The Centre for Student Counselling and Development offers free and confidential support services to students at Tygerberg Campus.

?Location of the new CSCD Tygerberg offices:

The Unit for Psychotherapeutic and Support Services (UPSS) 

Psychologists assist their clients to address psychological, emotional and relational problems as well as facilitate personal development. Two fulltime clinical psychologists along with a part-time counselling psychologist and a social worker are based on Tygerberg campus. Our services are well utilised and there is often a waiting list for individual psychotherapy. Consultant psychologists are contracted in to render additional services to assist in managing the waiting list.

Students can call the CSCD at (021) 927 7020, email supportus@sun.ac.za? or report to reception to make an appointment with a psychologist. 

Individual psychotherapy 

The focus of therapy can include problems like depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma or grief. The UPSS offers short-term therapy. If students need to be absent from academic responsibilities to enable them to make use of the service, arrangements can be made with the faculty. 

Group interventions 

Group interventions are facilitated, including Breathing Space (relaxation exercises group); Connect (group therapy); Depression and Anxiety (skills group) as well as debriefing and wellness reflection group sessions. Enquiries about group interventions can be sent to supportus@sun.ac.za.  

ER24 emergency service

ER24 renders a free after hour emergency service for emotional or medical emergencies to all registered Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票 students. Students that experience emotional crisis after hours (between 16h00 and 8h00) can call 010 205 3032, identify themselves as a Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票 student and request a trauma counsellor. Telephonic counselling, as well as face to face counselling is available to Tygerberg campus students. Students who need medical assistance will be stabilised on the scene free of charge. If they need to be transported to a hospital, a fee will be incurred that is for the student's own bill.

Students who feel that they are in crisis can request an urgent appointment at reception during working hours. They will subsequently be screened by a psychologist or counsellor to determine what type of assistance is required.


Food Security Support to Students

Food insecurity is a problem that continues to be a reality for students across the South African universities especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. To address the issue of food insecurity at Stellenbosch 中国体育彩票, the CDCD's social workers manage the food security programme.

Who qualifies for food security support?

  • Students who do not have funding
  • Students who are partially funded and whose funding does not make any provisions for food

The process for requesting and receiving food security support:

  • Send an email to supportus@sun.ac.za
  • The social worker will conduct an assessment to determine the financial neediness of the student

As soon as the assessment process is concluded, a student is informed of the kind of assistance they are offered.
