Student Counseling Room：Keio University Student Website

Student Counseling Room

The Student Counseling Room was established to give all students the opportunity to consult with a counselor on various issues that may arise during the course of their studies at Keio University.

Rather than struggling with problems alone, students are encouraged to visit the Counseling Room and obtain professional assistance.

Every consultation is kept confidential.

To All Students

Although the state of emergency has been lifted and you may feel a bit relieved, there are still restrictions to meet people or go out and it is still hard to feel safe these days. If things were different, you may have been able to meet new friends on campus and participated in class, but most things has changed its place to online. We assume many of you are feeling confused or anxious about this.

Trying classes online is a new experience not only to students, but to academicians and university staffs as well. You may have started to feel the exhaustion with the trouble setting up the hardware, or be stressed about the new class environment. With the continuing quarantine from April, you may also feel lonely or tense. Always being in the same atmosphere with your family or partner may be stressful too.

Given the current situation, it is a natural response to be anxious or frustrated. Please try to find a healthy way to deal with your stress and take good care of yourself.

On the "Message from us counselors; Selfcare materials you can use right now", it has tips on how to deal with stress. Please make it of use.
