COUNSELING SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL AUA STUDENTS AND ARE FREE OF CHARGE

Counseling services have widely become part of the higher education environment offering support to students, AUA is pleased to announce the launch of Counseling Services, a new service for Armenia.

We often ask ourselves: Who is a psychologist/counselor? How do I know that counseling can help? Can I trust this person? Moreover, some people around us are sure that they can be of better support than a professional counselor.

• Counseling services provide students with a safe environment, an atmosphere of support and empathy where they can share, understand and address their concerns.
• While the psychologist/counselor does not give advice, clients gain insight into the issues, solutions to the problems and strategies for empowerment.
• Once you open up to a counselor, talking can give relief; it is a private conversation.

With counseling, students are able to learn more about themselves and to become more competent and confident both in their personal, relationships, academic and work settings.
