Changes In Life Acton

Life in Acton has seen an immense flux over several decades. The multicultural neighbourhood, once an overlooked southern area of Ealing in west London, has rapidly developed into a sought-after suburb. From its industrial past to its current residency attraction, Acton’s transformation speaks volumes.

In the preceding years, Acton was predominantly industrial. Known for its motor car production in the early 20th century, followed by laundry services earning it the moniker of ‘Soapsud Island.’ The area was home to an array of factories including Lucas Aerospace and Wilkinson Sword. The vast influx of immigrants, mainly from Poland and Australia, helped grow this community, creating a diverse cultural cityscape. However, a significant change arrived with the demise of industry, marking a shift from the industrial epoch to the rise of residential boltholes.

The recent years have seen Acton going through another distinctive evolution. A remarkable shift from its industrial roots, favouring the rise of residential complexes, local businesses, and amenities. The centrepiece of this transformation arrived with the opening of Acton’s Crossrail station, making the area more connected and attractive to potential residents. The town has also witnessed an explosion of food scenes, cafes, and markets that cater to its multicultural populace. The redevelopments and price growth in the area have turned heads and Acton is now considered to be one of London’s attractive and desired residential areas. Although the area has seen significant changes over the years, the strong community spirit and diverse culture have remained, making it the interesting confluence of past and present that we can witness today.

About me

Let’s get the formalities over and done with. I am a Certified Life Coach, NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner, a professional member of ANLP, and a member of ICF.

I have a lot of life experiences under my belt. I have hitchhiked around Texas as a youngster, visited many countries, and mentored others in the field of education. I also ran my own business providing early years childcare for over 20 years, one of my greatest professional achievements to date.

But hitting my 50s a few years ago, was a pivotal moment. I felt I had lost my sense of identity and to some extent my health.

I knew I needed and wanted to change, to re-evaluate my life and to overcome my personal battle with my weight.

In the end, that personal journey of overcoming my own challenges led me to a total career change and to re-training as a coach because I knew I could and wanted to help others. I am not going to say my own journey was not daunting at times, but I hope my personal transformation will help inspire others.

Oh, and I love fresh flowers, Latin music, football and reading – which is my greatest joy.

What are my values?

There are certain things that really matter to me. I hope they resonate with you too because they are very much part of how I work:

Testimonials

I approached Haleh at my dark times. I was going through my divorce. A separation that was hard on both of us but needed to be done. Haleh helped me by being a really good and understanding listener. She asked me questions that really opened up my mind. Some I couldn't even answer because I had never thought about it before but it became an exercise and practice at home. She also gave me some very cool exercises to do at home which was very interesting and helpful to me. I love how calm and positive she is. The experience really helped me get through it. I would definitely recommend Haleh to anyone who feels confused.

Coach Halleh, i wanted to personally thank you for your coaching. You have listened carefully and helped me to dissect so many issues that were stopping me prioritizing and moving forward. In a few sessions with you, you have made it clear what is more important now and how to compartmentalize different tasks' work, home and personal. Thank you again for your continued support.

From the beginning I was nervous, I am not one for a talker especially when talking about myself. However, sitting in with Haleh from the start made me feel at ease. I believe she may have sensed the nervousness about me and already had a warming approach. Towards the end I could not stop talking and learned a lot of things about myself in our session. Haleh’s professionalism was superb, it felt like I had known her for years and at one stage thought I was talking to a friend of 10 years. We set some great tasks ahead and I felt energised and motivated to move onto my next phase. If there is anyone like me and is not much of a talker, I highly recommend to spend 5 minutes with Haleh and you have the best experience.

Let go of guilt and embrace saying no
