About Me
Hi there, I’m Hatice or Hatty. As a qualified career counsellor and coach based in Sydney, I specialise in supporting women facing work-related challenges and seeking positive career changes. My mission is to empower you to believe in yourself, your potential, and your ability to overcome career obstacles.
My Personal Journey
Growing up as the eldest child, I took on significant responsibilities early on, caring for my siblings and supporting my parents. This experience shaped me into a resilient and independent person, but it also meant navigating much of my life alone, without guidance. I was always the one who had the answers and the one who remained strong when times were tough.
For many years, I felt like I had “slipped into” my career because of my passion for helping others. But as I worked with clients, supporting them in finding careers that brought them meaning, I began to question my own purpose. Was I truly energised by my work? Did I feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction? Why was I doing what I do?
These questions led to a deep period of self-reflection. I realised that my desire to help others was deeply connected to my own experiences of navigating life independently. Understanding this and connecting with my ‘why’ made my work more meaningful and fulfilling. It wasn’t just about helping others; it was about understanding and empathising with their journeys because I had been through similar struggles.
"Empowering you to create a career and life you love".
My Approach to Career Counselling and Coaching
With extensive experience in vocational services and workplace wellbeing, I offer tailored career counselling and coaching to help you set and achieve your career goals. My approach focuses on creating a supportive and empathetic environment where you can explore your strengths, passions, and values without judgment. Together, we’ll create a personalised plan to help you manage stress, prevent burnout, and achieve a better work-life balance.
Combining proven counselling and coaching techniques, I provide a holistic, personalised experience. My goal is to empower you with practical strategies and insights needed for lasting career transformation. Whether you’re dealing with burnout, seeking a career change, or transitioning back to work after a significant life event, my aim is to support you every step of the way.
Connecting with Women Like You
I understand what it’s like to be the strong one who rarely seeks help, who prioritises others, and who feels overwhelmed. I’ve experienced the transformation that comes from prioritising yourself and seeking support. It’s a courageous step toward change.
Today, I use my personal experiences to guide strong, independent women like you, who are ready to discover their true purpose and build a fulfilling career and life. My approach is all about focusing on your unique strengths, values, and passions to navigate your career transitions, manage stress, build confidence, and achieve your dreams.
