New offer from the pilot project Motherhood and Science: Systemic counseling
-
Are you a mother and a student and feel torn between the two roles? Are you thinking about a career in science and considering whether you want to have or are allowed to have children? Do studying with child(ren) always present you with challenges? Being a parent and a scientist has intensified your conflicts and created new ones?
As part of the pilot project Motherhood and Science (FEM POWER Vision), I offer systemic counseling as a space to look at where conflicts repeatedly arise in everyday life and where there is a lack of time and focus for clarification.
Systemic counseling is:
- an effective method for tackling problems and challenges in various areas of life, strengthening relationships and developing new perspectives,
- individual counseling and support,
- for students, employees and academics,
- Individual and couples counseling,
- free of charge.
- Counseling sessions can take place both online and in person.
About me: I am Dr. Sarah Czerney, media and cultural scientist, systemic consultant (in further training, DGSF) and co-founder of the nationwide network Motherhood and Science. At KGC, I coordinate the pilot project Motherhood and Science in the FEM POWER Vision project. As part of this project, I offer systemic counseling to support mothers and people dealing with motherhood in science.
