The Counceling Center was founded in May 1995 after the approval of the Rector’s Council of the University of Piraeus. It is part of the University’s Reasearch Center Programm and it is funded by the same.

The Counceling Center operates on the biopshycosocial model. The center’s goal is to promote personal groath. It operates in three individual levels.

1. The personal and group councelling level, that deals with every-day life problems of the academia.
2. The Social Intervention level, which includes collaboration with local-social authorities and cultural societies.
3. The bio-pshycosocial research programme level, which deals with research concerning the study of the general population, aiming as a result in the creation of counceling and social programme.
