Financial support for external psychotherapy

• Normally, Stuvo LUCA does not provide financial support for external psychotherapy.
• Students can contact the psychologists and therapists of Stuvo LUCA (Anne-Marie, Samantha and Sofie) for short-term counselling in all confidence and free of charge. Only for follow-up sessions with Pol in Brussels we charge a fee of €5/session.
• Our psychologists and psychotherapists can refer you to external therapy. If you have difficulties paying for these sessions, you can submit a request for support to the social services of Stuvo LUCA. They will handle your request in all confidence. Please note that you should meet some conditions to get financial aid.
• Therapy you attend externally on your own initiative, without a referral or advice from a Stuvo psychologist, is not covered by Stuvo.
• Tip: ask your health insurance company about financial benefits for psychotherapy
