Female student talking to a life coach

Student Life Coach

In a Heart-to-Heart conversation, you can talk to a professional life coach about challenging situations in your life. Loneliness, relationships (love, friends, family), motivation, health, making choices, or questions about your future. Nothing is taboo.

Talk about it. It helps!

A good conversation with a good listener may just take a load off your mind. Don't hesitate to contact us

How? Send an e-mail to one of the coaches and ask for a Heart-to-Heart.

  • Talks can be in Dutch or English
  • Not all coaches can meet face to face.  
  • After receiving your e-mail the coach will contact you for an appointment.
  • Duration 45-60 minutes / max. 3 appointments
  • The first 3 appointments are free of charge. However, if you are in need of extra appointments you can discuss this with the coach. Please note these sessions will be at your own expense.

Navigating through chaos, finding a common thread, making good decisions … it can be challenging. I'm here to lend a hand with that.

Let's explore what really matters to you - your values, your relationships. Even just having a chat is fine, as it can help you regain your energy and get you back on track.

Experiences of loss and grief are part of life, but they can have a great impact.

Grief has many faces: you can mourn after the death of a loved one, a break-up, illness, or loss of future perspective. Giving space to your feelings and sharing with someone who really listens helps.

My coaching style is warm and involved, inclusive and safe.

I am fascinated by the brain. Its power, resourcefulness and, perhaps most of all, ability to create. Added to this the fact that you can reframe brain patterns makes the process of our thinking and doing very interesting.

I am committed to helping people discover what works best for them.

Feel free to arrange a phone call or online meeting if you want to just share or explore how you could do things differently.

So much is happening in the world these days. There's climate change, wars, and just thinking about your future can be a lot to handle.

It brings up lots of questions, feelings, and challenges that might feel like too much sometimes.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just have big questions about life, I'm here to help you deal with it.

Inevitably, we encounter difficult moments in our lives which can make us feel lost, stressed, anxious or heavy-hearted.

In our conversation, you can turn your attention towards it and give it the space it deserves. We can explore how you can get the tools to regain your resilience and carry on with more energy and acceptance.

My specific expertise is in grief, and I have training in Zen meditation and Buddhist psychology.

'Committed, clear and calm', are the key words from the feedback from students.

When you are experiencing feelings like loneliness, homesickness, educational struggle, a loss or breakup, we can ask ourselves the right questions without striving for a concrete answer.

As a life coach, I aim to offer a space where you can share your current difficulties, fostering perspective and compassion. This space encourages reflection on the challenging aspects of your life. I work in English (for Dutch and international students) and in Spanish.
