As a center for life counselling, we offer support for every woman. We provide counselling on various topics ranging from everyday problems to life crises and general life issues.

Our counselling is confidential and free of charge.
Appointments are possible in the morning and afternoon and can be arranged at short notice.

This service is directed to all women and girls, regardless of:

• ethnic origin
• financial situation
• sexual orientation
• biological sex
• religion

We work in a multi-professional team and are committed to improving the quality of life for women. We advocate for their private, professional and social equality. We contribute our professional experience and expertise to municipal and district-wide expert committees to improve the situation of women in the Rhein-Erft-Kreis.
The aim of our work is to support women individually, to use their own strengths and to develop solutions.

The principles of our counselling are voluntariness, partisanship and appreciation.
