Coaching
Why coaching?
Everyone encounters challenges in their student life. A lack of motivation, sticking with a planning, procrastination, stress and worrying are among the most common obstacles. My mission is to support you in overcoming personal challenges by sharing relevant tools from psychology with you. As a coach I help you set goals and take concrete steps towards reaching them.

Central themes in coaching
Maybe you already know which changes you want to make and you need someone to support or structure your progress. Or perhaps you feel that you want to make a change, but you’re not sure what that would look like. I’m here for you in both cases. These are the central themes that I work with:
Balance
Balance comes in many forms: work-life, giving-taking, serious-fun. Let's explore with where your challenges lie when finding balance and how you could draw upon your existing strengths to improve on this. Related topics are setting boundaries, energy management and assertivenes.
Values
Values are personal "chosen life directions". They clarify not just what you do (as goals do), but how you want to do it. Both within your studies and outside of it. Identifying values helps you stay true to yourself and provides confidence & trust in yourself. Related topics are life roles, goals, and authenticity.
Strengths
Strengths are a great, energizing and fun topic. Everyone has a unique constellation of strengths and I've never met anybody who has no strengths at all. Getting clear on your strengths can pave the way for selecting a career and allow you to make progress toward personal goals faster. A related topic is self-esteem.
Practical side of studying
How do you create a realistic studying schedule before an exam? How do you find motivation and end procrastination? What are good studying techniques? Let's explore your challenges in studying and help you overcome them by using elements from the other three domains: balance, strengths and values. Related topics are personality and decision-making.

Working experience
Daylight Coaching was founded on January 1st, 2020. Prior to that I started coaching voluntarily at the university of Groningen in 2019. I also coach students at Wake Up Student Psychology & Coaching which I have been happily doing since April 2020. In September 2021 I joined forces with Psyned, one of the largest organizations that provides mental health care all over the Netherlands and has helped over a million people.
