What is educational coaching? And would it be something for me?
Studying is full of challenges! The development framework is broad and the coaching occasions are varied. In one-to-one sessions, you have the opportunity to explore topics such as motivation, procrastination, self-concept and resources based on your concerns and to gain new perspectives for action. This coaching concept is aimed at all levels between the extremes of dropping out and self-optimization. The boundary lies in the differentiation from psychotherapy. Pathological patterns must be treated by psychologists and psychotherapists. If a coaching session does not help you, the coach can recommend other counseling centers at the university or put you in touch with them.
How does educational coaching work?
After an introductory meeting, during which the first exercises can perhaps be tried out, the educational coaching starts with one to three 45-minute sessions. It is not really possible to make a general statement about the process, as it depends entirely on the individual concerns. Basically, the educational coach wants to support you in finding a solution and uses various methods to encourage you to think and act. If an exercise does not work for you or as soon as it becomes uncomfortable, you change the strategy with the coach. Coaching usually takes place in the Bildungscoach's office at Kurt-Wolters-Straße 5.
