What do we mean by Intercultural Relations?
Intercultural relations refer to the bond among people from different cultural backgrounds, who come into contact to satisfy physical, social or emotional needs.
Counselling for and with international students
As Counsellors when we work with and for international students, we need to consider the complex and distinct aspects that make them a unique population.
Relationships between narcissistic and empathic individuals
Individuals with striking narcissistic traits often tend to relate to empathic people, because they understand them and they know how to put themselves in their shoes.
HOPE and Counselling
Hope is a feeling or desire for a particular thing to happen. It can be internalised in one’s existence as an emotion, as an action, or it can be objectified as just being out there, keeping us company.
Counselling with Academic Orientation
In Italy, when we talk about University Counselling, we often identify it with Academic Orientation. However, Orientation is more about ‘Tutoring’, ‘Mentoring’ and ‘Advising’ rather than ‘Counselling’.
The ‘freeze’ response to stress
Stress is a difficult emotion and we have our own ways to deal with it. One of them is the FREEZE response, a paralysing reaction when we are faced with a situation that we perceive as very dangerous.
