What does it offer?

The CUORI Centre offers free services and with respect for privacy. In particular:

 

 

Psychological counselling

Individual and group meetings are available to address a range of issues, such as difficulties in relationships, low self-esteem, crisis situations, widespread anxiety or panic attacks, and other issues that may manifest with physical or mental symptoms like disturbing thoughts, restlessness, and bodily signs. These meetings can be conducted either in person or via video call.

The conversations can also be conducted in English.

Counselling to improve learning effectiveness

Training opportunities for problems with concentration and memorisation, performance anxiety, time and study rhythms management - to acquire an effective working method, to learn how to use one’s cognitive and emotional resources with respect to the study or assessment situation.

The meetings are held in Italian.

Reorientation

An accompanying path to assist students who are undecided about continuing their university career, or have difficulties related to study choices that are not adequate to their interests and motivations. The goal of the meetings is to be able to evaluate changes in one’s training process, also through tests and questionnaires, and take new paths, acquiring positive ways of choosing.

The meetings are held in Italian.

Group workshops and reading material on well-being and study

We offer workshops that include practical exercises to help you manage exam anxiety, improve your study skills, learn relaxation techniques, and integrate mind and body. You will also learn about your personal learning style and increase your self-esteem. Additionally, we provide self-help reading materials on well-being and studying.
