Why seek psychological counseling?
Long-lasting psychological problems such as unresolved conflicts, constant overload, prolonged relationship crises or inadequate problem-solving strategies can lead seamlessly to severe self-doubt, feelings of failure and permanent depression and ultimately result in genuine mental illness and/or promote or cause physical complaints or delay their recovery.

But it doesn't have to come to that, because psychological counseling addresses precisely the above-mentioned problems by developing new problem-solving strategies and providing professional support for their implementation.

Psychological counseling gives you suggestions to better understand yourself and your social environment, to discover and develop your social and personal skills, to live in harmony with yourself and your environment again and, above all, to listen to your own needs again and implement them!
Counseling is always goal- and solution-oriented. It provides professional support in reducing existing problems, stresses and strains in your private, partner, family and work life. Through solution-oriented development of strategies for coping with problems, disorders and stress in all areas of life, it ultimately leads to stabilization, improvement and development of your quality of life.
The focus of life, discussion and conflict counseling is on career, partnership, family conflicts - including conflicts with children and adolescents, problems of children in parental relationships (separation, divorce, sexuality), life (dealing) with illness (psyche, soul) as well as life path counseling.
In contrast to friendly problem-solving discussions, psychological counseling is about objective, neutral and appreciative support in clarifying individual problems.
This is a psychological counseling activity outside the field of medicine. According to the Psychotherapists Act, this is therefore not subject to approval or supervision, as "the practice of psychotherapy does not include psychological activities aimed at dealing with and overcoming social conflicts or other purposes outside the practice of medicine" (PsychThG § 1 Berufsausübung, para. 3): This is psychological counseling to help overcome psychosocial problems in accordance with PsychThG § 1 Berufsausübung, para. 3, sentence 3.
