1:1 Coaching for Women in Leadership
Clarity. Confidence. Presence. On your terms.
You’ve worked hard to earn your place at the table. Now you’re navigating what it means to lead with ambition, grace, and an identity that doesn’t always mirror the room you’re in.
Are you ready to step in to power and purpose?
1:1 coaching designed for senior professional women who hold layered identities; leaders balancing purpose with professional expectation, motherhood with momentum, visibility with values
About Your Coach
A space for clarity, confidence and leadership that feels like you.
I created this practice for women who want to lead without leaving parts of themselves behind. Women with ambition, perspective, and layered identities navigating senior roles while holding space for who they are beyond the job title.
I'm Zahra [The Muslimah Coach], Corporate Professional, Identity, Wellness and Leadership coach, and mother. So believe me when I say, I get it.
My own journey has taken me through boardrooms and belief systems, spreadsheets and soft power. Along the way, I’ve learned that presence isn’t something you earn, it’s something you reclaim.
This space is about helping women do just that.
Here, coaching isn’t prescriptive. It’s reflective. A place to pause, re-centre, and move forward with intention—on your terms.
What I believe:
- Leadership begins with clarity; about who you are and how you show up.
- Confidence can be quiet, but it must be rooted.
- Balance is about protecting what matters.
- Identity, in all its complexity, is not a barrier to impact, it’s a strength.
If you're building a career that reflects both your purpose and your pace, you're in good company.
Welcome in.

TESTIMONIALS
What Are Our Clients Saying ?
I signed up for coaching with Zahra and I can’t recommend it enough. Zahra was so easy to relate to and open up with. She explained things very clearly using personal examples. As a mum of young children with a similar background, she understood my circumstances and why I found some aspects of emotional health difficult. She asked questions to deepen my understanding of myself and my emotions and let me take the lead. She doesn't give a one fit all plan, she sets personal targets/goals and let's you decide the best options you need to follow. I enjoyed how Zahra gets you to open up over the weeks and makes you comfortable. Each week she focused on a different aspect of emotional intelligence. From the first week she makes you realise how your mind works and handles different situations.
Sumaira, UAE
From the first week she makes you realise how your mind works, this was a great eye opener as she got me to question what areas are my strengths and weaknesses. We set measurable goals and she made me question how I can best get there. Zahra went over different negative emotions and their affect on our day to day lives. She questioned which ones affect me the most and gave some brilliant toolkit pointers. This got me to really think about what I am already doing to help myself and what I can do further to meet my goals. The sessions on people pleasing and creating boundaries were brilliant. The tips Zahra gave increased my confidence in drawing boundaries in relationships. She also made me realise I need to take small steps and I won't get to perfect straight away. The tips and knowledge she gave me were invaluable. I feel I am a much calmer individual and have Zahra to thank for that. My emotional health has improved greatly, I am already a happier person and am moving forward.
Eemaan, USA
It has been a great experience thus far! There are so many gems that you have shared with me that have been a source of healing. There are many actionable tools and steps that you have provided for me so far which I have been implemented right away.
I enjoyed setting goals that I know I've always wanted to tackle in many aspects of my life. These were not easy goals for me to set, but I guess that is the point. I am thankful alhamdulilah that we were also able to address some issues I've been dealing with right away and it felt relieving for me.
Nadia, UK
I was struggling to gain momentum in my career. Life changes had taken over and years had passed since a step up. I was tired of feeling burnt out and not performing to my potential. I didn't realise how much it was impacting my emotional energy and parenting until I took the leap to start coaching. Zahra helped me break through the barriers of limiting beliefs and within a year, I secured a senior position elsewhere.
