What we work on

Your coaching journey is tailored to your individual situation, but common themes include:

  • building sustainable daily habits

  • improving energy and resilience

  • nutrition and intuitive eating

  • stress management and nervous system balance

  • sleep quality and recovery

  • creating structure and accountability

The goal is to create a lifestyle that supports long-term wellbeing.

How coaching works

A structured process​

1. Clarity

We begin with a discovery conversation to understand your current lifestyle, habits and health goals.

2. Personalised Strategy

Together we design a practical strategy an personal plan that fits your daily life and priorities.

3. Implementation

Through regular coaching sessions we work on habit formation, behaviour change and consistent implementation. The focus is always on sustainable progress rather than perfection.

How I work

My work is based on behavioural science and practical coaching.

We focus on how change actually happens in your routines, environment and decision-making.

Core principles:

  • Behaviour change over advice

  • One focus at a time

  • Small, consistent actions

  • Ongoing evaluation and adjustment

  • Building self-efficacy and autonomy

Methodology:

I work with established models and theories such as:

  • BCT: Behaviour Change Techniques 

  • COM-B model: Capability, Opportunity, Motivation – Behaviour

  • Behaviour Change Wheel

  • GROW coaching framework

  • Motivational interviewing

  • Self-monitoring and structured reflection

  • Solution-focused coaching techniques

This approach allows me to understand not just what needs to change, but why it hasn’t changed yet and how to shift that in a sustainable way.
