Psychological service

Within the Psychological Service, each psychologist has their own range of tasks and specialisation. In addition to participating in the multidisciplinary teams, you can also contact the psychologist for outpatient, short-term guidance. The psychologists guide children, young people, adults and the elderly. Not only the patient, but also their loved ones can turn to the psychologist. The cost of the guidance depends on the specialisation.
