Why I do this work
There was a time when everything looked stable from the outside, but internally things felt unclear, heavy, and disconnected.
I know what it feels like to function well on paper while questioning direction, meaning, or next steps beneath the surface.
Coaching was not something I found through theory. It was something I experienced. Through that process I realised that the answers were never missing. They were simply not visible yet.
This is the work I do today.
I do not give advice or predefined solutions. I create a space where you can think clearly, reconnect with yourself, and move forward in a way that feels right for you.

How coaching with me works
1 . Intro call
A first conversation to understand your situation, your expectations, and whether coaching with me feels like the right fit.
2 . Tailored approach
Based on your topic, you receive a suggested structure and direction for the coaching process.
3 . Coaching sessions
We work together with focus, reflection, and clarity to help you move forward in a way that fits you.

Unlock Your Inner Compass
Clarity does not come from outside!
It is something you uncover within yourself. When you pause and truly listen, your direction becomes clearer. With intention and effort, you begin to move forward with purpose and confidence.
The Answers Are Already Within You
You carry more insight than you think!
Every question you ask points toward something you already know, even if it is not fully visible yet. By creating space to reflect and explore, these answers begin to surface.
Step Into Your Own Potential
Growth is not about becoming someone else.
It is about fully stepping into who you already are. Your potential expands when you actively engage with it, rather than waiting for certainty.

Moving through conflict with awareness
Conflict at work is often avoided, delayed, or softened to the point where nothing is really said. On the surface, everything stays polite and professional, but underneath there is tension, frustration, or misunderstanding that does not disappear on its own. Most conflicts do not start with a big disagreement. They begin with small moments that…

Burnout does not arrive loudly
Burnout does not arrive loudly. It starts quietly, almost unnoticed. In the beginning, it rarely looks like something serious. It might feel like a few heavier mornings, a bit less motivation than usual, or a constant sense of tiredness that you cannot fully explain. You notice it, but you tell yourself it is just a…

From Family Therapy to Coaching
Modern coaching did not begin in boardrooms or performance culture. Its roots lie in systemic family therapy, where the focus shifted from what is wrong within a person to how patterns, relationships, and context shape behaviour. In the 1970s and 1980s, therapists such as Milton Erickson, Virginia Satir, and Paul Watzlawick began to challenge traditional…

Real reflections from people who have gone through the coaching process
Lumencompass
a new route amidst uncertainty
As a coach, I deeply value effective coaching. A coach like Mahyar, with profound questions and a structured approach beyond just the session agenda, is truly invaluable. He helped me gain clarity in my journey, and I highly recommend him when feeling overwhelmed. He will guide you to address each challenge thoughtfully and wisely.
A career transition
I was at a very difficult point in my career, feeling completely stuck and overwhelmed. My thoughts were tangled, and I couldn’t find the right path forward. Working with Mahyar changed everything for me. Through our coaching sessions, step by step, we brought clarity to my situation. We put everything on paper, organized my thoughts, and gradually turned my confusion into a clear direction. This process helped me make much better decisions. Not only was I able to leave my previous job—which was very hard for me—but I also received great support throughout my job search and eventually found a good new position. Mahyar is a truly professional coach. After each session, I felt calmer, more confident, and more certain about the steps I was taking. I’m very grateful for his support and guidance, and I highly recommend him to anyone who feels lost or is going through a career transition.
Start the Conversation
There is no single right way to begin, only the way that feels most natural and comfortable for you. Taking the first step can be simple, and it starts with choosing how you would like to reach out.
If you have questions and prefer to express your thoughts in writing, the contact form is a good place to start. It gives you the space to reflect, take your time, and share what is on your mind in your own words. I will read your message carefully and respond with clarity and attention.
If you feel that a direct exchange would support you better, you can book an introductory call using the panel below. This gives us the opportunity to connect, explore your situation together, and see how I can best support you moving forward.
