Counseling and pastoral care in Zell am See
You are in safe hands!
Some life situations push people to their personal limits. Ongoing stress, relationship conflicts, addiction problems, or major changes can make everyday life difficult to manage. At times like these, a personal and confidential conversation can help to sort out thoughts, develop new perspectives, and identify the next steps.
Since July 2007, Grünes Kreuz has offered a dedicated counseling and pastoral care service. These conversations are for people who are looking for support, guidance, or someone to talk to in a stressful life situation.

Confidential support in difficult life situations
The focus of the counseling is the person—their personal story, their questions, and their current challenges. In a protected setting, difficult topics can be addressed openly and explored together.
The aim is to reconnect with existing strengths, recognize personal options for action, and develop renewed confidence for the road ahead. The counseling is provided with appreciation, confidentiality, and respect for each person’s individual beliefs and life circumstances.
Our areas of counseling and pastoral care
Lifelong counseling
Ongoing counseling supports people who are going through a difficult phase of life or facing important decisions. Topics may include personal crises, feeling overwhelmed, changes in the family or work environment, and worries about one’s own future.
Counseling for relationship conflicts
Conflicts in a partnership, family, or personal environment can become very stressful. A conversation outside the usual environment can help to view the situation from a different perspective and develop possible next steps.
Addiction counseling
The counseling service is also aimed at people who are affected by an addiction themselves or who are worried about a relative. This includes, among other things, problems related to alcohol or drugs. Together, we discuss what support may be helpful in the respective situation.
Christian pastoral care
In pastoral care, personal life and faith questions can be discussed. For example, it may be about what faith, hope, and the relationship with God mean in one’s own life and how they can provide strength and guidance in difficult times.
Participation in a pastoral care conversation does not require any particular religious affiliation. Personal attitudes and beliefs are respected.

The counseling and pastoral care center is led by Gabriele Fernsebner. She completed a three-year training program at the IGNIS Academy for Christian Psychology in Kitzingen to become a Christian psychological counselor.
