Life Coaching at Tint
Why life coaching?
Sometimes it can be a relief to talk with someone about what’s on your mind. If there is anything you’re struggling with, you’re welcome at TINT for a private conversation. It can be about anything: making choices, troubled relationships, study motivation, loss, faith, spirituality... All students are welcome, no matter what background or view on life you have. Talking with a life coach at TINT can help you to structure your thoughts and to find your own answers to your questions. Everything you share in the life coaching sessions will be kept confidentially.

Margit van Tuijl
Life coach
As I was at the age of 16 I started asking questions like: What’s the meaning of my life? Why am I here? How can I live a happy life? Because of this passion for life questions I decided to study theology and follow courses in philosophy, psychology and spiritual care in Amsterdam, Heidelberg and Leiden. Since 2007 I’ve coached many people on topics like: dealing with changes, making choices, developing relationships, facing illness and death, discovering purpose in life and finding sources of inspiration, spirituality or religion. To guide people on their life path is a great source of inspiration to me!
In 2013 I moved to Eindhoven to start working at TINT as a life coach for students. I love to help young people coming from all over the world to find their own sources of inspiration and happiness in life. So if you’re struggling with personal issues and you feel like talking about it with someone in confidence, you’re welcome to contact me. I can coach you in Dutch, English or German.

Life coach
Glad to be back at TU/e! It has been 20 years since I studied Mechanical Engineering and Innovation Studies at TU/e. I even did my PhD and a post-doc project here ...
And now I’m back, after quite a journey: I worked in several organizations (youth care, elderly home, university), completed a Master in Religious Studies and specialized in ‘geestelijke begeleiding’ (spiritual counseling). And on top of that, I lived with my family 7 years abroad as expat: in Brunei and Oman. Over those past 20 years I have coached many students, colleagues and others on small and large questions about career and life.
After all of this, I feel working at TINT is the perfect fit for me: back to my roots, open to talk about whatever you want! As a life coach I accompany you on a small part of your life path: I think nothing is too strange to talk about. Telling me your story makes you hear the story in another way, which helps more or in a different way than we both may expect. And of course: what you tell me stays with me.
We can meet face to face at TU/e, go for a walk, or meet via Teams. I can coach you in Dutch and English. In German, I can understand you perfectly, but I’ll talk back in English. I coached a few students that way, and that worked well!
Feel free to contact me, your story -big or small- matters!

“Marja listened without judgement. No question, answer, story, or statement is wrong (or right). It is just as it is. This not only made me feel like I’m not crazy, but also that I am free to say things. With that, I admire the way Marja listens to all my tangled up stories, manages to unravel them, to get to the essence together.”

'It was nice to talk with someone outside my own network. My friends usually have the tendency to give me the advice that I want to hear to comfort me. A life coach has more distance and can reflect on my problems in a sharper way. I learned a lot from this coaching.'

‘I feel like the life coaching helped me to remember things I had forgotten, especially things that made me happy. In a busy life, it is easy to lose control of what’s important or to lose things that make you feel good from within. Talking to a person about remembering the importance in my life and what path I want to follow gave some structure to my mind. We did some techniques that helped to seek happiness and direction. Those techniques definitely can be of help for the future too. Overall, I think the life coaching is a good program for students that are struggling, and gives peace to the ones that have too much on their plate. I think you do a good job and transmit peace when having a conversation.’
