Sound familiar?
These are the beliefs that may be keeping you stuck in people-pleasing mode...
"Being assertive makes me difficult."
"I don't want to seem selfish."

Emel models how progress at anxiety inducing life journeys can be made.
Emel is a role model for me in the way she learns, coaches, and shows up. I've learnt so a lot and felt so much supported while being coached by Emel.
Emel shows an incredible commitment to growth and development. She is highly disciplined and goes the extra mile. Emel makes a difference in others' lives through coaching while enjoying the journey.
I had the pleasure to have six hours of coaching with Emel and it helped me a lot to figure out what my professional passion is and which direction I wanted to take in the next months. We chose a topic for each session, but there were lots of twists and turns through the discussions, so I found out new things about myself every time. Her questions, the tools and homework resulted in a very well-rounded profile, and I would recommend coaching with Emel to anyone.
10 coaching sessions I had with Emel gave me the opportunity to gather my thoughts and concerns about my career, to prioritize them and shape the necessary action plans. Coaching also helped me reconsider my strengths and weaknesses and gave me a perspective on how I can focus on my strengths. At the end of this experience, I felt completely relaxed and stronger. Thank you Emel.
I have attended three coaching sessions with Emel, each of which lasted for about 1.5 hours. I'm impressed by her inspiratory questions digging into my experiences, helping me discover hidden points that are actually crucial for me. Besides, I like her exercise tasks about loving myself and I keep doing them after the sessions. Another thing is that I learned from her to celebrate what I have done. I never thought I had so many things to celebrate. The feeling is really good and long-lasting!
I am grateful to Emel for the caching provided. Although we had only two sessions, her professionalism and support were evident. She helps break down situations and view them from a different perspective, which can be incredibly helpful when one gets stuck in a loop of overthinking. I wish you a successful continuation of your career, and I have no doubt that you will help many people achieve their goals.
I had the privilege of having multiple coaching sessions with Emel during September and October of 2024.She has an extraordinary ability to listen with genuine understanding and deep empathy, creating a safe and nurturing space where you feel truly heard. Her extensive knowledge of psychological theories, combined with her wealth of creative coaching techniques, makes each session both insightful and fun. Emel helped me think outside the box and view my situation from a long-term perspective, allowing me to gain more clarity about my life path. She also introduced several creative, actionable approaches to me that helped me overcome my writer’s block.
I had the pleasure to have coaching sessions with Emel, and it was a truly transformative experience. Her ability to actively listen, understand my challenges, and provide thoughtful guidance and powerful questions was remarkable. It helped me to go to next level. Through her coaching session, I gained confidence and clarity, which helps me achieve my goals more effectively. Emel’s supportive and professional approach made a real difference, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a coach who truly empowers and inspires growth.
