What's on offer?
Wellbeing Workout sessions are one-off sessions, 45 – 90 minutes, with a focus on building psychological wellbeing skills to help you navigate life at LSE. It’s also a chance to meet other people in safe space and share your experiences and tips. You are welcome to sign up to as many as you like.
Groups provide a more in-depth focus on emotional wellbeing in a supportive and confidential environment. Some (but not all) groups are “closed” which means that they run over 3 consecutive weeks and we ask you to sign up for all 3 weeks. Groups will either be online, or in-person.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via student.counselling@lse.ac.uk. We look forward to seeing you!
