- If you have the feeling that your chosen course of study is not right for you,
- if you no longer want to or can no longer continue your studies for various reasons,
- if you simply have doubts about your current life situation,
then talk to me.
Together we can analyze your situation neutrally, talk about possible new perspectives and find solutions.
