Career coaching
Find clarity, confidence and your own direction in your career.
Hello, I'm Emine, an ICF-certified career coach. For over ten years I advised senior HR, Finance and IT leaders in multicultural organizations as a strategic partner, and for the last five years I have worked as a career coach. I help leaders and professionals turn their career dreams into sustainable plans that work in real life.

About
Who am I?
I built about 13 years of my career at LinkedIn, SAP, ServiceNow, Shell and Accenture. I worked with teams across the Baltics, the Nordics, the Middle East, Europe and the US, and learned first-hand how differently leadership, communication, success and management work from one culture to the next.
I started my career in Istanbul, then moved to Dublin. After six and a half years there, I settled in London in 2023. I love being in multicultural environments. I draw on sociology, psychology, philosophy, science and literature, and these interests and experiences shape every part of my work.
I trained as a coach at Erickson Coaching International and completed MBSR training at Bangor University, which is my mindfulness specialism. In my coaching I combine the two: the strategic outlook of solution-focused coaching with the self-awareness that mindfulness builds.
The people I work with most:
- People who want to change careers but don't know where to start
- People who roughly know what they want to do but not how to do it
- People thinking about moving abroad
- People living abroad who want to adapt to a new culture and different ways of working, and find and make heard their own voice at work
- Immigrants and expats who feel inadequate and struggle with confidence
- People looking for ways to cope with work stress
On this journey I help my clients express themselves with confidence in any culture and any setting, and chart the direction that feels right to them.
What coaching is, what it isn't, and who it's for.
What it is
Coaching is a companionship on the road. Think of your life as a vast ocean: you are the captain of a ship sailing it, and I am your first mate. My main job is to ask the right questions, so there is room for you to find your own answers.
We start from where you are, working out together what you need today. We look at whether what you want and what you need line up, and build a sustainable roadmap you can actually walk.
What it isn't
Coaching is not therapy. It is also not working with someone who gives you ready-made answers or advice, and it is never a process that tells you what to do. I wasn't beside you on the road you have walked so far, and I can't see inside your mind. The most valuable thing I can do is help you reach your own answers through the right questions.
Who it's for
- You feel stuck or behind, or you aren't sure what you really want
- You want to find your own path and discover your talents, strengths and potential
- You dream of building a life abroad and want to navigate job searching in a new country
- As an immigrant, you want to adapt to the culture and the work environment and express yourself with confidence
- You want to build a side hustle or a source of passive income and create something of your own alongside your career
- You want to manage work stress and redirect your energy toward what truly serves you
- You want to truly grow in your career and take your next step with clarity and confidence
- You want to express yourself with more impact at work
- You're ready to change careers or industries but don't know where to start
- You have a sense of what you want, but not yet how to get there
On the road to a career change: coaching and mentoring
When I work with clients who are changing careers, I combine coaching and mentoring.
Coaching trusts that the answer is in you and draws it out with the right questions. Mentoring is more directive support, where I share my own experience and knowledge directly with you. In coaching, you hold the helm; in mentoring, I lay out the map I have built up over the years. Together they help you find your own direction and move along it with steadier steps.
Areas where I offer mentoring support:
- Performance review preparation
- Interview preparation
- LinkedIn profile and CV development
- Workplace relationships
- Workplace stress management

Team coaching & workshops for multicultural teams
I run team coaching programmes, workshops and sessions that help multicultural teams understand each other better, avoid miscommunication and work together in greater harmony. Together, we turn diverse cultural perspectives from a source of friction into the team's greatest strength. If you'd like to bring this to your team, let's talk.
