Student Counseling Center

Student Counseling Center

The Student Counseling Center helps you promote your adaptation to university life and personal development. Apart from counseling, educational activities such as lunch meetings, group seminars, and workshops are held. Visits can also be made simply for relaxation purposes. We also support students with mental and/or developmental challenges.

Counseling

Qualified counselors and a psychiatrist can attend to student needs and offer advice. We are available for consultation on a wide variety of issues and concerns. Counselors and the psychiatrist always respect student privacy and any consultation is totally confidential, unless the student explicitly allows information to be shared. Students also retain the right to anonymity. The only exception to such confidentiality is when the counselor deems the student to be a serious danger either to him/herself, or to others, or when some kind of illegal activity is involved. Counselors can communicate face-to-face, by phone, or by online(from the second session). The lenght of counseling session is normally 30-50 minutes which is offered free of charge. Reservations can be made at the center, by telephone or by e-mail, by Google form. Counseling is also available without reservation.
N.B Counseling can be provided in English, or in other languages with the help of Reitaku staff if interpreting is required.
