Counselling

Refugee Sisters* accompanies people before, during and after the asylum process.

Counseling at Refugee Sisters* is free of charge. Counseling is confidential and can be anonymous if desired.

Individual counseling takes place in a safer* space with a queer psychologist. Counselling in English, German, Spanish and French is always available, for additional languages LGBTQI* community translators can be arranged.

The duration of counselling is individual and is based on the wishes and needs of each client.
