International Peer-Counselling Organisation (IPCO)

The International Peer-Counselling Organisation is a voluntary student organisation that aspires to improve students' mental health at Eötvös Loránd University by offering free peer-counselling services to all international students.

The IPCO team consists of peer-counsellors who are Psychology MA students from Clinical and Health Psychology and Educational and Counselling Psychology specialisations. All peer-counsellors are qualified, trained and supervised by licensed psychologists of the ELTE Counselling Centre.

Peer-counselling allows students to work through the different challenges they may face, such as

  • procrastination
  • anger
  • anxiety
  • self-esteem
  • and educational and relationship issues

IPCO offers international students six peer-counselling sessions during each academic semester. The sessions are 50-minutes long and can be in person or through online video calls. Services are free of charge for all international students with an active student status at ELTE.
