Who I Help

Ready for a new chapter?

Perhaps you're questioning things you once felt certain about, struggling to trust yourself after a difficult relationship, adjusting to a new reality, or sensing that something in your life needs to change.

Wherever you find yourself today, coaching can help you gain awareness, explore what's possible, and make intentional choices about what comes next.

My Approach

Compassionate. Practical. Empowering.

My coaching is grounded in research, guided by a trauma-informed approach, and tailored to you, recognizing that everyone's experiences, needs, and pace are different.

I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space built on empathy and understanding, where you can be yourself, speak openly, and feel truly heard.

I'm honest, direct, and willing to challenge your thinking when needed, helping you turn insights into meaningful action. My style is down-to-earth and approachable, and I make psychological concepts easy to understand and apply in everyday life.

My role isn't to tell you what to do, but to help you discover your own answers, recognize your strengths, and move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

About Me

Hi, I'm Melis.

I'm a professionally trained coach, former management consultant, and change management expert with over 15 years of experience helping people and organizations reach their full potential.

I combine my professional expertise, coaching training, and lived experience to bring a unique perspective on personal growth, resilience, and transformation.

I'm particularly passionate about helping people recover from narcissistic abuse and toxic relationships. Having experienced firsthand how challenging, but also rewarding, starting over in midlife can be, I'm equally passionate about supporting others through midlife transitions, whether through divorce, a career change, finding love again, or redefining what they want from life.

I believe our past can shape us, but it doesn't have to define our future. We all have the power to transform ourselves and create a life we love.

Frequently Asked Questions

A few things you may be wondering

What format do the coaching sessions take?

Coaching sessions are 60–90 minutes long and take place online via Google Meet video calls.

What happens during the free intro session?

We'll talk about what brings you to coaching, how I might support you, and whether we're a good fit. There's no pressure or obligation to continue after the introductory session.

Do I need to know exactly what I want to work on?

Not at all. We can begin by exploring where you are now and what you feel you might need.

Is coaching the same as therapy?

No. Coaching focuses on self-discovery, goals, and moving forward. It is not a substitute for mental-health treatment or psychotherapy.
