What can we do to help you?

We offer counselling in situations where you need to make a decision, such as choosing a course, experiencing problems with your studies, considering a change of subject or dropping out, or planning your further education.

It is not only important to find and evaluate all the necessary information. Often it is a matter of discussing your situation together, becoming clear about your own wishes and motives, finding causes for mistakes or difficulties, gaining orientation about your options, looking for suitable contacts, and developing individual strategies for making and implementing decisions.

The counselling is confidential, personal, results-oriented and free of charge. Advice seekers and counsellor are not in a relationship of dependency.

Advice is available throughout the year, with the exception of the New Year period.
