This paper presents a methodological proposal for psychological support in Higher Education, developed through face-to-face conversation circles and workshops held in a virtual environment, aimed at students who present some degree of suffering that may culminate in mental health issues and the subsequent evasion in this level of education in Brazil context. This research aims to describe the methodological procedures and evaluate their results, considering the adherence, the type of participation in the different stages proposed and the evaluation of one of the participants, in individual, face-to-face interviews. It was found that the presential phase of the research represented a difficulty for students who were interested in participating but did not adhere to the proposal. In the virtual phase, it is evident that writing, for some students, may represent a possible way for feelings and thoughts to be expressed intensely, also promoting the exchange between participants and the consequent collective benefit or growth.
