If you encounter health or psychological difficulties, the University of Warsaw will not leave you alone.
The Office for Persons with Disabilities
The Office for Persons with Disabilities at the University of Warsaw provides services for all students with disabilities in formal meaning. Its main aim is to provide all the necessary forms of support to persons with disabilities. The services they provide are also dedicated to persons who are chronically ill or temporarily disabled and – due to their health conditions – are not able to follow the standard schedule of their studies. What is very important, a formal certificate of disability is not required – the situation is assessed on an individual basis.
Moreover, the Office for Persons with Disabilities allows free consultations with a psychiatrist. The character of those meetings is consultative: after recognizing the problem, the specialist advises an optimal form of support or treatment, for example, psychotherapy in an external medical centre. The meeting can be scheduled in person or by phone.
Please note that the OPD offers consultations with a psychiatrist. The psychologist is available at the Psychological Counselling Centre
(read below).

Psychological Counselling Center
The Psychological Counselling Center (Centrum Pomocy Psychologicznej – CPP), opened in March 2018, provides professional counselling services for students and employees of the University of Warsaw. It offers short-term support, diagnosis, psycho-education, and crisis intervention.
Consultations are individual and free of charge. Each student is entitled to have three individual meetings in a semester.
Therapists guarantee confidentiality.
The centre is located on the first and second floors in the former UW Physics Department building (Pasteura Street 7).
In an emergency, there is a possibility of a concise consultation without prior registration – a walk-in clinic.
On the 18th of March, 2024, the Psychological and Counselling Services Centre launched an UW Helpline. The Helpline is dedicated to students and employees of UW who are abroad, in hospitals, or are not able to come in person.
An initial diagnosis is made at the Psychological and Counselling Services Centre, based on which you may be referred for further consultation with a psychologist or psychiatrist (appointments with a psychiatrist can be made at the Office for Persons with Disabilities).
