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.

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.
