Our services

The Psychological Counseling Center offers individual counseling or coaching for study-related and personal problems, e.g.

• learning and performance problems
• writer’s block
• procrastination
• test anxiety
• depressive moods
• self-esteem problems
• loneliness

After registering by telephone (see telephone consultation hours), you will be given an appointment for an initial consultation in which you can describe your concerns. We will endeavor to offer you an appointment for an initial consultation within a few weeks. However, during peak periods, waiting times can be longer due to high demand. Therefore, please contact us as early as possible if you need to talk to us!

The initial consultation takes place in the PBS offices at Bismarckstraße 10 (Mensaria am Schloss | Entrance C).

Your concerns will be further clarified – also by means of psychological questionnaires – in a second interview.

Based on the information from the first two meetings, a joint decision will be made as to whether up to 6 further counseling sessions will take place at the PBS or whether a referral to other services would be more appropriate.

The PBS team works primarily with methods of cognitive behavioral therapy and systemic therapy. The individual sessions (50 minutes each) are usually held on a weekly basis, but can also take place at longer intervals if required.

At the end of the consultation, the success and your satisfaction with the consultation will be assessed in a personal meeting and by means of a short questionnaire. We will also discuss how you can best continue to deal with your issue independently.
