingly they are not best equipped to solve on their own initiative. The service is free of charge and guarantees complete discretion.
What are the primary challenges facing students?
- Challenges associated with academia in references to studying and training: learning difficulties; stressful exams, anxiety, repeated failures. Uncertainties encountered during the development of one’s medical identity, hardships met in the adaption of the University lifestyle and behavioural growth during medical training.
- Accommodating to intensive challenges routinely faced when encountering a new spectrum of socio-cultural experiences: being far from one's family, unfamiliar environment, difficulties in communication, local behaviour and attitudes common to the host environment, difficulties assimilating to the perplexity of the Hungarian culture.
- Routine challenges associated with life, potentially creating a barrier towards studying: self-esteem, self-confidence; relationships within the family and among friends and partners; hardships encountered in the community and difficulty towards effectively establishing valuable relationships, loneliness and isolation.
