PhD Support Group

Doing a PhD can be rewarding, but challenges such as stress, self-doubt and work-life balance can affect your wellbeing. The PhD Support Group offers a safe, confidential space for PhD researchers to share experiences, discuss challenges and support each other. The group is facilitated by two psychological counsellors, who tailor the sessions to your needs and concerns. The programme consists of five weekly 90-minute sessions held every Wednesday from 12 p.m. to 1.30 p.m. at Stadscampus, starting on 6 January. Participants are expected to commit to attending all five sessions. Registration is free.
