We are happy to advise you, whether alone or as a couple! The counseling sessions are free and confidential.
- building a bond with a child,
- accompanying their developmental steps,
- finding non-violent conflict solutions,
- coping with parenting tasks,
- recognising excessive demands
- and the particular challenges of parenting alone.
- How can we divide family and paid work fairly?
- What is the best long term financial solution?

Our counseling is specifically for women, confidential and free of charge.
We support you and your children if you have been impacted by physical, psychological or sexual violence.
In addition to counseling, we also offer process support. That means that we can accompany you to the police and a court appointment, as well as provide a lawyer.
