Psychotherapeutic counselling

If you are at a loss due to study-related problems or personal conflict situations, the Studierendenwerk Tübingen-Hohenheim offers you professional support in various counselling centres.

Help in difficult life situations

A university course involves many challenges. Everything does not necessarily run smoothly all the time. Many students experience study-related or personal crises, which they do not always seem to be able to overcome alone. In these situations, or when you can see them on the horizon, you can approach the staff at the psychotherapeutic counselling centre. They will help you clarify issues, overcome challenges and prevent problems getting worse or becoming chronic. Normally it is possible to receive counselling promptly. It goes without saying that any situation is subject to strict professional confidentiality.

In addition to our own counselling centres in Tübingen and Stuttgart-Hohenheim, we have cooperation arrangements with counselling centres at other sites. Students at the universities overseen by the Studierendenwerk in Tübingen-Hohenheim can obtain advice at the counselling centres mentioned below. We do not charge you at our own counselling centres. Four counselling appointments are free of charge at the centres that cooperate with us.

Open consultation hour

Our psychotherapeutic counselling centre offers open consultation hours where counselling is possible WITHOUT prior appointment. You can find all the details here. If the open office hours cannot take place on a certain date, we will indicate this here on our website.

Hinweis

Unfortunately, there will be no open consultation hours on 10 June, 29 July, 26 August, 2 September, 9 September, 23 December and 30 December 2025.

What are the open consultation hours?

The open consultation hours allow you to have a counselling talk at certain times without having to make an appointment in advance. In this way, a counselling interview is possible in a timely manner, although it is significantly shorter (max. 25 minutes) than a regular interview (50 minutes). Unlike a regular initial consultation, it will not usually be possible to make further appointments in a timely manner. You can also visit the open consultation hour if you have already made an appointment for a regular initial consultation, but you still have to wait for this (possibly for a longer period of time) and you have an urgent matter. If the already arranged appointment is no longer necessary afterwards, we ask you to inform us accordingly and we can then assign the appointment to someone else. Conversely, you can also make a regular initial appointment after visiting the open consultation hours.

At what times does the open consultation hour take place?

The open consultation hour takes place on Tuesdays from 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm. Please note that you should come to the counselling centre a quarter of an hour before (i.e. between 12:15 pm and 12:30 pm) and register briefly at the secretary’s office to attend the open consultation. This helps us to organise the consultation hours on the day in question. There are a total of max. 5 opportunities to talk for up to 25 minutes per person during the open consultation hours. If after the first 5 students have registered for open office hours, they will unfortunately not be able to attend on that day.

Will data be processed?

We will ask you for your name and make a note of it so that we can organise the timing of the open office hours. We will destroy this note immediately after the end of the consultation so that, as a rule, no more data about your visit to the open consultation is stored. In a few exceptional cases we may (under certain circumstances also without your consent) collect, store and possibly transmit certain data, but we will then inform you of this. This would be the case, for example, in the event of acute suicidal tendencies.

Information

Psychotherapeutic counselling

The brochure Rückenwind – Was Studis gegen Stress tun können (german) contains a lot of information and helpful tips on dealing with stress during studies.

For many who have a need for support that goes beyond counselling, psychotherapy is a suitable and possibly necessary alternative. Comprehensive information on the topic of psychotherapy is contained in the brochure Paths of Psychotherapy published by the Federal Chamber of Psychotherapists.

Depending on their severity and duration (> 6 months), psychological impairments can fulfil the criteria of a disability under social law. The brochure
Studium und Behinderung (Studies and Disability) published by the Deutsches Studentenwerk (German Student Union) contains a lot of information about the rights of affected students and what support services (e.g. compensation for disadvantages) are available.

The Central Student Advisory Service (ZSB) of the University of Tübingen regularly offers events on various study topics, including the event series Studieren mit Plan, in which the Psychotherapeutic Counselling Centre is involved with an event.
