Student Health Service in Visby
What The Student Health Service can help you with
Our counsellors and health pedagogues can help you with questions connected to life as a student. You can, for example:
- get advice from our counsellors
- get advice from our health pedagogues
- receive shorter individual counselling if your situation affects your studies
- talk about your lifestyle habits.
When you need to turn to other healthcare providers
In some cases, you should turn to other care providers than the Student Health Service. This applies, for example, if:
- you have a physical illness or injuries
- you know that you need to see a doctor to get a prescription or a doctor's certificate
- you want to be assessed for ADHD, autism or dyslexia
- you have more severe or persistent mental health problems, want to be assessed for potential psychotherapy, or want long-term therapy.
In such cases, you should contact a health centre (vårdcentral), or call 1177 (from a foreign phone number dial +46 711 11 77 00).
If you are unsure where to turn for help, you are welcome to book a telephone counselling appointment for advice.
Drop-in to the counsellor is canceled Monday 2 October.
Telephone counselling and booking an appointment
If you want an appointment for individual counselling you must first book a telephone counselling appointment. Our counsellors or psychologists will ask questions about what is troubling you. They will give you advice and set up an appointment for you, if the assessment is that the Student Health Service are best suited to help you. If not, you will be guided to the right place. If you are unsure where to find help, book an appointment and we will help you.
All staff at the Student Health Service are bound by confidentiality, professional secrecy. No information is released without your consent.
Make an appointment for telephone counselling
Every Monday through Thursday before 10:00 we post open telephone counselling appointments for that day. If there are no available times, new times will be added the next day.
On Mondays, between 13:00–14:00, you can also drop in to our office to make an appointment.
Currently, it is possible to get a first time counselling appointment within 1–2 weeks.
Cancellation and rebooking
Remember to change or cancel your appointment if you can not arrive at your booked time. If you need to cancel your appointment please contact us.
Support about lifestyle habits
Our health pedagogues offers individual coaching conversations about lifestyle habits. The conversations are based on your needs and can, for example, be about diet, sleep, physical activity and routines.
To book an appointment, send an email with your name and telephone number to halsopedagog-sh@uu.se. We will call you to book a meeting.
