A Gentle Place for Healing and Self-Discovery
ABOUT ME
I was born and raised in Denmark and have lived in the UK for the past 25 years. Before becoming a life coach, I spent 20 years teaching in primary schools, where I developed a strong interest in the idea that the way we think can shape how we cope, learn and grow. That experience has shaped how I work today, with a focus on building confidence and resilience through small, steady steps
Coaching became my next chapter after my own experience of breast cancer. When active treatment ended, I realised how little support there often is for the emotional and practical side of adjusting to life afterwards. From personal experience, I understand how lonely and overwhelming it can feel to find your footing again. Many women are discharged from medical care while still navigating sudden menopause, changes in their bodies and the return to everyday responsibilities. Looking for the right support at that stage can feel exhausting.
My coaching offers a calm, one-to-one space where we gently explore what life looks like for you now and what might help you feel a little more at ease and more like yourself again. Together, we look at the areas where you may feel stuck, uncertain, or ready for change, and we consider small, meaningful steps forward at a pace that feels manageable.
Reflection is an important part of the process, and while change happens in your time, you won’t be doing it alone. I’ll be alongside you with encouragement, care, and practical support as you find your way forward.
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 myself, I offer a supportive space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself and what matters most to you now. Together, we’ll gently explore what feeling more like you again might look like, and take small, manageable steps in that direction. Change doesn’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful, and it’s never too late to begin.
Coaching is different from counselling. Rather than focussing on the past in depth, it is a forward-looking, supportive process. Our work together is collaborative, giving you space to explore your thoughts, feelings and challenges at a pace that feels right for you. Along the way, you’ll be supported to build self-trust and move towards what feels most important in this stage of your life.
“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, supportive and led by what feels right for you. At times, I may invite you to look at things from a new angle or take small steps forward, but your sense of safety and comfort always comes first. I understand that talking about your experience with breast cancer can bring up strong emotions and I approach these conversations with care, sensitivity and respect.
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.
