The counseling is offered for free, anonymously, without registration and in several languages. Please check our office hours for the different languages and federal states.

You can easily ask your questions in the online chat during our office hours. You can find the office hours under Counselors on our website.

Your question will be sent to our advisors. They will answer you as soon as possible.

If many people want to use the service, there may be a waiting time. You will be informed in the chat how many people are waiting in the queue.

Depending on how many people want to use the counseling service, it may take a little longer. We would like to take our time for you. Counseling can sometimes take 45 minutes per person.
