As a student at SDU you have the option to get free counselling sessions at the Research Clinic.
The sessions are conducted by psychology students who are doing internships at the Research Clinic, near the end of their education. The sessions take place under close professional guidance and supervision by authorised, experienced psychologists from the Department of Psychology.
All sessions are subject to confidentiality. The Research Clinic is based on the Ethical Principles for Nordic Psychologists. Sessions are offered in English and Danish. This offer is not available to psychology students.
About the application process
When you contact the Research Clinic – by calling within our opening hours – we will either conduct the initial screening immediately or agree on a time for this. As the Research Clinic is not specialized, we have a two-stage screening process, to ensure that this is the right offer for you.
First, we will conduct a phone screening, which typically takes 15-20 minutes. The purpose of this screening is to identify whether there is a more appropriate offer for your specific problem, and for us to get a brief understanding of who you are, and what you would like to talk about.
After the screening
After the phone screening you will either be directed to a more specialized offer or placed on the waiting list for a visitation session, until one of our interns is able to take on another client.
The visitation sessions are held at the Research Clinic and takes around 90 minutes. During the session we will go more in depth about who you are, what you would like to talk about, and what your goals for the counselling
sessions are.
Where?
The sessions take place at SDU, in the premises of the Research Clinic at the Department of Psychology in the new HEALTH-building.
