University counselling – history, current situation and future challenges: University counselling from the counsellors’ perspective

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The article focuses on the current state of university counselling services in the Czech Republic and on changes in the needs of students and academic staff as perceived by counselling professionals. The introductory section outlines the historical development and institutional establishment of counselling services, including the legislative framework and the professionalization of the fi eld. The empirical part is based on an online questionnaire surveyconducted among 22 counsellors working at four Czech universities. The results show that counselling services have become a stable and respected component of the higher education environment, with a signifi cant increase in demand, particularly for psychological support. Predominant student-related issues include anxiety, uncertainty, overload, academic diffi culties, and weakened social skills, with counsellors also reporting long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study further highlights the expansion of counselling services toward supporting academic staff, especially in working with students experiencing diffi culties. Despite these positive developments, structural barriers persist, including uneven availability of services, limited capacity and unclear expectations regarding the role of university counselling centers. The conclusion formulates recommendations aimed at strengthening systemic integration, prevention and cooperation with the academic community.
