External Services

We are happy to help you find the right support or a place to go for help as part of our counselling process. If you are interested in psychological psychotherapy before or independently of our psychosocial counselling, you can find all the important information about the pathways to psychotherapy at https://www.wege-zur-psychotherapie.org/.

This information is also summarised in the following brochure for download.

There is a separate counselling service for students: 

Exam anxiety, self-esteem problems or a relationship crisis during your time at university?
The Psychotherapeutic Counselling Centre (PBS) of the Studierendenwerk won't leave you alone:  

The PBS counselling service is open to all students in the university regions of Karlsruhe and Pforzheim.
It is also available for partners, fellow students, relatives and lecturers who are worried about a student and want to help. 

The counselling service is free of charge and is bound by legal confidentiality and data protection. 

Appointments can only be made in person or by telephone. Please check the office hours.
