Individual counseling helps a person understand the nature and origin of a problem he or she has and guides him or her in solving it, relieving the symptoms and improving everyday functioning.

After the initial interview regarding the problem the person is coming with (how long has it been present, how does it affect everyday life, what helps and what makes the situation harder...), a joint decision is made on including the person in the counseling process and the goals he or she wants to achieve. Meetings are usually held once a week and last for 1 hour.

In the Psychological Counseling Office of the University Counseling Center, there is a tendency toward shorter counseling with the average number of 8 sessions. The length of counseling depends on different factors, and can last from a few up to 12 sessions.
