WHAT IS GROUP COUNSELLING?
Group counselling is a short-term professional intervention aimed at all students who wish to:
- Improve personal wellbeing and quality of life
- Facilitate change processes
- Strengthen their development paths
- Enhance their resources
- To improve the relationship with the surrounding environment and to strengthen the relationship within the group of students.
Taking part in a group counselling session is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth and development.
WHO IS THE COUNSELLOR?
The counsellor is the professional who, through the technique of active listening and with the support of targeted techniques and materials, will help students discover their own resources, facilitate the overcoming of any transitional crises and promote individual growth and well-being. The discussion of issues, reflection and participation in group activities will also promote socialisation among students, helping them to feel less alone in their academic journey.
In the group context, the counsellor works on individual behavioural patterns and relational dynamics within the group as well as in relation to the outside world.
To whom is this service directed at?
Participation in groups is open to all students enrolled at the University of Brescia and is completely free.
How? Where? When?
Each group will consist of a maximum of 10-12 students, plus the counselor.
The meetings for each group will be 3, on a fortnightly basis, lasting 90 minutes each.
Time and place for the meetings will be set according to the needs of each individual group.

Which is the group for you?
This group is for students who are finishing their studies (but also to those who want to "move forward") and who, sharing expectations, enthusiasm, but also fears about future prospects, can develop a proactive approach towards the job market.
The goal of this group is to discover the students’ assets and to help them deal with the changes to come in their lives!
This group is for those who, for various reasons, have not been able to finish the course on schedule. Comparing points of views and experiences with other students, who find themselves in similar circumstances, sharing emotions, struggles, and perplexities can help the students find a renewed strength and determination, to make the most of their personal skills.
The goal of this group is transforming a seatback into an opportunity for change!
This group is for students enrolled in the course of Medicine and Surgery, who are going to face, or are facing, a period of internship in hospital wards. “Will I be able to deal with the patient, the disease, the suffering? What is expect of me? What do I expect from the patients?" These are all understandable questions and doubts, which, if shared with the group, could help students to face the internship in a more relaxed way.
The goal of this group is to gain confidence in your own capability as a doctor!
Coming soon...
This group is aimed at students who are enrolled in a course of study that requires them to complete an internship during their university career.
Starting an internship is exciting because it brings you closer to the world of work, but at the same time it can be scary and cause anxiety and doubt because it requires you to face new contexts, new relationships and new experiences.
This group is designed to help students live this experience better and make it positive.
The goal of this group is to learn to get involved by being aware of one's strengths as well as one's limitations!
The proposal is a review of 5 sessions of Morenian psychodrama in which a team of psychologists, experts in active methods, will accompany you on a multi-sensory journey of emotional exploration and encounter with the other, with the aim of rediscovering the pleasure of going beyond rationality with the help of the group.
The group will help you in this process as an agent of change.
LOCATION
Meetings are held at the University Residence, Via Valotti 3/b, Brescia.
