Spazio Ascolto 
Counselling for Ca’ Foscari students

When to contact the service

How are you finding your university journey? Is there something troubling you? If you’re feeling particularly anxious about your studies or your relationships with others, if everything is beginning to feel overwhelming or you're lacking motivation, please get in touch with Spazio Ascolto, the “listening space”.

With the help of a psychologist, you will be able to identify the challenges you are facing and discover ways to move forward in a safe space where your privacy and confidentiality are honoured.
Seeking help is a sign of courage and a desire to gain a deeper understanding of yourself.

Please note that Spazio Ascolto is not an emergency service.
If you are facing an emergency, call 118 (for an ambulance) or go to the Pronto soccorso (Emergency Room) [ITA].

How to Access the Service

You can access the service by appointment and may attend up to three individual sessions. The service is also available to international students and can be provided in English.

When booking, you can specify whether you prefer to attend in person or online. In both formats, each session lasts for 45 minutes.
You may choose to attend your session(s) in person, either in Venice or Treviso, whichever is more convenient for you. Any follow-up sessions will take place at the same site to ensure continuity.

Note: we kindly ask that you cancel your appointment if you are unable to attend or no longer wish to, so that the slot can be made available to others students.

For Italian Sign Language interpreting services or any other accessibility needs, please contact:  inclusione@unive.it.
