Advisory services at FAU
Counseling service of Student Services Erlangen-Nürnberg (Psychologisch-psychotherapeutische Beratungsstelle des Studierendenwerks Erlangen-Nürnberg)
The multi-professional advisory team from the counseling service of Student Services Erlangen-Nürnberg offers all enrolled students psychological counseling and psychotherapy in individual sessions, with partners and family members, and in therapy groups at various locations.
Students can contact the service with a wide range of concerns. The service can help students who feel burdened by problems that they or people close to them are experiencing, such as difficulties with their studies or with examinations, social anxiety, problems with partners or parents, sexual problems, depression, hopelessness, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, guilt or psychosomatic complaints.
A negligible contribution is charged for the consultations (10 euros for individual consultations and 15 euros for consultations with partners or family members), but this can be waived for students in a precarious financial situation.
You can arrange an appointment with us or contact one of our members of staff in one of our drop-in consultation sessions (without any obligation, and with no need to register in advance or tell us your name). Further information on arranging appointments and our drop-in consultation sessions is available under each of our locations (see below).
Further information on our locations, telephone numbers and points of contact are available on the following websites:
