Being a doctoral student is a time of transition between academic career, a new scientitic project, or starting a job outside academia. This transition confronts doctoral students with diffent and new expectations, new challenges and structures. Sometimes these transitions come with various problems and crises that confront doctoral students with their professional identity, job challenges or personal and family problems.

Symptoms can be:

- Working and writing blocks
- Fear and stress symptoms before starting a career
- Problems concerning a change of professional role from student to teacher
- Psychological problems: depression, fear, burn-out

Our initiatives support your efforts in (re)gaining job satisfaction and developing an ability to meet challenges in order to work creatively and therefore sucessfully.

When suffering a work-related crises, we offer prompt, non-buerocratic, drop-in service and professional counselling. We have experienced that this is the best way to prevent continuation or escalation of conflicts and/or problems. When it becomes clear in the process of counseling that professional medical support is needed, we offer contact to various local therapists.

Information and counseling takes place in face-to-face interviews that are bound to professional discretion.

Please make a personal appointement in our office or drop in. You will receive a formula and will get an interview date within the next 14 days at the latest.
