How others have benefitted from CoachAmal...

My name is Amal Stapley, the founder of CoachAmal. I’m a UK based international Muslim Life and Transition Coach and I've worked with women from around the world. I've coached clients through many different transitions, supporting them to achieve more than many of them ever dreamed of; some after only one or two sessions, others taking longer as they had bigger dreams and wanted to achieve more, had different starting points, or just felt that they would like continued support!

Just a few of the success stories include:

  • Sisters around the world who have reconnected deeply with Islam and the Qur’an 

  • A woman in Africa who realised that her marriage was worth saving and, rather than running away from it, worked out how to save it

  • A Bosnian sister who went from suffering post-war depression to setting up a business to help local women

  • A woman in the Middle East who decided to build a positive life for herself, instead of pining away over a man...and then won the heart of the man!

  • Women who stopped procrastinating and got down to writing the book, the PhD thesis, exercising, changing career... that they had been finding excuses to put off for ages

And many, many others who learned to smile again and hold their heads up high!

 

But you don’t just have to believe me; you can read what some of the sisters have said themselves:

Enabled me to become a better Muslim

“The coaching I received from Amal helped me to refocus my goals and as a result enabled me to become a better Muslim. I had a very difficult challenge that really made me feel unsure, confused, desperate and with no self confidence. However, from the very first coaching session I had with Amal, I was able to refocus myself and thereby re-evaluate my priorities and begin the plan to aid me in reaching my true goals and self. 

I truly looked forward to our sessions, because her positive reinforcement, non-judgemental, clear thinking gave me the road map to help get myself to where I wanted to be and how to get there. For example, goal setting was a very big challenge to me. However, Amal helped me break down the task, create a reasonable timeline and helped me stay on task. When I had completed the project using her help, I felt so elated at having done it! 

As a result of her coaching, I am happier with myself, have redefined my goals and priorities and have the confidence to try new avenues that I would not have otherwise. I am very grateful for the time I had with Amal and know that she is always there whenever I may need her guidance.”

I can break that cycle and move ahead  

“I feel I've been blessed with the opportunity to have had LifeCoaching with Sister Amal.  Before I spoke with her, every day repeated the previous day with no further achievements. But now I feel I can break that cycle and move ahead. She showed me that by taking them one step at a time that I can accomplish more and make my life more beneficial for myself and those around me. I thank Allah for giving me this opportunity.”

Helped me to identify the root of the problem

“I knew that there was something missing in my life; an emptiness that I was not able to fill. Amal helped me to clearly identify the root of the problem by compartmentalising and by staying focussed.

I truly feel I was able to cope due to the goals I had accomplished since coaching

"It's been just over a year that I've been coached by Amal, and Alhamdulillah I have achieved and experienced many great things in my life and have also along the way faced some very hard times which I truly feel I was able to cope with due to the goals I had accomplished since coaching.

Before coaching, I feel I had no proper focus in my life, I knew where I wanted to go but was just unsure how to actually get there or the steps I need to take to move towards them - and to know what exactly I wanted to move towards! I feel now I am more focussed in life, and know that I have to not make excuses for not achieving and I know that it is only myself that can make my life what I want it to be - I have to do the hard work and I have to face my challenges - CoachAmal has been there to help me on this path and provided me with the tools to facilitate this journey.

Naming just a few of my accomplishments: I am now more closer to my family members as compared to before, I perform my sunnah prayers and read the Quran on a more regular basis - Alhamdulillah I was blessed to perform Umrah last year and then was invited by Allah SWT to perform Hajj! Currently I am working on joining a Quran Tajweed class and to pursue my Islamic studies. I hope to continue strengthening my emaan and I pray to become a better Muslim and not to live my life as an ordinary person, but to be someone amazing and please my Creator."
