Psychological Counseling
While a university education offers many chances and opportunities, for students it is also a very demanding stage of life that often brings with it major changes and stress. Sometimes the situation can simply become overwhelming as problems grow and appear impossible to handle. Confidential discussions led by professional counselors can help open up new perspectives and develop productive approaches to personal challenges.
The current situation poses new challenges for all of us and often leads to feelings of stress, helplessness or loneliness. Here you will find a selection of general counselling facilities in Munich that specialise in psychological crisis situations. In urgent cases, please do not hesitate to contact experienced experts who can help you with an open ear, clarify your individual situation and, if necessary, initiate further support measures.
