Psychosocial Counselling for Women
We, as experienced social workers, offer support for women. We provide counseling for those affected by domestic or sexual violence, sexual abuse, digital violence, stalking, women facing social, financial, and family issues, and those affected by discrimination and hate speech.**
We are here for you in personal matters, during conflicts, and in difficult situations. In life transitions, during phases of reorientation, in unemployment, relationship problems, losses, and more...
We support you on your path. Together, we will work on solutions that suit you, step by step.
For a counseling session, please schedule an appointment unless you are in an acute emergency situation.

Open Consultation | ... when a woman needs someone to talk to
...when it is difficult
Sometimes they just appear—big life questions, everyday worries, emergencies, and crises. Sometimes problems become part of life, and solutions seem infinitely far away. Sometimes a stroke of fate comes out of the blue. Sometimes a woman simply needs someone to talk to... Talking can help.
But opening up to someone else isn’t always easy... That’s why we have the 'Open Consultation' at the Women's Center Erfurt. On Tuesdays from 3 PM to 5 PM, an experienced counselor is available for your concerns. She listens, asks questions, and provides support...
You don’t need to make an appointment and can remain anonymous. Just drop by at Pergamentergasse 36. Perhaps after this initial conversation, you’ll arrange another appointment. Maybe you’ll take the next steps on your own or find other contacts.
Either way... the open consultation allows you to take the first step.
'Open Consultation' on Tuesdays from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM - no prior appointment necessary
