agisra Köln offers psychosocial counseling and support for all migrant and refugee women regardless of social and ethnic origin, religion, age, sexual orientation and residence status.

• The transcultural composition of the agisra team ensures that cultural and migration-specific issues are included in the consulatation.
• Counseling is done in the client’s native language, with the help of an interpreter if necessary.
• This cross-cultural approach to counseling is complimented by our feminist approach: we are guided by the views, needs, and strengths of women. The aim of the consultations is to inform the women about their rights, to strengthen them emotionally, and to assist them in decision-making and in the development of new perspectives.

We offer free, anonymous counseling on a voluntary basis.

One of our colleagues here offers individual, couple, and family therapy from a transcultural, feminist, systematic approach. This therapy is offered in German and Korean, and in other languages with the help of interpreters.

 

 

To date, our team speaks the following languages. For all other languages, we would happily welcome a translator!
