In person in Debrecen
An English-speaking psychologist in Debrecen
I offer psychological counselling in English in Debrecen, for international students, people who have moved here for work, and their partners and teenage children. You can also meet me online.
Who I work with in Debrecen
- International students at the University of Debrecen, including medical and health science students under heavy exam pressure, far from home.
- People who moved for work and are building a life in a city and language that are new to them.
- Partners and families who came along with someone else’s job, and teenagers adjusting to a new school and culture.
- Hungarians and long-term residents who prefer to talk about personal matters in English.
What we can work on
Homesickness and loneliness, culture shock, identity questions, life crises, low mood and burnout, grief, relationship and family strain, and the after-effects of difficult experiences. See counselling for expats, students and immigrants and difficult experiences and life crises.

Common questions
Do I need a referral or a Hungarian social security (TAJ) card?
No. This is a private practice, so you can contact me directly. Sessions are paid privately and are not covered by the Hungarian state health insurance.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Write to me and I will reply within two working days with my current availability.
I am an international student. Is this different from the university counselling service?
The University of Debrecen offers free counselling for international students for a limited number of sessions. I am independent of the university, so you can continue with me if you want longer-term or more flexible support.
Is what I say confidential?
Yes. Everything you share stays between us, with the narrow exceptions every psychologist has: a serious risk to your life or someone else’s, or the protection of a child. I explain these in our first conversation.
I am not an emergency service. If you are in danger or thinking about ending your life, call 112 or the free emotional support line 116 123.
