Psychological Counselling / Open Door

Serious worries and problems, stress in everyday student life, at work or in one’s private life, a personal crisis or simply unanswered questions can make day-to-day life complicated and difficult for students and staff at the ABK Stuttgart. We are committed to helping wherever support is needed. To help find solutions and prevent long-term and serious problems from arising, we provide competent and professional counsellors with whom you can have confidential consultations. If required, further counselling services are offered by the Studierendenwerk Stuttgart or through the ABKS’s expert systemic counsellor. All counselling sessions are strictly anonymous and confidential.
