A place for healing and self-empowerment
Every individual has the potential to rejoice in the beauty of life and can overcome challenges. University life's challenges can often be difficult in several ways, for example, facing problems with new environments, confusion in deciding on a major or career path, struggling in relationships, or making friends. In such circumstances, we may feel anxious, depressed, confused, or overwhelmed. Talking with a professional counselor/psychotherapist can help to deal with such difficulties, and explore potentialities to reach the peak of self-empowerment. Counselors maintain confidentiality and assist the client with the help of different therapeutic tools and techniques.
The Counseling and Wellness Centre of Brac University provides professional psychotherapy services for free to all the stakeholders of the university alongside workshops, seminars, and other programs.
You have every right to take care of yourself and we can provide you the support you need for quality self-care.
