Changes In Life Norwood

Life in Norwood, a picturesque London borough, has undoubtedly undergone significant transformations over the years. Traditional markets have given way to contemporary shopping complexes, and old terraced houses have slowly but surely been replaced with modern apartments. These developments echo the rapid urbanisation that forever alters the face of cities around the globe. Still, it is clear that Norwood maintains its unique charm, preserving fragments of its historical past while embracing the future.

One noteworthy aspect of Norwood’s evolution is its burgeoning arts and culture scene. A profusion of art galleries, theatres, and music venues now forms an integral part of Norwood’s community fabric, consolidating the district’s role as a cultural hub in South London. Simultaneously, advancements in public transport infrastructure and the proliferation of expansive green spaces and recreation areas have also contributed to the neighbourhood’s transformation, improving the quality of life for its diverse population. These shifts in Norwood’s socio-economic landscape particularly reflect the needs of its growing population and the changing dynamics of urban living.

Yet, amid these stark transformations, Norwood remains firmly connected to its roots. Its rich history is evident in the architectural grandeur of surviving period homes, churches, and landmarks. Plus, long-established local markets continue to thrive, serving as a vibrant reminder of Norwood’s palpable community spirit and unique identity. The evolution of Norwood, therefore, represents a delicate balance between retaining nostalgia for a simpler time and embracing opportunities brought about by progress and change.

The hardest part of any journey is usually taking the first step. Give me a call or send me an email and that’s the first step done! Then we can have a chat to see if and how I can help. No pressure. It is that easy.

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
