“I combine a deep understanding of individual development with years of leadership experience.”
As a special needs teacher, developmental therapist and long-standing headteacher, I combine therapeutic tools with a systemic perspective on schools, politics and the world of work. I know the system. I know its weak points. And I shift perspectives – because that is exactly where change begins.
What I’ve learnt in the process: those who truly understand people also change institutions. Today, I support individuals, teams and organisations not in managing diversity – but in using it for what it is: the norm.
What drives me: understanding the uniqueness of every person – not in spite of, but because of their diversity.
With me, you’ll gain crisis management expertise from the school sector, backed by my own experience of leading as a queer person – without any barriers to understanding.
Focus areas: I support queer people in their professional lives, offering a service that combines traditional career coaching with psychological counselling.
Topics: Double life. Conformity. Loss of success. Career-killer. Dead end.
Elliot has been in Berlin since 2012, and became a full time relocation coach a few years later. He love using his experience – and organisation skills – to help navigate the bureaucratic black holes, so that other people’s time in their new city can be as stress-free as possible.
Focus area: Admin in Germany can be overwhelming. So I’ll help people with all their admin and bureaucratic issues, talking you through what you need to do, where you need to go, and how to get things right first time.
Topics: Home search, admin in Berlin, foreigners’ office (Ausländerbehörde/LEA), smoothing the stress of arriving in a new country, and assisting people already in Berlin with their admin difficulties.
After almost a decade in corporate world, building capabilities for career development and a solution-focused coaching training, I started offering career coaching for international students and young professionals. I hold an ACC level coaching accreditation by International Coaching Federation.
Originally from Turkey and based in Germany for the past 10 years, I experience first hand navigating environments where I feel I don’t fully belong. I face challenges with unfitting expectations from society everyday, of looks, language, gender, corporate culture. I understand how difficult it can be to find your direction when nothing seems to align. Maybe this is why, I ended up supporting internationals, neurodiverse individuals and members of LGBTQIA+.
I offer 1-1 and group coaching, workshops at universities and work as a career advisor. My focus is designing a meaningful career, finding your way when you don’t know what you want, and transition from student to work life.
Focus areas: I am focused on career development and strategy for international students and young professionals.
Topics: Finding out your next steps when you don’t know what you want/nothing seems to fit, creating a job search and a longer term career strategy, transitioning into work life from student life, application and job search support, networking and personal branding

I am a systemic and mental health coach and support people going through periods of professional change. I have been self-employed for several years, with experience in the public sector and having founded two start-ups of my own.
My focus is on career coaching, as well as self-management, self-regulation and mental health – particularly in the context of stress, ADHD and neurodiversity. I help clients gain clarity, develop structures and make targeted use of their own strengths.
