Coaching
"When you want to change something in your life..."
Do you ever think you want something different, but you just don't know how to do it yet? Coaching is a method of personal development that helps you get from where you are in your life to where you want to be through one-on-one sessions with a coach. Through structured questions and coaching techniques, the coach will help you to look at your situation from multiple perspectives and support you to find the best solution within yourself and implement it.

Who are we here for?
Students, graduates
What can I expect?
During the first non-committal meeting we will discuss your situation together, find out what you want to work on and what you would like to change. You will experience what coaching looks like, whether we fit together personally and how further cooperation will take place. If you decide to proceed, we will arrange further sessions to help you:
- realize exactly what you want differently and why,
- to make a decision and start a change,
- become aware of the familiar or discover new ways to achieve change,
- to step out and persevere on the chosen path.

Who is coaching for?
For all those who want to work on themselves, move forward and are not afraid to break out of the routine. Coaching in our Counseling and Career Centre is for UO students and graduates only.
Where and how does the coaching take place?
Coaching can take place via an online application or in a face-to-face meeting in the comfort of our consulting room.
These are one-on-one meetings where it's just you and the coach. The session takes the form of a dialogue/structured conversation in which you say only what you want and everything is under your control. One session lasts 60-120 minutes, depending on the client's needs. The number of meetings and their frequency varies - according to the mutual agreement of the coach and the client.

Who's the coach? What can I expect from them?
A coach doesn't tell you what to do, but helps you become aware of and realise your own potential in the context of your lifestyle and your personality. A good coach does not tell you what is right or wrong, but asks what is important to you, helps you to explore and become aware of your own goals, needs, limits, possibilities.
A coach is not a counsellor, mentor or therapist. A coach doesn't tell you what to do and doesn't give you ready-made advice. Using selected techniques, they will guide you so that you can find your own answers and the way to deal with various life situations. Because the only expert on your life is you.

What's it gonna cost me?
Some of that time, willingness to find solutions and motivation to work on yourself. Coaching is free for UO students and graduates.
