Personal Transformation Coaching, Istanbul

Coaching is work we carry out together: looking for balance in the different areas of your life, your relationships and your communication, clarifying your goals and remembering your own strength.

Coaching sessions aim to help you see options you had not noticed before at the point where you feel undecided, unhappy or stuck.

What are we doing during the sessions?

In coaching sessions you work with different techniques that open up new perspectives. Over the session you develop strategies and make an action plan for moving from where you are now towards where you want to be.

In coaching we look at the strengths and qualities you are not aware of or have not used until now, and talk about the direction you want to give your life. We work on balance in your relationships and clarity in your communication. As you begin to express yourself more clearly, the aim is to have more of the moments where you enjoy life.

I usually suggest coaching as a programme of seven sessions; we plan it together at the first meeting.

Frequently asked questions

What is life, relationship and communication coaching?

It’s structured one-to-one work in which we look for balance across the different areas of your life, your relationships and the way you communicate. We get clear about your goals and bring your own strengths back into view. Coaching is something we do together, and where it goes depends on what you bring to it.

What happens in a life coaching session with you?

We use a range of techniques that let you see your situation from angles you haven’t tried. During the session you sketch out strategies and an action plan for getting from where you are to where you’d like to be. We also look at strengths you haven’t noticed or used so far, and at the direction you want your life to take.

How many coaching sessions do you usually recommend?

A programme of seven sessions is what I usually suggest. That’s a starting point, not a rule: at our first meeting we look at what you need and plan the programme together. For how the sessions are spaced and what they cost, write to us and we’ll give you the details.
