One-to-one coaching with Nour Al Hassan, an ICF Professional Certified Coach based in Dubai, in person at Meydan or online, in English or Arabic. Executive and leadership work, personal and career coaching, and team coaching for leadership groups. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute conversation to find out whether the fit is right.
Work on the things that do not fit in a management course: holding your judgement under pressure, deciding without full information, the gap between how you think you land and how you actually land. Sessions are structured but not scripted, and the agenda is yours.
For a transition that has stalled, a decision that keeps getting deferred, or the sense that the shape of your life stopped matching what you want from it. The work is practical. You leave each session with something you have actually decided.
Relocation, redundancy, a promotion that turned out to be the wrong one, or a move between industries. Clearer thinking about what you are optimising for, then a plan you can defend to yourself six months from now.
Coaching the team as a unit rather than its members one at a time: how decisions really get made, what goes unsaid in the room, and where the friction is structural rather than personal. Delivered by an accredited EMCC team coach.
ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC)
Founder, Kintsugi Dubai
Eight years of executive coaching practice, with a background in psychology from the University of British Columbia. Nour works with leaders, founders and high-performing professionals on leadership development, emotional intelligence and sustainable resilience. Her approach pairs reflective depth with strategic execution, which in practice means the session goes somewhere real and you leave with something you can act on.
She founded Kintsugi Dubai and designs both the coaching and the experiential work that sits alongside it. She has led kintsugi workshops across Europe and Asia, including Romania and Sri Lanka, and co-designed an ICF-registered training programme that teaches other coaches to bring experiential methods into their own practice.
Sessions run in Arabic or English, in person at the studio at Meydan or by video anywhere in the world. The first thirty minutes are free and exist so you can decide whether the fit is right before anything is booked.
Alongside the one-to-one practice, the coaches run leadership sessions, team programmes and facilitated workshops for organisations in the UAE and abroad, including:
Google · Accenture · American Express · World Economic Forum · Novartis · AstraZeneca · Maersk · Mars · Hilton · Shiseido · bp · Mubadala · National Grid · Philip Morris · ServiceNow · Loewe · Giorgio Armani Fragrances · Repossi · Abrahamic Family House · Dubai Watch Week · Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival
The same people who facilitate those rooms take the one-to-one clients. If you want the corporate side rather than individual coaching, the corporate events page covers team formats and pricing.
A single 60-minute session is AED 500. A package of five is AED 2,250, which is ten percent off. The first conversation is a complimentary 30-minute chemistry call, and there is no obligation after it. Team and organisational work is quoted per engagement.
The method is much the same; the subject is not. Executive coaching works on how you lead: decisions, pressure, influence, the version of you that shows up in a difficult room. Life coaching works on the shape of your life outside the job title. Most people arrive wanting one and find the two are harder to separate than they expected, which is fine, because the same coach handles both.
The International Coaching Federation is the main global accrediting body for coaching, a field that is otherwise unregulated and that anyone can claim to practise. Its credentials go ACC, then PCC, then MCC, each requiring more supervised training and more logged client hours. This practice holds two PCCs and one MCC, and Nicoleta additionally holds EMCC Senior Practitioner and accredited Team Coach status.
No. Therapy works largely with the past and with diagnosis and treatment; coaching works with the present and with what you want to do next, and coaches do not diagnose or treat. The two sit well together and plenty of people do both. If something surfaces in a session that belongs with a therapist, your coach will tell you and can point you to one.
Both. In person at the studio at Meydan Grandstand in Dubai, or by video anywhere. Clients based outside the UAE work with the practice remotely, and plenty of Dubai clients mix the two depending on the week.
Five to ten is the common shape, spread fortnightly over three to six months. Some arrive with one decision to make and need three. Others stay on a standing session for years. Nothing is locked in: the package of five exists because it is the usual rhythm, not because it is required.
Thirty minutes, free, with no preparation needed. You describe what brought you, the coach asks about what you want to be different, and you both decide whether this is the right fit. It is a real conversation rather than a sales call, and it is entirely normal to end it by deciding not to continue.
Yes. Sessions run in Arabic or English, and clients often move between the two inside the same hour.
Kintsugi is the Japanese practice of repairing broken ceramics with gold so the break stays visible instead of being hidden, and it is the idea this practice is built on: what happened to you is not something to disguise. For most coaching clients it stays an idea. For some, the coach brings the physical craft into the work, because repairing something with your hands makes an abstract conversation about failure concrete in a way talking rarely does.
