BRUCC is a center for psychological services where teens (from 12 years old) and adults can go to for psychological counseling.
Individual support
Throughout the life course, people may be confronted with psychological difficulties such as insecurity, low self-esteem, anxiety, stress, loneliness, burn-out, low-mood, impactful life events, relational difficulties, grief, loneliness, self-harm and suicidal ideation.
BRUCC offers a listening ear to each individual and vulnerable story and develops a tailored care pathway in consultation with the adolescent or young adult.
At BRUCC, teens from 12 years old and adults can access an individual care trajectory (€90 per session) and/or participate in one (or more) of our group-based training programs focusing on various psychological themes (€12.5 group training session, provided that you are affiliated with a Belgian health insurance fund).

This offer includes a limited number of individual sessions or participation in one or more group-based training programs. To be eligible for this offer, the student must be affiliated with a Belgian health insurance fund.
If you are a student aged 24 or older, you can access a number of affordable individual sessions (€11/session) or group-based training programs (€12.5/training) at BRUCC for the treatment of mild to moderate psychological difficulties. The only requirement is that you are affiliated with a Belgian health insurance fund.
