Overview
Your habits don't exist in isolation. Neither should your coaching.
Health, habits, food, work, relationships, spirituality and mental wellbeing don’t exist separately and that is why when one part of life becomes difficult, it often spills into the others. What looks like a problem with motivation, discipline, or consistency may have very little to do with any of them.
Katja’s approach to coaching is about understanding the whole picture before deciding what needs to change. Together with Katja, you identify what is creating the most friction, separate urgent problems
from background noise, realign priorities, and turn overwhelming goals into realistic steps.
Katja combines holistic lifestyle coaching with nutrition education and a strong interest in psychology, neurodivergence, and eating behaviour. There is no expectation of a perfect routine, perfect diet,
or perfectly organised life. The goal is to build something that actually works for you.
Credentials
Trained, tested, and re-certified. Not self-declared.

Association of accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists and Hypnotherapists. Awarded July 2026.

Certified Nutritionist accredited by IICT and CMA

“Food does not exist separately from stress, finances, culture, executive functioning, family, work, mental wellbeing or our history with our bodies. Telling someone what they "should" eat is relatively easy. Understanding why they aren't doing it, or why doing it might actually make their relationship with food worse, is much more interesting.”
How Sessions Work
What working with Katja looks like
1.
Where we are
A first session where we understand why you are here, set a goal, and create an initial direction for our work together.
2.
The Whole Picture
Using a holistic approach, we explore different areas of your lifestyle and identify patterns, obstacles, and connections.
3.
Priority Goals
We build goals around your actual capacity rather than an imaginary version of you who has unlimited time, energy, and motivation.
4.
Ongoing Support and Adjustments
As life changes, the plan needs to be allowed to change with it.
5.
Nutrition support
This is not another set of rules but a structure to help you understand nutrition that you don’t have to depend on somebody else’s plan.

In Their Words
What it's actually like to work with David.
“I went to him for coaching about starting my freelance career and he balanced really attentive listening with insightful observations and gentle challenges which really helped me clarify my thinking and take action.”

About Katja
Why psychology and neurodivergence matter to me
I am deeply interested in psychology and neurodivergence because behaviour rarely makes sense when we look at it in isolation.
Procrastination can look like laziness. Emotional eating can look like a lack of discipline. Inconsistency can look like a lack of motivation. But labels don’t explain mechanisms.
Understanding executive functioning, reward, emotional regulation, learned behaviour, environment and coping strategies can completely change how we approach the same problem.
This doesn’t mean turning coaching into therapy or trying to diagnose people. It means recognising that different brains and different histories may require different strategies.
Experience first.
Education alongside it.
My experiences with weight, disordered eating, addiction, major life changes and trying to find my place in different environments inevitably influence the coach I have become. But lived experience alone doesn’t make someone qualified to advise others.
That distinction matters to me.
My experiences made me curious. Education gave me better tools to investigate those questions. Continuing education keeps reminding me how much more there is to learn.
I am not a coach who completed a certification once and decided that meant I had finished learning. I want my work to continue evolving alongside the evidence, my education and the people I work with.
Because understanding people is complicated. And that’s exactly what makes it worth studying.
Start with a conversation, not a commitment.
A discovery call to find out exactly what’s in the way and whether working together is the right fit.
