My Story

I grew up in a small village in Turkiye, in a crowded family with three older brothers. From an early age, I learned what it meant to find my place in a world that often seemed designed around boys and to work out who I was within it.

 

Looking back, those early experiences shaped the way I understand people, confidence, belonging and the ways we can adapt ourselves to fit in.

 

I went on to build a career across different worlds and countries, from nursing and business studies to international sales, marketing and corporate leadership.

I spent more than a decade in the corporate world, including senior leadership roles, before becoming an entrepreneur and starting my own businesses in Istanbul.

 

Then I moved to the UK for the second time and started again from the ground up.

​

This time, I was a solo entrepreneur, building my business, my coaching practice and my professional network from scratch.

No corporate structure behind me.

No team to share every decision with.

I had to figure things out, make the decisions, take the risks and build something that was truly my own.

 

I’ve been on both sides, as an employee and a leader, as an entrepreneur and a solo business owner, as someone working within an organisation and someone building something of my own.

 

Growth and personal development have always been important to me. I’m a lifelong learner, and my learning didn’t stop with my business degree.

 

Over the years, I continued to study leadership, business development and marketing, as well as different approaches to understanding ourselves and how we relate to others.

 

This has included therapy studies of  inner child and inner teenager work, family constellation, Gestalt, somatic work, womb wisdom, past life regression then  Biodanza and Nonviolent Communication.

 

I’ve explored all of this because I’m curious about what makes us who we are, what shapes our choices and why we sometimes repeat patterns even when we know they no longer serve us.

 

I chose to focus my work on women because I’ve seen how easily capable women can hold themselves back to meet other people’s expectations.

They adapt, second-guess themselves, hold back their voice or feel they need to be different to succeed.

 

But when women stop holding themselves back, they don’t just change their own lives. They lead differently. They build differently. They create opportunities for others.

 

I believe we need more women who are grounded in who they are and confident enough to lead and build in their own way.

​

Today, I bring together my business and leadership experience with 5,000+ hours of coaching and 1000+ days of workshops and training.

 

I work with women, leaders and organisations across different sectors and cultures. As an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), I work at both the individual and organisational level.

 

I look beyond the obvious.

​

What we see on the surface is not always the whole story.

A business challenge, a leadership struggle or a career decision can often be connected to deeper patterns, how we think, the choices we make, what we believe and how we see ourselves.

 

My work is about seeing what is really going on, bringing clarity to it and helping you move forward with confidence and action.

​

I don’t believe there is one formula for success.

 

I believe the business and life you build should reflect who you are and who you want to become.

​

And that is what I help women do: build success on their own terms, without losing themselves along the way.
