Life Coaching at Tint

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.

• Empowerment: The power to be who you are
• Meaning in life!
• Questions from students about love

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!

At a very early age, I naturally found out about the magic of listening to others and supporting them through their rough times. Luckily enough, life granted me so many opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery as well.

I have studied economics, been an aupair, and worked in corporate life for 5 years. Then I followed my passion to become a baker and am still baking. As I kept searching for a deeper purpose in my life, I stumbled upon a journey that felt incredibly fulfilling - connecting with people, being a listening ear, and helping them reflect on their lives. This is how I stepped into the path of coaching. Following many courses in coaching and having experiences in different fields and countries, I am here at TINT and eager to listen to your unique stories.  

Let’s meet face-to-face or online to elevate your potential, motivation, and awareness, embrace changes, search for purpose, deal with relationships and family issues, or explore different ways to reach your most cherished goals. Believe me, you will find out more about yourself in this safe and confidential space. I offer coaching in both English and Turkish.

You are welcome to reach out to me for anything that’s on your mind and whatever’s occupying your thoughts.

‘I felt very comfortable during life coaching. The meetings gave me insight into how I felt about myself at that moment. The peace and tranquility, with the fact that I did not feel interrupted and that I could finish, created an overview for me. It is nice to be heard sincerely, this was the feeling Margit gave me and she remained professional in the form of “remain objective”. Something in which I can develop myself is being open-minded and not judging the situation of another. If I eventually want to become a coach, I have to put this judgment aside and sit in an open conversation. It was inspiring to see Margit do this!’

'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.'
