1. About This Website
This website provides information about The Essence Coaching & Consulting — its services, approach, and the work of its founder, Özlem. It is intended for informational purposes only and does not constitute coaching, consulting, therapy, medical, legal, or financial advice of any kind.
Coaching is a professional relationship that supports personal and professional growth. It is not a substitute for psychological treatment or medical care. If you are experiencing a mental health concern, please seek appropriate professional support.

Using this website, submitting a contact form, or scheduling a discovery call does not create a coaching or consulting relationship. A formal engagement only begins when both parties have signed a Working Agreement.
