Psychological Counseling

If you're struggling with the loss of close family members, relationship issues, social or financial issues, loneliness, fears of failure, a lack of self-esteem, feelings of guilt, or a depressive disorder, you should think about seeking professional advice.

The Studierendenwerk's Psychotherapeutic Counselling is a first point of contact to talk about your questions and personal and social issues in a professional setting. This will help you find appropriate solutions and plan your next steps.
