Student psychologists

The services of the student psychologists are intended for current registered students of Leiden University. During your first consultation with the student psychologist, you will be given the opportunity to talk about your situation and discuss the best course of action. In some cases, you might find that one consultation is sufficient. The psychologist may be able to offer advice or provide information that helps you to resolve your difficulties.

You may, for example, be advised to follow a workshop or training course in study skills or personal development. In other cases, the psychologist may offer you short-term individual guidance.

You can make an appointment for a consultation in Leiden or The Hague by using the online appointment system.
