Reclaim Your Confidence, Peace and Purpose.
ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in Denmark and have lived in the UK for the past 25 years. Before training as a Life Coach, I spent 20 years teaching in primary schools, where I developed a deep passion for the Growth Mindset theory pioneered by Professor Carol Dweck. I saw first hand how students’ attitudes towards learning transformed when they embraced this way of thinking, and the principle of equipping yourself with a “toolbox” of life strategies continues to guide everything I do today.
Coaching became my next chapter after recovering from breast cancer. When I finished active treatment, I soon recognised that the kind of support people need when they “come out the other side” is often missing. From my own experience, I know how lonely and overwhelming it can feel to rebuild a sense of self after breast cancer. Many are discharged with little guidance and are left to navigate a sudden medical menopause, and everyday responsibilities on their own. Searching for the right help can be exhausting at a time when energy is already in short supply.
As a Life Coach, I unpick all of this with you. My approach is one-to-one, holistic and tailored to your individual needs. Together, we explore the areas of your life where you would like to develop. We uncover where you may feel “stuck,” and create meaningful goals to move you towards a happier, healthier and more confident you. I offer both guidance and challenge, encouraging you to step outside your comfort zone, explore new possibilities and reclaim a sense of empowerment and control.
Reflection and self-work are central to the process, and while only you can create lasting change, I am here to support and encourage you every step of the way.
WHY ME?
We all have moments in life where we feel lost and need a helping hand in finding the path that’s right for us. At no point does this become more significant than when you are in recovery from breast cancer. You have conquered your illness and yet, the mountain in front of you seems impossible to climb.
And why would you climb a mountain on your own?
As a coach who has experienced breast cancer, my role is to encourage you to step into a fuller, stronger version of yourself and to coach you towards achieving your goals. It is never too late - I promise.
Coaching is not counselling; it is a solution-focussed process where we uncover insights and identify barriers that may have held you back. It is a partnership, working together to help you reclaim your power and take control of your direction, your behaviours, and your thinking.
“Her own experience of breast cancer is very helpful, Anja just ‘gets it’ and was able to skilfully provide in the moment feedback and observation from a more neutral perspective and had some very helpful suggestions for me to consider.”
MY COACHING PHILOSOPHY
My coaching style is gentle and supportive. While my priority is to challenge you and help you move forward, I will always ensure that you feel safe and comfortable. I understand that talking about your experience with breast cancer can bring up strong emotions, and I approach these conversations with sensitivity and care.
I am a firm believer in personal growth and in the power of mindset to transform lives. I often draw on the principles of Growth Mindset and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, weaving them into my coaching to help you unlock new perspectives, build resilience, and create lasting change.
“Mindset change is not about picking up a few pointers here and there. It's about seeing things in a new way”
