You're at a crossroads abroad. You can work with a Turkish-speaking coach.
Thinking in a foreign language narrows the depth of your decisions. Without having to explain the cultural context, we can focus directly on "your" issues.
Express your emotions, worries, and dreams fully in Turkish. Speak the way you think, with nothing lost in translation.
Family pressure, social expectations, the paradox of "living away from home" — you don't have to explain each one. We already understand the context.
Flexible session times aligned with Germany (CET/CEST) and the UK (GMT/BST). Sessions are online (Zoom/Teams) — join from anywhere.
Migrating is not just changing countries; it's rebuilding your identity, your career, and your family on a new plane. If any of the questions below feel familiar, you're in the right place.
This question, spread across years, grows heavier every year. Instead of a definitive verdict, a conscious choice is possible.
Does my experience from Turkey count here? A promotion, a career change, or an independent venture?
The feeling of being stuck between two cultures. How does the search for belonging make decisions harder?
Which language should they learn first? Which values should be passed on? How should the school system be navigated?
Distance from parents back in Turkey, marriage decisions, cultural tensions in relationship dynamics.
You know where you're going, but you just can't get moving. This is exactly where coaching works.
Sessions are online (Zoom/Teams), 45–60 minutes, with 15 days between them. The responsibility for putting decisions into action is entirely yours; I encourage you to take action and facilitate your thinking process.
20 minutes. We talk about where you stand and what's challenging you. Together we assess whether coaching is right for you.
In the first session, we identify the most critical issue on your agenda. You set the direction of the process.
45–60 minutes, every two weeks. With digital tools, we make abstract concepts concrete and clarify your options.
Turning the process into action is up to you. My role is to challenge your thinking on this journey and support your progress.
"After moving abroad, 'Did I make the right decision?' nagged at me. Working with Banu, I learned to stand behind my choices and adapt smoothly."
"Loneliness and cultural shock exhausted me. Through our process, I discovered how to align my values with this new life abroad."
"Should I stay or should I go? I was stuck. Our sessions revealed new possibilities I hadn't seen. Now I've opened a brand new chapter."
Yes. Thanks to today's technology, online sessions are just as effective as in-person ones. With digital whiteboards and screen sharing, making abstract decisions concrete can be even more practical than meeting face to face.
No. Flexible session schedules are arranged to fit CET/CEST (Germany, the Netherlands) and GMT/BST (UK) times. The session time is set entirely around your schedule.
The process varies from person to person. An initial stage of 4–8 sessions is usually recommended. The decision is entirely yours; you can end the process at any session.
If you feel stuck inside your decisions, worn out from trying to do the right thing, and you'd like to move past it from your own comfort zone through online sessions, you can get in touch with me.
