GroWithin
Her birey sağlıklı, mutlu, üretken bir yaşam sürme, hayatın tadını çıkarma, fiziksel sağlıkta, ilişkilerde, eğitimde, kariyerde, gelişme kapasitesine sahiptir.
Fakat bu gelişim süreci içerisinde hedeflerini destekleyebilecek veya hedeflerinin önünde engel yaratabilecek kendine özgü inançları, değerleri, deneyimleri, algıları ve kör noktaları vardır.
Ayrıca günümüzde insanlık tarihte hiç olmadığı kadar hızlı bir değişim içinde olan bir dünyaya ayak uydurmak durumundadır. Bireylerin kendilerini daha hızlı ilerletecek ve daha tutarlı ve güvenilir sonuçlar yaratmalarını sağlayabilecek bir uzmanla çalışma ihtiyacı artmaktadır.
Şu anda içinde bulunduğunuz yer, size özeldir. Aynı şekilde, ulaşmaya çalıştığınız yer de size özgüdür. Dolayısıyla, birinden diğerine geçme süreciniz de size özgü olmalıdır. Bir bütün olarak kendinizi ve ihtiyaçlarınızı tanıdığınızda mutluluk ve başarı doğal olarak ilerler, kendi yolunu bulur.
GroWithin, hayatınızdaki tüm alanlarda daha kısa sürede daha iyi sonuçlar yaratmak için farkındalık, düşünme ve eylem becerilerinizi geliştirerek çalışır.
Bazen ilerlemek için neye ihtiyacımız olduğunu tam olarak bilemeyiz ve bu ihtiyaç danışmanlık süreci içerisinde şekillenir. Bazen de bir geçiş aşamasında olabilir, yaşamınızda belli başlı şeyleri değiştirmek niyeti taşıyabilirsiniz. Ya da sadece mola vermeye ve yarattığınız, ulaştığınız, bıraktığınız veya deneyimlediğiniz şeyleri takdir edip bundan sonra ne deneyimlemek istediğinize karar vermek niyetindesinizdir.
Hem iç hem dış dünyanızı keşfetmek ve öz farkındalığınızı arttırarak netlik kazanmak ve sonrasında size özel ve benzersiz yetkinlik, deneyim ve potansiyellere odaklanarak eylemlerde bulunmak GroWithin’le mümkün.
Process
The counselling process at GroWithin is collaborative, always acknowledging the fact that clients have innate wisdom.
It supports the emotional, logical, relational and creative sides of the clients.
It offers clients the opportunity to rediscover themselves, to learn from the past, and to reflect on what they truly want going forward.
It creates space for clients to think about what is important to them in their life, what makes them happy, what isn't working, and an effective change strategy.
GroWithin incorporates the professional behaviours and practices required by the British Sociological Association (BSA) and the Career Development Institute (CDI) Code of Ethics, of which the founder Dr. Seda Akçakoca is a member, into all processes, and adheres to professional standards of conduct. In addition, the principles of professional coaching programs of Erickson and Adler schools accredited by the International Coaching Federation and the ICF Basic Competence Model updated by the federation are also included in the processes.
The principles of accessibility, confidentiality, equality, impartiality, transparency and reliability are actively adopted throughout the entire process, starting with the discovery meeting.
During the counselling process, direct communication is made with the clients through a mobile application that technically makes it possible to apply these principles. With end-to-end encryption via the HIPAA* compliant mobile application brought by the new generation counselling approach, groWithin provides securely online chat with clients, ease of sharing documents and science-based special exercises and activities with clients without the hassle of sending and returning by e-mail, and uses all opportunities such as many more entertaining, instructive, educational materials.
*HIPAA is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act 1996. It is a United States federal law that protects patients' privacy and health records.
Merhaba ve burada olduğunuz için teşekkür ederim,
Arkama akıl ve bilimi alarak akademik kariyerimde uzun yıllar yol aldım. Ancak, başarı ve mutluluğun her zaman doğru orantılı ilerleyemeyebileceğini, sadece zihin odaklı bir kariyerin hayatımın bütün alanlarını işgal ettiğini fark ettim.
Stresi yönetmenin sadece “yapabilirim” ya da “her şey mümkün” tavrını benimsemekten daha fazlası olduğunu keşfettim. Zihinlerimiz, bedenlerimiz ve çevremiz arasındaki bağlantıyı araştırmaya başladım.
Kendimi sadece bilime değil içsel gelişimime adadığımda artık dış dünyam da yaptığım bütün içsel çalışmaları yansıtmaya başladı ve GroWithin doğdu.
GroWithin’i kurdum, çünkü başkalarına katkı sağlamak konusunda tutkuluyum. Bir danışman olarak GroWithin’deki çalışmalarım, akademik ve profesyonel deneyimimin kapsamı ve derinliği ile zenginleşiyor.
Hayatınızı oluşturan öğeler ve roller arasında seçim yapmak zorunda kalmadan, zihin, beden ve kalbinize keyif veren deneyimler, dengeleyiciler ve yardımcılar oluşturmanızda destek olmak için buradayım.
GroWithin, danışanların kendilerini keşfetmeleri ve öz farkındalıklarını arttırarak netlik kazanmalarını ve sonrasında onlara özel yetkinlik, deneyim ve potansiyellerine odaklanarak güçlenmelerini hedef almaktadır. Danışanların hem iç hem de dış dünyalarını keşfederek, bunlarla tutarlı eylemlerde bulunabilmeleri için sistemler ve stratejiler oluşturarak ilerlemelerinde onlara destek olur.

I know how that feels, because I’ve dealt with the same things myself!
My journey in academia, while intellectually stimulating, took a toll on my stress levels and nervous system. The high demands for research, teaching, and securing tenure often triggered a prolonged stress response in me, leading to anxiety, insomnia, and fatigue. The work-life balance was also a struggle, resulting in chronic stress and burnout.
Despite my progress in my academic career, I realized that success doesn't always equate to happiness.
This revelation led me to explore beyond the academic realm, focusing on the interconnectedness of our minds, bodies, and surroundings.
In my journey, I've learned that managing stress isn't just about a positive mindset, but understanding and harmonizing all aspects of our lives.

Education
For nearly 20 years, I have been improving the quality of students' learning, teaching and assessment experiences within the scope of various academic, researcher and other professional roles I have undertaken at different educational institutions in Turkey, Europe and the UK. I am passionate about providing the best possible experience for every student by connecting the worlds of education and career. The interactive essence of work, profession and career has been shaping my academic and professional career choices since my undergraduate years. As a social scientist and coach trained in career and employment sociology, organizational behaviour and analysis, gender and business, I use a combination of career theories and philosophies to offer a holistic approach to responding to diverse student needs. By holding one-on-one sessions with over a thousand students and alumni, I developed an impartial, confidential and inclusive information, advice and guidance service in line with the Practice Principles, and now I share these experiences on GroWithin. By providing flexible, practical, meaningful and technologically enriched career services, I am happy to contribute to the orientation of students at different education and training levels, from high school to doctoral degrees, towards professions and business lines that are compatible with them.

Throughout my career, I have been involved in various academic and professional projects on employment, career development, career/job identity, and organizational culture and inequalities. As a social scientist and coach trained in career and employment sociology, organizational behaviour and analysis, gender and business, I developed practical methods for the desired outcome of individuals' career choices and development. While doing these, I offer different development suggestions for each individual, specific to their essence and the life and work environment they are surrounded by, taking into account the well-being of each individual.

Stress Management
We are empowered when we have the autonomy to reshape our mind-body system. Interventions to be made in the light of the right information can make you feel at home in your own body over time. By completing the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Vagus Nerve Programmes along with Polyvagal-Informed Certificate, I can now share a series of physical and mental practices and tools that can be applied in stress management in line with the needs of my clients.
Calming down is not the same as regulating the nervous system. A healthy nervous system is not always calm; it is flexible. The more “flexible” your vagus nerve is, the faster it will recover from your stress response, the less overwhelmed you will be with your emotions, and the less triggered you will be by the situations you encounter.
The vagus nerve is the epicentre of the mind-body system and works differently in each person. When you realize how your vagus nerve works, it begins to respond to your stressors in a very different way, and you can regulate your nervous system more effectively.

The dictionary meaning of empowerment is making (someone) stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life and claiming their rights. It is about having the knowledge, confidence, means, or ability to do things or make decisions for oneself. I am passionate about working with women of all ages who want to tap into their strengths and embrace their full potential. Inspiring women to lead confidently, stand up straight, and hold their own authentic space is a process that feeds me a lot. In my academic research, I have witnessed that women struggle a lot to prove themselves worthy of prescribed gender roles and fight against gender stereotypes, especially when making career decisions. As journalist and writer Anna Quindlen puts it, “The really difficult and truly magnificent thing is to stop being perfect and start working on being yourself.”
In line with your needs, we can focus on the following sample topics and much more, aiming for you to enjoy a more balanced and more harmonious life with your essence, with various tools and applications:
-
liberation from your toxic beliefs and patterns
-
developing self-love and respect, setting healthy boundaries
-
ability to manage relationships
-
stress management
