The Psychological Counseling Team and Academic Advising Service have listed useful advice and resources for your time at home [3], including a chapter with practical information for international students and guest auditors.

You also have the opportunity to contact the Student Services’ Psychological-Psychotherapeutic Counseling Service or in urgent cases call the Berlin Crisis Service (Berliner Krisendienst). [4]

The TU’s psychological counseling supports students with personal stress and crises and with all questions and problems that could have an effect on their studies. Problems that bring students to us include, for example,

• Stress and feelings of being overwhelmed
• Fear of exams
• Writing blocks, learning problems, and procrastination
• Difficulties getting oriented, motivated, or making decisions
• Difficulties making contacts or building relationships
• Self-esteem problems, phobias, anxiety, and depression
• Psychosomatic problems
• Specific problems for international students (culture shock, worry or fear for relatives in crisis regions, etc.)
• Conflicts in group work

The Psychological Counseling Service includes individual counseling sessions, seminars, and workshops. The counseling is free of charge. For international students, counseling in English is also offered.

Our team is made up of five Diplom-psychologists. All our counseling services are strictly confidential. Your concerns will also be treated confidentially.

If you are in or are facing an acute crisis situation, please note our emergency plan [5].
