Lisette Vendel
Certified Youth Coach & Direct WhatsApp Support
The casting you didn't get, and the question that followed you home. The rejection that felt more personal than it should have. The constant awareness of how you look, and whether that's ever going to feel like enough.
For young models at UUMN, Lisette is the person you bring those things to; by WhatsApp, whenever something is on your mind. No appointment, no threshold. Just someone who picks up.
Approach
Lisette: "I'm not here as a therapist. I'm here as someone you can talk to: about nerves before a casting, something that felt off on set, or the pressure you're carrying that you haven't told anyone about yet. The earlier you share something, the faster you find your footing again."
Background
Over twenty years working in GGZ with adolescent girls and young women - through uncertainty, performance pressure, body image and the need for validation from others. She knows how vulnerable self-image can be at this age, and how much influence appearance and comparison can have. That understanding is what she brings to UUMN.
For models who need more support, Lisette connects you to the right professionals within UUMN's network.
