Reclaim Your Confidence, Peace and Purpose.
ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in Denmark and have lived in the UK for 25 years. Prior to becoming a Life Coach, I was a teacher for 20 years with a particular interest in supporting children with neurodiversity. Throughout my teaching career I was an advocate for and a great believer in promoting the power of the growth mindset. The idea of equipping yourself with a toolbox of life strategies underpins everything that I do.
After recovering from breast cancer myself, I took the leap to retrain and become a Life Coach. From a young age, I was fascinated by psychology and having been an Elite gymnast for 15 years, goal setting and personal development are always at the forefront of my mind.
When I finished active treatment, I soon recognised that what women need when they ‘come out the other side’ doesn’t really exist! From firsthand experience, I know that regaining a sense of self after cancer can feel lonely and overwhelming. Women are discharged with little support and often they are passed from pillar to post. They may find themselves in a sudden medical menopause and searching for the relief they need takes up time and effort while they are coping with side effects and everyday life.
As a coach, I do this work with you, and I offer a one-to-one, holistic and tailored approach where you are encouraged to identify areas of your life that you would like to develop. In our sessions, you will receive advice and be offered direction on how to own your recovery and reclaim your confidence. I work with my clients to establish where they are ‘stuck’ and together we set goals for moving towards a happier and healthier you. Throughout the course I challenge you to step out of your comfort zone, and I encourage you to explore new paths that will make you feel empowered and in control. There will be lots of time for reflection and homework because only you can change your life, but I am there to support you all 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 come through a cancer diagnosis. 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 gone through breast cancer, I will guide you and support you in the areas where you wish to evolve. My role is to encourage you to step into the greater version of you and to coach you towards achieving your goals. It is never too late, I promise!
Coaching is not counselling but instead a solution focused process where we uncover insights and barriers which may have hindered your progress in life. It is a partnership where we work towards you finding your own power and the place where you are in 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 and while my priority is to challenge you and help you move forward; I will always make sure that you feel comfortable. I know that talking about your experience of breast cancer can trigger emotions, so these conversations are handled sensitively.
I am a strong advocate for personal growth and I believe that anyone can change and live a fulfilled life by changing their mindset. You will find that I talk a lot about The Growth Mindset and the theory behind this is woven into everything that I do.
“Mindset change is not about picking up a few pointers here and there. It's about seeing things in a new way”
