Open consultation hours at the PBS

Beratungsgespräch in der PBS

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 to 13:45. Please note that you should come to the Counselling Centre in the quarter of an hour before (i.e. between 12:15 and 12:30) and register briefly in the secretary’s office to attend the open consultation hour. This helps us to organise the consultation hours on the day in question. There are a total of max. 3 opportunities to talk for up to 25 minutes per person during the open consultation hours. If after the first 3 students have registered for open office hours, they will unfortunately not be able to attend on that day.
If the open office hours cannot take place on a certain date, we will indicate this on our website.

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.

More relaxed through the exam period

Prüfungsangst

The PBS course programme for the summer semester now also includes a free compact workshop on the topic of exam anxiety and presentation stress.

The PBS already held a workshop on the topic of exam nerves in the last winter semester. Demand and feedback from students were so positive here that further dates are now being offered.

That’s what it’s about:

Many people feel uncomfortable and sometimes anxious in performance situations such as exams or presentations. To a certain extent, this is normal and is related to the desire to perform well and find positive feedback. However, above a certain level of nervousness and tension, performance can suffer (not to mention discomfort), and it is often no longer possible to achieve a performance commensurate with the skills available. In extreme cases, when anxiety and stress are very pronounced, performance can collapse completely (blackout).

In the workshop you will experience and learn in practice

  • How performance anxiety arises and how you can reduce it.
  • What the essential characteristics of mental training are and how you can improve mental strength in performance situations.
  • Why it makes sense to decouple performance or success from self-acceptance and self-esteem and how this can be achieved.
  • How you can significantly reduce stress and anxiety within a few minutes in moments of high mental stress.

Direction:

Dipl.-Psych. Stefan Balz

Date and place:

Friday, 12.05.2023 from 14:00 to 18:00.

Meeting room (5th floor) of the Studierendenwerk Tübingen Hohenheim, Friedrichstraße 21 in Tübingen.

New PBS Group Training: Relaxation Skills

Frau entspannt sich

At the end of April/beginning of May, the PBS team offers group training sessions in which students can learn about and try out effective relaxation techniques.

Are you often stressed? Do you find it difficult to switch off? Do you feel like you are rushing through your studies and sometimes lack the time to take a breath and relax? Stress management and relaxation are important factors for our mental and physical health. In our hectic daily lives, it can be hard to relax and de-stress, which can lead to physical and mental ailments. By learning how to relax and reduce stress, we not only improve our physical and mental health, but we are also better able to cope with challenges and demands in everyday life.

This group training is aimed at all students who want to learn about different relaxation methods and try them out right away. The central aim is to support you in finding an individually suitable form of relaxation and integrating it appropriately into your own everyday life.

The training includes

  • Knowledge transfer on the topic of stress and relaxation
  • Information and practical exercises on progressive muscle relaxation, breath relaxation, mindfulness techniques, imagination and short exercises for everyday life.

With the help of exercises to do at home, you can apply and consolidate the newly learned strategies in a real-life environment.

Direction

Meike Raunegger-Müller

27.04.2023, 04.05.2023 and 11.05.2023

PBS Workshop: Exam Fear & Presentation Stress

On 9.12.2022, our PBS team  is offering a workshop that shows students how to deal with stress in exam situations more effectively and consciously.

Many people feel uncomfortable and sometimes anxious in performance situations such as exams or presentations. To a certain extent, this is normal and is related to the desire to perform well and find positive feedback. However, above a certain level of nervousness and tension, performance can suffer (not to mention discomfort), and it is often no longer possible to achieve a performance commensurate with the skills available. In extreme cases, when anxiety and stress are very pronounced, performance can collapse completely (blackout).

In the workshop you will experience and learn in practice

  • How performance anxiety arises and how you can reduce it.
  • What the essential characteristics of mental training are and how you can improve mental strength in performance situations.
  • Why it makes sense to decouple performance or success from self-acceptance and self-esteem and how this can be achieved.
  • How you can significantly reduce stress and anxiety within a few minutes in moments of high mental stress.

Online appointment booking in the PBS

Online-Terminbuchung

From now on you can book an appointment for your initial psychotherapeutic consultation via our website.

 

Is there a topic that is bothering you and that you would like to discuss in a protected setting? Our team at the psychotherapeutic counselling centre will be happy to help you. Counselling is also available in English and is, of course, free of charge.

In order to make access to counselling as easy as possible, the Studierendenwerk has introduced an online appointment system on its website. From now on, you can use an online calendar to select free appointments for your first counselling session at the PBS and reserve an appointment that suits you. To do this, we only need a few details from you (e.g. at which college/university you are enrolled). The transfer of your data is encrypted and completely secure. After you have registered, we will send you all the necessary information on the further procedure.

If you are unable to attend the appointment, please let us know as soon as possible. In the interest of all those seeking advice, we try to keep waiting times short. By cancelling an appointment early, you help us to be able to assign the appointment to someone else.

If there is no suitable appointment, please send us an email at pbs-stuwe [at] sw-tuebingen-hohenheim [dot] de or contact the office by phone at + 49 7071 / 253960.
