BBU provides an opportunity for students to seek mental health counselling if they have a personal problem, have learning difficulties, or if their mental health requires it. The counselling is free of charge.

Everybody experiences difficult times in their lives, and students are no exception. Students may want someone to listen to them, help them orient themselves into their new life, or to just be with them when they are enduring pain and fear. Usually, we turn to people we know, but often, everyone can benefit from receiving an external perspective, given by an outsider. Fortunately, in today’s world, it is becoming increasingly accepted to go to an impartial professional, to discuss our difficulties with them, and then work together to find a solution to the challenges.

Mental health/psychological counselling may be needed if you are experiencing any kind of blockage, crisis or difficulty in your personal life, studies or work. Problems with family, relationships, time management, employment, career planning, learning – in short: life management problems.
