| | counselling service | Explanation:
I'm suggesting 'service' rather than 'centre' as it could be as small as a single person (and it also gets twice as many ghits as centre). I think 'centre' might imply a larger set up. Similar to Anne-Marie's answer, but I think that is probably a less widespread term.
La cellule d'écoute psychologique de Sciences Po est ouverte au :
13, rue de l'Université, salle J 206 (2ème étage)
Horaires des consultations : les mardi et vendredi de 16h à 18h.
Le Docteur Didier Destal, psychiatre, reçoit les élèves pour des entretiens, individuels ou en groupe, visant à apporter soutien, écoute et conseils d'orientation.

| Grading comment Thank you. Listening Ear Service is great too but 1) as a translator I usually use more conservative/neutral terms and 2) the university in question is a business school, so students would be keenly aware of being "talked down to". You're right: service is better than centre/center.

6 mins confidence:  
10 mins confidence: peer agreement (net): +2 'Listening Ear' Service
Explanation:
This term might sound odd, but the service exists in my children's school. It is less formal than counselling and is a space for children or parents to speak to a member of staff in confidence, with no pressure for action to be taken.
