Your request for counseling

To request counseling, simply send an email to the contact person or arrange a counseling appointment by phone.

Data privacy and confidentiality

All information obtained during the counseling—including personal data—will be treated confidentially and will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent (cf. duty of confidentiality § 12 (4) sentence 1,3 LHG; there is no right to refuse to give evidence in court). You do not have to give your name at a counseling session; however, fully anonymous counseling is only possible by phone.

For hearing-impaired individuals seeking advice, we recommend submitting a request for counseling in sign language (in German) via the German government service.
