Counselling Service
The team of counsellors consists of graduate student interns with backgrounds in psychology and/or other disciplines that are conducive to their counselling responsibilities. Counsellors’ work is supervised by their 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 counsellor must conform to the ethical code whereby information about counsellors (or even that students 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 student’s 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 counsellor prior to or during the counselling session.
For further inquiries or information, feel free to contact Office for Student and Alumni Affairs at 8592 5655 or email to studentaffairs@usj.edu.mo and appointments with the counselors will be arranged for you.
