Psychological Counseling
Personal or study related problems?
The Psychological Counseling Services at UZH and ETH supports students and PhD candidates facing academic or personal stress and/or mental health issues. To this end, it offers personal counseling and group workshops.
Personal Counseling
The counseling is free of charge, confidential, and can be conducted in German, English, French or Italian. If psychotherapy is required, the Psychological Counseling Services can also support you in finding a suitable therapist. However, the Psychological Counseling Services itself does not offer psychotherapy.
You can schedule an appointment for a personal counseling session online on the Psychological Counseling Services website:
