How to Contact the Psychological Student Counseling Service

If you are unable to keep an appointment, please cancel as soon as possible by sending an e-mail to psychberatung@rub.de – other people seeking advice will thank you.

You are taking part in a group or workshop or you have an appointment for a consultation? The Peer Quartier (address: Buscheyplatz 3, 44801 Bochum) is only a few minutes' walk from the Unicenter.

• Here you can find all directions (on foot, by public transport, by car)

Our advisors are obliged to maintain confidentiality. You can find out more about our understanding of counseling on our team page (German).

Due to the high demand, it may take some time before we can respond to your request.

If you urgently need help or someone to talk to in the meantime, self-help groups, hotlines, online services and many other points of contact offer advice and a sympathetic ear.
