There are two options for appointments:

• Nybesök på Studenthuset SU (appointment at the Student Health Services reception at Stockholm University).

Be sure to try both options when searching for available appointments.  The same options are also available for health and lifestyle consultations.

All visits and participation in activities at the Student Health Services are free of charge.

No, your problem does not have to be related to your studies.

At the Student Health Services, we can offer you support when it comes to study-related problems such as procrastination and public speaking anxiety. But we also help with problems that may be related to other areas, such as stress, depression, anxiety, relationships, alcohol habits and other lifestyle issues.

Sweden has a national disability policy to ensure equal opportunities for all. However, it’s not the Student Health Services who administer applications.

At most higher education institutions, targeted study support is applied for via a national system called Nais. Please see your higher education institution’s website to find out more about what applies at your study destination.

• A health and lifestyle consultation is held by an occupational health nurse and focuses on lifestyle habits and how these can affect your well-being and stress levels. For example, it can be about sleep, diet, physical activity, alcohol and tobacco. 
• An individual consultation is held by a staff member with at least basic training in psychotherapy, such as a counsellor or a psychologist. You are welcome to book an appointment regardless of what you would like to talk about. It can be things that are directly related to your studies or things that concern life in general.

You will receive the same support whether you choose to book an initial appointment ("nybesök") with a psychologist or a counsellor. 

All of our staff who provide individual counselling have, in addition to their basic qualifications, at least foundational training in psychotherapy.
