Accessibility

The PSB staff can be contacted by telephone (cell phone and/or landline), by email and in person during the PSB's opening hours. Appointments are made by appointment in person or by telephone on special request.

Imagine you have a problem...and someone helps you!

The Psychosocial Counselling Centre offers students with study-related or personal problems professional help. Do not hesitate to make use of our counseling service!

We offer you

  • coaching
  • crisis intervention
  • Conflict counseling
  • Psychological counseling
  • Social counseling

Counseling is strictly confidential and individual. It goes without saying that confidentiality is observed.
All our services are free of charge.

 

How does the advice center help?

The Hochschule Niederrhein's PSB is an institution that is open to all students from all faculties. The counseling center is based on an integrated concept of psychological and social counseling and is available throughout the course of studies.

Initial appointments are made by appointment. There is sufficient time to describe your personal concerns in detail and to find out about the PSB and other services. Together with the students, we then consider what kind of support may be helpful. In particular, we offer individual counseling or - if necessary - refer them to other support services. The duration of individual counseling is agreed on an individual basis. It is not uncommon for just one counseling session to help you see your own path more clearly or develop strategies for solving upcoming problems. This service is voluntary and free of charge and is, of course, subject to a duty of confidentiality

Making an appointment

By telephone:

E-mail: psychosocial.beratungsstelle(at)hs-niederrhein.de
or by personal appointment

As we do not answer the telephone during an ongoing counseling session, you are also welcome to send us an e-mail.
It is helpful if you indicate at which location, on which days and possibly in which time slots you can make an appointment when making an inquiry. It is not necessary to explain your personal concerns when contacting us.
We also offer appointments outside opening hours by individual arrangement.

Our services for you!

Nowadays, those who decide to pursue studies are confronted with high performance requirements and unfavourable conditions, whereby an optimum of organization and resilience is required.

The aim of psychosocial counseling is to learn how to deal constructively with high demands and personal crises, both now and in the future. After all, in addition to a prompt and successful degree, you should also enjoy the good things about your studies!

Counseling is based on the concept of "helping people to help themselves". This means that we work with you to analyze the context and causes, develop new problem-solving strategies and find individual solutions.

When does it make sense to seek advice?

So if you have questions or difficulties in your studies or everyday life, if you are looking for personal development through coaching or mental training, if you simply need to talk or if you have an unclear concern, the counseling center is the right place for you.

Our counseling is a service to be used as a matter of course and does not presuppose any self-definition as ill or deficient. The aim of psychosocial counseling is for students to acquire problem-solving skills in order to deal appropriately with personal crises and high demands, both now and in the future. Because if you want to study successfully and happily, you can achieve this. We from the Counseling Center team will be happy to help you with this.
