Psychologists
Emergency Contact It’s quite normal to see a psychologist You can definitely tackle procrastination You don't have to be ashamed to ask for help What can you expect from a student psychologist? Besides courses and workshops, TU Delft psychologists also offer short-term, individual counselling. In principle, short-term counselling consists of a maximum of three sessions. During the intake we look at what the student or PhD is struggling with, how this came about and what he or she wants to work on. Then, together with the PhD or student, a plan is drawn up for the follow-up sessions. Sometimes it turns out during the intake that the student or PhD needs long-term guidance or a different specialisation than we can offer at the student psychologists. Then we refer the PhD or student to the general practitioner for a referral to a psychologist outside the TU Delft. Students and PhDs often hope for a quick solution to their problem. Although we would like to achieve this, this is generally not a realistic expectation. Discussions can increase understanding and start a development process. Everyone is different and has different needs. Should it turn out after 1 or 2 sessions that the student does not experience a good click with the psychologist in question, this can be indicated and we will see whether it is possible to continue the counselling with another psychologist. We expect PhDs and students to take responsibility for filling in the application form on our website completely and truthfully. If you have confirmed an appointment but cannot attend due to illness or other circumstances, please let us know 24 hours in advance. The sooner we know that you cannot attend the session, the more likely we are to be able to help another student during that time. If you do not cancel in time or do not show up, we will charge €10 as a no-show fee. Psychologists Walk-in hours 1-on-1 Consultation Workshops Referring a student or doctoral candidate?

Workshops Workshop Coping with Fear of Failure 2 meetings, English Perfectionism and negative self-sabotaging thoughts are very common and cause stress, anxiety (fear of failing or fear of success) and a lack of self-esteem.

During this training you will gain insights in the underlying mechanism of fear of failing, fear of success and perfectionism. You learn a cognitive behavioural technique (CBT) as a way to stop the negative spiral and change it into a more balanced mind-set, and therefore enhance your coping strategies.
