Psychotherapeutic Counselling
We are here for you
Dear students,
Studying places many demands on all areas of daily life. Not everything always runs smoothly. Even if many challenges are mastered by the students themselves, there can still be disruptions that awaken the need for professional advice.
At the moment there are additional changes and burdens caused by the coronavirus pandemic: online studies, limited earning opportunities, health-related fears and reduced contact and leisure activities.
We offer individual counselling and couples therapy. We also offer helpful workshops and groups, which you can find at the bottom of this page.
Please make an appointment for a confidential consultation.
We currently provide advice by phone, video and in person.
Noticed: Do not enter the counseling center with cold symptoms.

We help to find solutions for study-specific topics, such as:
