We offer
Speaking about it is often the first step. That is why Stop-Stalking offers the people who stalk to share their suffering and find a way out of their stalking behaviour.
If you stalk, if you are being accused of stalking, or if you feel vulnerable:
- You can get in touch with us anonymously and without any obligation.
- We will listen to you without judgement and check, if there is a basis for a longterm counseling.
- If you have experienced personal offences or feel misunderstood, we will treat you with respect.
- The goal of the counseling is to find out what made you start to stalk someone and what you need in order to achieve a fulfilled, self determined life without stalking.

We also counsel relatives and friends and professionals dealing with stalking.
The first contact:
- By telephone or via e-mail
- For the first session we fix an appointment. During the session we clarify your concern and your current situation.
- We listen to you and examine if you need long-term counseling or if an information conversation will suffice.
- For a longterm counseling we sign a counseling agreement and define the sub-goals. We discuss the first steps and offer you assistance on the way to desisting stalking.
- At your request we recommend further help at other institutions.
We do not offer legal counseling. We preserve confidentiality according to § 203 of the German Criminal Code. That means that the information entrusted to us will not be shared with anyone else without your consent. Our service is free of charge.
