Life changes & transitions
When one chapter of your life comes to an end, things begin to change, or the next chapter is still unclear.
Explore transitions ↗Perhaps your thoughts keep returning to the same question. Perhaps a chapter of your life has ended and you are unsure what comes next. Or you are carrying an experience you have never quite found the words for. You can take your time here. You do not need a plan yet.

Explore transitions ↗When your work no longer feels right and you want to explore other possibilities.
Explore work and change ↗When you are finding your place between languages, expectations and different worlds.
Explore belonging ↗When everyone seems to have a plan for your future except you.
Explore your possibilities ↗A relationship may have ended, a familiar chapter may be over, or something may be shifting before you can name it. Sometimes it feels as though the ground has disappeared beneath your feet.
You can start wherever you are. We can explore what has changed, what matters to you and what you need right now. We do not have to rush towards an answer.

Perhaps you go to work wondering whether this is really the life you want. Perhaps you long for a different direction but security, expectations or uncertainty make it hard to move. Or perhaps you have already left and have no idea what comes next.
Together we can explore your experiences, wishes and possibilities, including what has sustained you and what no longer fits. You do not have to make a decision straight away.

Perhaps you grew up between languages and different ways of living. You love your family and want to stay connected, while some of their expectations do not fit the life you want. Religion, loyalty, relationships and family reputation can make even small decisions complicated.
I know how exhausting it can be to explain all those layers. There is room here for family ties, political grief, humour, contradictions and things that get lost in translation. We can speak English, German or Arabic and switch between them.

Perhaps you have finished school and do not know whether to train, study, work or try something else. Perhaps you are already studying something you never really chose, while everyone at home is waiting for your degree.
We can explore what interests you and what options are open to you. Your family’s hopes can be part of the conversation too. You do not need to know who you will become. For now, this offer is for adults aged 18 and over.

Perhaps you recognise yourself in one of these themes. Or perhaps it is something else entirely.
There are times when the old no longer fits and the new has not yet appeared. After a separation, when leaving a profession, or when different expectations pull us in different directions. This in-between can feel empty and frightening, especially when everyone is asking what comes next.
I do not think we always need to hurry out of that space. Sometimes we need time, like a cocoon in which change is taking place long before anyone can see what will emerge. The in-between can also be fertile ground, somewhere to stay for a while and let something of our own begin to grow.
My approach is person-centred and systemic. I want to listen without pushing you towards a particular answer. Your relationships, history and circumstances are part of the picture, and all the different parts of your life are welcome here.
I offer systemic guidance through individual coaching sessions. You can come with a specific question or take some time to explore what is on your mind. Together, we can see what you need and how I might accompany you.
We begin with an introductory conversation without obligation. You can tell me what brought you here and see whether you feel comfortable talking with me.
Afterwards we can arrange individual sessions or meet regularly over a longer period. Some people bring a particular question; others want time to understand something that has been with them for years. We can find a rhythm that suits you.
You do not need to have the right words yet. We can find them together.

I’m Mona, and I’m glad you found your way here. I grew up in a Palestinian-Portuguese family, between languages, places and different ideas of home. Perhaps that is why I have spent so long wondering where we belong when none of the ready-made categories quite fits.
I used to imagine myself in a long hallway full of doors. Some were open, others slowly closed, and I kept waiting for one to be the right one. These days I like the thought that we may not have to wait for a door to open. Perhaps we can make the space we are already in our own.
I now live in Berlin between two trees, one of which blossoms pink in spring. The birds outside my window are as much part of my daily life as stories from different countries and generations.
I am trained in psychological and systemic coaching and have worked in counselling, career guidance and school social work, as well as cultural projects and editing. We can talk about major turning points or something small that you cannot quite put your finger on.
We can speak English, German or Arabic, and move between languages. Sessions are online.
If you’d like to see whether working together feels right for you, send me a few lines about what brought you here.
