Frequent issues that require psychotherapeutic counseling are for instance:

  • Depressions

  • Conflicts in relationships, with relatives or other personal relationships
  • Difficulties to meet new people, a sense of loneliness, feeling isolated
  • Serious self-doubt and insecurity

Also in cases of mental problems, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, addictions, compulsions, traumatization, psychotherapeutic counseling may be used for purposes of self-evaluation, support or tiding yourself over.

You may also want to use psychotherapeutic counseling if you plan to start or resume your studies after a lengthy severe psychological disorder or mental illness.
