Mental health during university studies—a topic that affects many but often goes unheard. In this episode, Tanja talks to Dr. Bibiane Freunberger-Rendl, head of Psychological Counseling at the University of Salzburg, about typical challenges students face: exam anxiety, exhaustion, social isolation, decision-making crises, or feeling overwhelmed by world events.

How does psychological counseling work? Who can seek help – and when? What happens during the initial consultation? And why are five appointments sometimes more important than a quick fix? The episode shows how low-threshold, professional, and empathetic support is offered – in one-on-one sessions, in groups, or through workshops.

An episode worth listening to for anyone who studies, accompanies students, or wonders how much space mental health should – and must – be given in everyday university life.
