In April 2001, my counselling practice in Mannheim moved to T 2/12. This street is located in the Mannheim city close to the Breite Straße and only one block from the Herschelbad (an Art Nouveau building with indoor swimming pool and sauna).
The practice can be reached without problem with local transport, by foot or by car (car parks Collini-Center, market place, MVV building). 

Despite its central location in the lively city, the group room offers a calm and concentration-promoting atmosphere, where regular group and team supervisions for clients take place who prefer not to have their counselling performed at their place of work. 

          

Groups and individual clients spending several hours or whole days here may spend their rests in the small, comfortable tea-kitchen anytime (also to make tea!) and may use the seating corner in the office to relax. 
In summer, the small garden behind the building offers a protected space for work in small groups or for relaxing during the rests.
