Report of academic experience from a team of graduate students in Psychology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) providing psychological assistance to other students at this university. The objective is to highlight the main issues of psychological suffering reported by the students assisted and to elucidate the importance of clinical listening in the academic field. The recurrent aspects that emerged during the consultations and were present in the discussion of cases during the supervisions with the mentor teacher were analysed. Of the total of 24 students attended, the main symptomatological complaints of the participants were anxiety crises, symptoms of depression and suicidal ideation. We sought to make a parallel between academic and emotional difficulties, and the subjective implication of UFRJ students. In addition, the issue of suicide was also highlighted as the greatest clinical challenge by trainees in care. It was found that psychological assistance for students within the academic space is of huge importance, for the provision of a careful listening is also a kind of integral reception.
