Psychological and psychotherapeutic counselling

If you are having a hard time dealing with personal, academic, work-related or other problems and feel the need to address them, you have come to the right place. Palacký University has several counselling centres where students and staff can actively address their difficulties.
Most of these centres offer psychological counselling, but some also offer psychotherapy services, coaching or crisis intervention.
Below, you will find the contact details of each professional, including what services they provide, who the services are suited for and whether they are free or chargeable. You can usually find them by the faculty where you study or work, but we also have workplaces that offer services for all students or staff, regardless of where they work or study (e.g. Social Health Institute OUSHI). In addition, students with special needs can take advantage of psychological counselling at the Support Centre for Students with Special Needs. Services can be combined.
If you are studying at Palacký University as part of the Erasmus+ study programmes or in one of the degree study programmes, you can use some of the following contacts:
