Testimonials for Feyza

Take a look at the sincere feedback shared by leaders whose paths crossed with Feyza in coaching.

“Yesterday is gone, my dear, it’s time to say new things…”

Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi

I started my individual coaching sessions with Ms. Feyza over a year ago. The idea of individual coaching emerged when I shared with a friend—who had experienced the process herself—the various decisions that were swirling in my mind but that I couldn’t make definitively, and the ones I thought I had decided on but couldn’t put into action. She recommended that I try individual coaching.

In the past, when I heard the term “individual coaching,” I assumed it was a different approach to psychotherapy and never really explored it in depth. However, in our introductory session, Ms. Feyza explained that individual coaching helps a person develop a perspective that enables them to view themselves objectively. This explanation made me realize that this was exactly what I needed. Additionally, the inherent nature of coaching—where there is no hierarchical advisory relationship between the coach and the coachee, but rather an equal interaction where the coachee determines what is best for them—helped me decide that individual coaching was exactly what I was looking for.

Over the course of our sessions, which we scheduled at highly variable intervals due to my work commitments, I found that coaching not only significantly benefited my professional life—where I initially sought to achieve specific goals—but also had a profound impact on something I consider even more important: my family relationships. Through coaching, I gained a deeper understanding of myself and learned how to critically question what I truly want.

I am especially grateful to Ms. Feyza for her patience in persistently asking me the very questions I needed to answer but had always ignored. She carefully listened to my often highly detailed and sometimes even seemingly unrelated explanations, pinpointed the key insights, and helped me recognize their significance by the end of each session. Time and again, I found myself thinking, “I’m so glad we addressed this topic in a coaching session,” and each time, I added a new layer of self-awareness to my personal growth. For all of this, I am truly thankful to Ms. Feyza.

I started coaching sessions with Ms. Feyza about five years ago. At that time, I was dealing with so many challenges at both my faculty and my own clinic that I knew I couldn’t handle everything on my own. I had previously received psychological support and felt much better as a result. However, when I heard about the field of life coaching, I became curious and decided to give it a try.

In our first session, I asked Ms. Feyza what I needed to do. She explained that she wouldn’t be giving me advice or making recommendations. Instead, she told me that all the answers were already within me, and her role was to help me access them. And that’s exactly what happened… Rather than focusing on how to escape my problems or distract myself to feel better, she guided me toward the person who knows me best—Tansu. The answers had been with me all along, even the best ones. Problems started resolving quickly.

Believing that this kind of training could make a meaningful difference at my clinic as well, we decided to undergo ‘team coaching.’ All clinic staff—including doctors, assistants, and secretaries—participated in the process. We learned how to solve problems collectively as a team. Everyone remained an individual, yet at the same time, we functioned as a unified organism. Solutions and success became two inseparable concepts in our daily work.

Finally, my humble advice to you is this: If you want to discover your own truths, clarify solutions, and understand what truly defines you, try coaching. It will be beneficial in every aspect of life. Success and happiness will follow.

I started working with Ms. Feyza with the doubt, “How can a 35-year-old change their behavior?” and ended with a deep belief in the famous logical levels pyramid.

Ms. Feyza has made such an impactful contribution to increasing my self-awareness that I now know what questions to ask myself and how to reach solutions. And even if I can’t find a solution, I know that Ms. Feyza will guide me toward one.

I believe that having a coach who is warm, friendly, and makes you feel good is incredibly important in the journey of self-discovery. I can clearly say that our work together has had a significant impact on both my professional and personal life. I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to her once again.

My work with Ms. Feyza has been much more results-oriented compared to others, directly inviting me to take action and inspiring me to move forward.

I sincerely thank her for her valuable contributions.

My first encounter with Feyza Hanım began with coaching training for our company’s managers, which provided me with the opportunity to learn the fundamental coaching methods in detail.

Later, I had the chance to receive one-on-one coaching sessions with Feyza Hanım for 7 sessions, and that’s when I experienced the real shock. I call it a shock because it was perhaps the first time I had the chance to get to know myself at this depth. During these sessions, many ideas emerged that I realized had always been within me, but I had never been able to find them until then.

Whether in my professional management career or personal life, I am still actively using all the methods Feyza Hanım helped me discover, as well as all the aspects of myself I was unaware of. I am endlessly grateful to my valuable coach, Feyza Hanım, for introducing me to myself and increasing my awareness.

I have been having coaching sessions with Feyza Hanım for over a year now. These sessions have greatly helped me find solutions to problems that were actually hidden deep in my mind, especially in areas like time management, achieving long-term goals with confidence, and maintaining a healthy balance between family, work, and dreams. The experiences gained from our discussions have helped me become a more successful employee and manager, as well as a better father and husband. Furthermore, despite all of this, she has enabled me to move one step closer to my dreams every day without giving up on them.

In the last months of 2013, attending the Managerial Perspective training organized by Denge Merkezi for our company greatly changed both my managerial and life perspectives.

Through the 3 sessions of individual coaching included in the training, I met my dear coach, friend, and mentor, Feyza, who opened the doors to the magical world of coaching for me. Those 3 sessions were truly a guide to understanding what I truly expected from life. Especially when the words that came out of my mouth were written down on paper by Feyza’s hands, it created a kind of magic that led me to where I am today.

The awareness created through coaching and those magical hours motivated me to pursue coaching training. I completed my coaching training with the beloved Zerrin Başer and am currently in the certification process. I am infinitely grateful to dear Feyza for her amazing coaching and friendship, which led me to make this training decision. I wish that her warm smile, sincerity, positive outlook on life, and professionalism continue to touch many lives with love.

In late 2013 and early 2014, I received 7 sessions of professional coaching. At the end of this period, I saw that my awareness had increased, and I was able to approach the challenging issues I was facing from different perspectives. Most importantly, I realized that the action plans we created were actionable. In short, I learned that using coaching methodology, there was a real possibility of solving what seemed like a difficult issue or problem.

In every area we addressed, whether it was human relations, work life, personal life, or future planning, I noticed that my decision-making process became faster and more developed. As a result, my self-confidence also increased, and I noticed these positive changes in myself.

For me, coaching essentially helped me “look at myself from a more organized perspective.”

With sincerity, she is the one who introduced me to myself. She asked those questions in my mind, the ones that had been waiting for answers for years, in such a way that now I think differently and exist differently. Now, I enter each session wondering which parts of myself I will get to know today. Without a doubt, every step we take is now very important. It is being recorded both by ourselves and by those around us. Now I know that once we truly get to know the “us” within ourselves, everything feels natural, and our awareness becomes our guide.

Feyza plays a beautiful role in helping us meet our awareness, taking on the best diplomatic role. She approached my emotional character and the necessary professionalism in such a simple way that now, with every successful step I take, these awarenesses keep me on track.

Sincerely,
