Counselling and Coaching for Employees

Counselling and Coaching for Employees

Changes and challenges accompany us in our professional and private lives. Personal stress, conflicts or work-related problems can affect our mental health and job satisfaction. It can then be helpful to discuss and clarify our own thoughts and feelings with an external person in a protected environment. This can often open up new perspectives and solutions.

  • Are you dealing with a professional, private or health problem or a conflict?
  • Do you have a desire for further development and want to actively tackle it?
  • Do you feel an imbalance in your life or at your workplace?
  • Are you looking for solutions or decision-making options?

Counsellors Dr Astrid Beermann and Jutta Vaihinger offer you advice and coaching to help you deal with your issues. We focus on your concerns, your current situation and your social context. Together we look for new perspectives and possibilities. These should increase your own room for manoeuvre and thus bring about a noticeable improvement in your personal feelings and situation.

You have come to the right place with these and many other concerns:

  •  Mental stress in the workplace
  • Personally and/or family-related challenging situations
  • Conflicts with colleagues/employees/superiors/students
  • Decision-making issues with reorientation
  • Excessive demands, stress management, burnout and boreout prevention
  • Dealing with change and requests for personal development
  • Communication in the team, feedback and conflict culture
  • Your topic is not listed here? Feel free to contact us anyway.
       

The counselling and coaching services are aimed at all employees of the University of Oldenburg. It is available to you directly during working hours - without bureaucratic obstacles. We counsellors are bound to confidentiality and all concerns are treated in strict confidence.
Please feel free to contact us. We look forward to hear from you!
