Center for Psychological Consultation and Mediation

During the course of studies many difficult situations occur because of poor communication, which quite frequently results in the lack of understanding of the specific needs or requirements some students may have. Such problems are best resolved with the use of mediation carried out by a professional psychologist, who offers support in identifying the problem and help both sides reach a satisfactory solution based on equal terms. Those issues may very well apply to both students themselves, but also academic staff.

We offer psychological support and help to students in:

• Handling problems with adaptation into a new environment (Wroclaw, university, dormitory)
• Finding solutions in conflicts in relationships (with other students and staff)
• Giving professional advice on how to attain personal goals
• Coping with mental difficulties caused by exams or tests
• Overcoming anxiety and fear
• Handling problems with low self-esteem, lack of motivation and mood swings
• Breaking language and cultural barriers – support available in English

• Online chat or a phone call
• Individual appointment at the University of Technology during weekly psychologist’s duty hours:
  • Tuesdays 12.00am - 04.00pm

mgr Mateusz Kur, psychologist

My name is Mateusz Kur. I graduated in Psychology and Cultural Anthropology, and I am deeply interested in the holistic approach to human beings. This allows me to interconnect cognitive, emotional and physical aspects in my therapeutical practice with patients. I have been involved in working with disabled people (particularly with impaired hearing) for a long time, and thanks to my ability to use the sign language, I feel that I am capable of entering their world. Apart from that, as a fluent English speaker I have a lot of experience in interacting with foreigners representing a different set of cultural values and other backgrounds. I have the necessary skills and competences to ‘see’ the people as individuals thanks to my college education and professional career.
Below are listed some areas I specialise in:

• Psychological support for people in crisis
• Boosting motivation, finding ways for self-improvement and setting personal goals Working with children and teenagers in foster care
• Counselling in the sign language for the deaf and hearing impaired
• Running workshops and educational practice
• Handling problems in relationships
• Resolving conflicts using the NVC (Non-violent Communication) method
