Psychological Counseling
High demands at work and in one’s private life often lead to conflicts and stress, which cannot be solved independently. We advise you on:
-
Lethargy and symptoms of depression
-
Self-doubt, fear
-
Addictions, risky/harmful use*
-
Stress and inability to recover
-
Being overworked or not challenged enough
-
Conflicts and bullying at work
-
Uncertainties in dealing with (mentally) ill colleagues
…as well as other professional and private issues that may pose a problem
The psychological counseling is carried out by the psychologists of the Occupational Health Service, who are subject to confidentiality! Our counseling services are open to all TU Dresden employees in technology, administration and science (without university medicine). No matter whether you have a temporary or permanent position, are an apprentice, an employee or a civil servant at TU Dresden – we are there for you!
Employees of university medicine (university hospital and medical faculty) are kindly requested to contact the Occupational Health and Safety department of the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus.

Goals of the Counseling:
The aim of our counseling is to support you in structuring your current situation in order to better understand it, to view it from a different perspective, to examine alternative paths and, in doing so, develop your own solutions. If necessary, we will also inform about further support offers and points of contact.
