Psychosocial counselling
Studying not only offers many opportunities and possibilities, but also places high demands on students. Academic difficulties and personal problems are therefore not unusual. Sometimes there are problems that cannot be solved on one's own. In such cases, counselling by someone who can look at the situation from the ‘outside’ can be very helpful. The aim is to support students in difficult situations, such as stress, conflicts, existential crises, etc. Together, solution-oriented changes can be developed and access to your own resources can be found. A counselling session can bring relief and distance from a deadlocked situation. It gives you the freedom to look for new possibilities again.

Of course, you are also welcome if you don't really know what the problem is yet. Maybe you are just looking for someone to listen to you and help you ‘sort out’ your thoughts.

Psychosocial counselling by the Studentenwerk Halle is free of charge and anonymous. You can have up to four counselling sessions. The counselling sessions can be held in multiple languages, depending on your preference.

The Studentenwerk Halle offers free psychosocial counselling on campus every Monday without the need to book an appointment.

The current counselling times and locations for psychosocial counselling can be found on the Studentenwerk website
