Psychological counselling

As part of the PRISMA project (Promoting Individual and Social Resources in the Academic World), EDUCatt offers a Psychological Counselling service to students of Università Cattolica at the Milan, Brescia, Piacenza, and Rome campuses. The psychotherapists involved in the service provide support to students to help them understand and cope with personal, family, and academic issues. The main objective is to assist students in gaining insight into their problems. If a longer and more structured treatment is needed, the psychotherapist will refer the student to specialized facilities among public or private services in the area.

The counselling consists of up to 10 sessions, usually held weekly, on the day of the week when the therapist assigned to the student is scheduled to be present. Sessions are preferably held in person at a designated space on or near the campus. Online consultations are reserved only in exceptional cases for students who are unable to reach the university due to certified illness, disability, or other serious impediments.

The psychological counselling service is free and open to all students. It is specifically intended for those who are aware of genuine psychological distress and are motivated to address it. The care agreement outlines the goals, methods, and timing of the psychological counselling, ensuring a mutual, informed, and transparent commitment.

It is not advisable to begin counselling if you are certain that you will be unable to attend sessions for at least a month (e.g., upcoming study abroad, imminent withdrawal from studies, transfer to another university, etc.), or if you are currently undergoing another form of psychological or psychiatric treatment.

To schedule an appointment, send an email to the appropriate contact address for your campus listed below.
