Professional Counselling

EAC has made arrangements with the Emirates Psychology Department to provide psychometric evaluations and professional counselling to students requiring such services. The purpose of professional counselling is to help students appropriately handle the stresses and challenges they face in their academic and personal lives and overcome their emotional problems. It also helps in enhancing students’ skills and attitudes in adapting to college life and making their experience at EAC satisfying and productive. Students in need of professional counselling service can approach the Student Services Office (SSO) of EAC either directly or through their academic advisors. The Student Affairs Officer at SSO will accordingly refer these students to the Emirates Psychology Department for professional counselling services. The staff at Emirates Psychology department is highly trained, experienced, and helpful. They can provide valuable advice and guidance on a variety of concerns and issues including stress management and how to overcome fear of failure, guilt, anger, or depression, etc. Personal information discussed in counselling sessions is always kept confidential.
