What if you’ve been Okay all along?

Okayness begins from the position that I’m OK, You’re OK. Our behaviors and patterns may need to change, but our human worth is not in question. From this position, we can meet ourselves and others with Curiosity, Respect and Openness to change.

For whom

For people who know something has to change

Okayness is for adults who are ready to stop living on autopilot and start facing what is actually shaping their lives.

01

Professionals who want to communicate better, lead better, and stop repeating the same patterns.

02

For people who feel stuck, disconnected, overlooked, or trapped between who they are and who they know they can become.

03

For leaders, educators, entrepreneurs, and teams who want real conversations and healthier dynamics.

04

For those who are done with surface-level advice and ready for work that is practical, personal, and real.

A space to be seen, challenged, and supported,without judgment.

Conversations centered on the Elephant In The Room and the Okayness we often forget.

Meet Zak

Zak is a Transactional Analysis practitioner, coach, and educator who helps people understand the patterns shaping their lives, strengthen their relationships, and reclaim greater awareness, choice, and autonomy.

His work is grounded in Co-Creative Transactional Analysis, where change begins with a clear contract and grows through an Adult-to-Adult relationship. Together, coach and client create the conditions for authentic contact, curiosity, and exploration, making it possible to question old survival patterns, make new decisions, and integrate more life-affirming ways of being.

What changes when the work becomes real

Transformation is not about fixing yourself. It is about starting from Okayness, unlearning what once helped you survive, and choosing more authentic ways of living and relating.

Zack helped me better understand myself and work through the issues I was facing. With his knowledge and experience, he guided me throughout this journey and helped me become a better person. His approach is unique: he draws on different schools of thought to understand each situation from multiple angles and work…

Zak has had a huge impact on my life. A year ago, I did not believe in myself and was unaware of my potential. I often sought approval through people-pleasing, even when it left me unhappy and drained. Zak saw through that, believed in me, and guided me to see that I am more than those patterns. He helped me rebuild…

Ramella Tahmeyan

Before working with Zak, I felt like I was surviving more than living. I carried confusion and fear, and had lost touch with who I truly was. Through our work together, I did not just learn tools, I began to understand myself. I became aware of patterns I had never noticed, started healing parts of myself, and…

Zak helped me make sense of things and gave me a tool to deal with difficult situations at a time when I needed it most. His guidance and support helped me maintain my sanity and move through a challenging period.

Raffi Domenian

Before I met Zak, I had many unanswered questions about myself. I looked for clarity through substances and external experiences, believing the answers had to come from outside of me. A friend referred me to Zak when I was ready to question how I had been thinking. He did not simply give me answers; he challenged the…

Joseph Khalil

After feeling lost, stuck in survival mode, and unsure of my purpose, a friend recommended that I try one-on-one sessions with Zak. I was initially skeptical and nervous, but his comforting presence made it easier to open up from our first meeting. What stood out was his ability to connect how I act, behave, and feel…

Raoul Saber

I came to Zak while I was stuck in grief, living with fear, and chasing a dream while my mindset was not aligned with reality. I chose to seek support because, regardless of what I had experienced in life, I did not want to pass it on to my daughter. What stood out most was Zak's analytical mind and gentle approach,…

Nora Tahmeyan

I reached out to Zak at a time when I felt I was losing control of myself and needed guidance. After hearing about his work through my cousin and seeing her growth, I felt encouraged to begin my own journey. I had seen several therapists before, but Zak was the first person who knew how to work with me and help…

Rouba El Feghaly

I was feeling stuck and overwhelmed, dealing with constant self-doubt and inconsistent focus across my work and personal goals. I needed structure, a clear and objective perspective, and support in navigating performance pressure and building mental resilience. Zak does not waste time on fluff. He helps break down…

Rodrigue Maalouf

I first met Zak through two close friends, without knowing much about him or self-development. At the time, I did not feel I had major issues, but I also had little awareness of myself and the areas I could work on. I began with Personal Leadership, a 10-month group coaching journey that became one of the most…

You knew before
you could name it

The ways you protect yourself, communicate, lead, or hold back did not appear by accident. Many began as early decisions that once helped you cope but may no longer serve the life you want now.

Becoming Again Program is a hybrid group coaching program that helps you recognise these patterns, understand the roles you keep stepping into, and make more conscious choices in the here and now.

It is for people ready to move beyond insight alone and practise a different way of living.
