We support you with a solution-focused and resource-oriented counselling approach.
Our counselling services are based on considerations of systemic counselling in general and solution-oriented approaches in particular. These approaches are strongly resource-orientated methods that assume that clients have the knowledge and possible solutions to overcome problems within themselves. It is therefore about looking for what is already working and what potential you bring with you.
In the process, the counsellor takes responsibility for the structure to draw attention to resources. This type of counselling has proven to be very effective in the field of education. The effectiveness of solution-focused methods has been demonstrated, particularly for students, through international effectiveness studies.
The counselling formats of the psychological counselling services are based on the concepts of relationality, creativity and reflexivity.
Counselling is about relationships in two respects. An appreciative dialogue creates a counselling relationship between you and a psychological counsellor. In addition, we always understand issues embedded in a system of actors and contexts. This means that situations only become problematic when tensions arise in a certain relationship environment. The counselling process therefore focuses on questioning the quality and nature of existing relationships and searching for previously unnoticed relationship opportunities.
Creative methods in the counselling process enable a change of perspective, which allows new access to existing resources and helps to expand the existing scope.
Counselling is understood as a reflexive process, which means that concerns, goals, the context and the counselling process itself are reflected . In this sense, reflexivity is also understood as an emancipatory process that uses a questioning attitude to examine the meaningfulness of fundamental assumptions and thus expands the scope of possibilities.
