Psychosocial counselling

Psychosocial counselling covers all issues that lead to people losing their psychosocial balance. This also includes the effects triggered by difficult life situations, psychological stress or social problems. The focus of the counselling or attention is systematically on what has proven successful in the past and what is currently working well. Psychosocial counselling combines psychological and systemic approaches and is available to employees and students.
