Let's talk
Let's talk with a coach
In a bright conversation, you can talk to an experienced facilitator about life situations that are currently playing out or that are difficult or challenging for you. These can include (love) relationships, motivation problems, being sick, loss, loneliness, friendship, family, living, making choices, questions about the future. We explore what is going on in you and look for what is beneficial for you in this situation. Sometimes that is just discussing your concerns with someone who is a good listener. Other times it is about giving meaning, giving the experiences a place.
Being outside can calm and relax your mind and give new inspiration. Walking in nature often gives you a different perspective on your thoughts, situations and problems. While walking with a coach, you will explore a topic that’s on your mind. Maybe you have a specific question you want to explore, or maybe you just want to reflect upon how you are doing in your daily life. The coach will invite you to slow down and become more aware of what really matters to you in the present moment.
Do you find it hard to stay productive and motivate yourself in your studies? Do you find it hard to give your opinion in your work? Or do you want to explore your options to experience less stress?Our coaches would love to support you. The OCC is the first online coaching center for everyone who wants to work together with a peer-coach, and pay attention to growth and development.

What is the 'WachtVerzachter'?
The 'WachtVerzachter' is a solution for people who are waiting for psychological help. Due to the long waiting lists, psychological help often takes too long, thus increasing the chance that the situation will only worsen. The WachtVerzachter ensures that you can already work on your recovery while waiting.
Not just for people on a waiting list
The 'WachtVerzachter' is not just for people on a waiting list. We would also like to support you after your treatment. You are also very welcome if you regularly feel anxious, suffer from gloomy thoughts and if you notice that this affects your daily life.
For whom?
Are you between the ages of 18 and 25? Please contact the WachtVerzachter via info@wachtverzachter.nu or 088-7878857.
