Confidential Peer Support (CPS)

Hi, I’m Joep! If I were to describe myself I would say I’m a busy bee. I like to do a lot of different things besides my studies like music, sports, tutoring, etc. Sometimes student life can be quite intense, and for me it helps a lot to talk to my friends about my problems. Likewise they talk to me when they struggle with things. If you feel like you need someone to talk to, I can be that listening friend for you! So please feel free to reach out!

Hi there! My name is Bart! I’m a fourth years student at the TU/e, and recently started out with my masters! During my bachelor, I did a lot of committees at Industria and did a minor at the ESoE, all while still living at home. Combining a full student life with a lot of travel to and from Eindhoven can be hard and wear you down, so if you ever want to talk or grab a coffee, don’t be afraid to reach out!

In my spare time I like to play sports (football, squash, running), but also be busy with various committees, work, and hanging out with my friends. If you need help with something or just want a listening ear, don’t hesitate to contact me. I am glad to help you and remember that you are not out there on your own!

I know your student life may seem like the best time of your life, but it can be overwhelming so you don't always have to feel like this. I am always in for a chat so if you ever feel the need to talk to someone, I am there for you!

Hi there! I am Isabel/Izzy, a nonbinary and queer person (I use all pronouns). I describe myself as a creative, chaotic centipede; I like to try out everything creative. I’m also part of both the Lighthouse advisory committee and the peer-support platform. During my bachelor’s I’ve struggled a lot with both physical (chronic pain & epilepsy) and mental health issues, and I have received a lot of support from this university. I’ve learned how to deal with my struggles and adjust as a student. With my experience, I hope as a CPS I can lend a listening ear to whomever needs it. Do not hesitate to contact me!

I am Julia! I am 21 years old and currently in my third year of the bachelor Psychology & Technology! I am a member of E.S.C and Intermate. In my daily life I like to be active and I often get together with friends to hang out!

Hi everyone! My name is Colette, I am 23 years old and a chemical engineering student. Furthermore, I love adventures. While life, especially as a student, can be chaotic and busy, it is always a good idea to talk. No matter the issue, small or big. If you ever need a listening ear, feel free to reach out!

I value ones' wellbeing and safety immensely and am a real people person. I love to listen and talk and use this very often as a nice break from studying. I used to study Mechanica Engineering, but decided to switch to P&T. This sparked my interest in becoming a CPS, since I want to help others who struggle with their studies or just in general. If you feel like you need a chat, I am here for you! :)

I am a listener, like to take care of the people around me, and have a down-to-earth approach. If you feel like you need someone to talk to, you can always contact me to grab a cup of coffee or tea!

Hi! I’m Jasmijn, currently studying industrial engineering. Besides that, I love to be active which is why I joined Donquishoot to play hockey. Sometimes student life can get a bit overwhelming balancing all the different aspects. So if you ever want to have a chat, or grab a thee together don’t hesitate to reach out.

As an international student, I have found myself comfortable around different communities at TU/e, many students find this difficult, Dutch or otherwise. I want to amongst other issues that I’d like to assist resolve, I want to help students find a sense of belonging, like I found. Just like a typical extrovert, I gain energy by social interactions, and I can always make time for new interactions.

Hi! I am Merel. I study Applied Psychology and I am a member of Footloose and Blue. Study or non-study related, you can often find me abroad. I am a fan of adventure, both humorous and serious conversations, gaining new experiences and exploring the world. I have a passion for dancing, pole dance, snowboarding, and many other sports. As a CPS, through listening without judgement, I hope to lower barriers to seek support and create a safe environment to talk about what is on your mind, no matter big or small. I am glad you found this page. Please don’t hesitate to take the step of reaching out to me.

Friends know me as someone who is always enthusiastic. And so am I for being a confidential peer supporter! I like helping other people and I think it is important that everyone feels free to share their struggles with someone. Also as a student mentor I have good conversations with other students. 

Fun fact: I’m one of the creators of the mental health podcast Mentalitijd :)

I am in my third year of the Applied Physics bachelor and I am pretty active in many different associations, mainly VDWaals, Nayade, Quadrivium and La Tuna. The work-life balance required for this is something i'm very mindful of. In my alone-time i'm mostly busy listening to or making music or playing games. I also like to have deep conversations that switch to stupid ones and vice versa.

Currently, I’m one of Doppio’s confidential peer supporters and that’s a wonderful job to do. It’s amazing to experience how well you can help someone by simply listening and guiding someone their way into acceptance or salvation of their problem.

Fun fact: I’m in a promotional video of the TU/e, but not the one for my study. Why I have become a contact point: I think being a listener is going a long way with helping student cope with the problems they are facing.

Hey, there! I’m dedicated to ensuring that everyone at the university feels embraced and valued, and aiding people in discovering their groups and communities. During my free time, you’ll frequently spot me at the gym or rowing along the canal. I’m also passionate about cooking and playing the piano. If you ever need someone to talk to about any challenges you may be facing, feel free to reach out. I’m here to listen without judgment.

I’m the type of student who spends more time on extracurricular activities than my actual study. In my spare time I have a job, do committee work and exercise a lot (fitness, kickboxing and Japanese jujitsu). As a CPS I hope to offer a listening ear to anyone who needs it. I’m open to talk about anything at any time. So, don’t hesitate to send a message!

Hi, I'm Tudor. Ive been working and studying at the TUe for a while now so I kinda know my way around. In myh spare time I like to be with my friends, maybe look at some art or watch a movie or just listen to music. Reach out if you want to talk to someone chill but solution oriented or if you just want to have a laugh and vent at someone.
