I’m having a personal crisis!
Sometimes it’s all too much. When things get out of hand and nothing seems to improve your situation, then it’s time to get help. In a confidential meeting with a psychological counsellor, you can often gain new perspectives and identify potential solutions.
How can the ZSB help me?
The Student Advice and Counselling Centre (ZSB) offers free counselling and support to students and doctoral candidates at the University of Münster who are feeling overwhelmed by the current academic situation or have indirectly related problems which are adversely affecting their state of mind, quality of life and, by extension, their academic progress.
The services of the ZSB include:
- Introductory meeting and personal consultation for students at the University of Münster
- Accompanying support for students recovering from psychological illnesses [DE]
- Self-help groups [DE]
- Tutorial coaching following psychological illness [DE]
If you are facing an acute crisis, please contact the crisis emergency service of the city of Münster [DE].
Students of the Münster University of Applied Sciences can find further information here [DE].
The ZSB offers confidential consultation for students at the University of Münster who seek help after experiencing sexual discrimination, harassment or violence.
What other counselling centres in Münster can I contact for help with psychological problems?
I would like to get psychological therapy. But how do I go about finding a suitable therapist?
For information on obtaining therapy, contact the NRW Chamber of Psychotherapists [DE] or the Psychotherapist Network of Münster and Münsterland e.V. (PTN-Münster) [DE].
What if I’m worried about a fellow student?
