Counselling Service
Our counselling team consists of graduate student interns with backgrounds in psychology and/or other disciplines who are conducive to their counselling responsibilities. The counsellors’ work is supervised by USJ professors and possibly other seasoned counselling professionals. Students can discuss their concerns and issues in their native language. Our current counselling team members are fluent in the following languages:
- Cantonese
- Putonghua
- English
- Portuguese
- Filipino
All involvements in counselling are private and confidential. That is, the counsellors must conform to the ethical code whereby information about counsellors (or even the students who are receiving counselling) will not be disclosed without the counsellees’ written permission. Information about students being seen at Counselling Service will not go into the students’ academic record and will not be provided to parents. The only exceptions take place when it becomes clear that a person’s life is in danger. Students are encouraged to express any concerns they have about confidentiality or about the counselling process with their counsellors prior to or during the counselling session.
If you have any question, or would like to make an appointment with our counsellors, please contact OSAA via email at osaa@usj.edu.mo or give us a call at 8592 5655.
