Transformational Life Coach

About me

Hello, and welcome!

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed by life’s demands, or simply know it’s time for a change, you’re in the right place. Focused on personal growth, career development, and sports performance; whether you’re feeling lost in your career, struggling through a tough transition, or striving to reach a new level in your personal or athletic performance. Together, we’ll cut through the uncertainty and frustration to uncover what you genuinely want, giving you the clarity and confidence to move forward.

What to Expect in Our Life Coaching Sessions
I offer a practical, and humanistic space where you can speak openly without judgment. Many clients come in feeling unsure, battling self-doubt, or simply disconnected from their goals. Our coaching sessions are focused on helping you understand yourself, identify your unique strengths, and set a direction that aligns with your values, and genuinely feels right for you. This is about creating sustainable change.

Areas of Focus

Life Transitions Coaching –  Major life changes can feel overwhelming and uncertain, whether from new parenthood, navigating a breakup, relocating, career shifts, or starting a business. Together, we'll find stability, managing the stress; amid the change, understand your goals, and create a path forward that feels purposeful.

Performance & Mindset Coaching – For athletes and high-performers looking to sharpen mental resilience and break through performance plateaus, our work will focus on strategies to stay calm under pressure, recover from setbacks, and harness your mental strengths to reach new heights.

Self-Esteem and Confidence Coaching – Many struggle with self-doubt and the fear of failure. We’ll work on building self-trust, recognizing your true worth, and developing resilience so that setbacks don’t hold you back.

ADHD Coaching – Together, we’ll tackle the challenges of focus and organization, helping you build realistic strategies to work with your brain, not against it. With time, you’ll gain a sense of control and the ability to stay on track, even in high-demand situations.

Why Work with Me?
As a certified life coach, my goal is to help you make lasting changes that enhance your life and bring fulfilment, even if it might feel isolating right now. This is about working together to get from where you are now to where you want to be—building habits and mindsets that last a lifetime.

If you’re ready to move beyond where you are now, let’s connect. I offer a free 30-minute call so we can get to know each other and see if it’s a fit. Schedule here:

Testimonials

  • "I felt very supported and heard by Cristina, I liked her way of visualising the outcomes of the coaching process. The overall experience was very good. I felt that we were genuinely a very good match. Actually, I was surprised that there are coaches like Cristina out there.... I really liked her approach for different reasons. Maybe because she seems to have a good understanding of psychology and family dynamics."
  • "I've been able to find excitement in work again. I realized the blocks that were stopping me from moving forward on certain actions. I also realized values that were missing from my life- creativity.  I've been able to separate myself from my work after hours with the ritual we created to acknowledge the things that actually matter to me.  I've been putting the actions we design at the end of our sessions into my life. Even if I don't do them though, I still remember them. Like one of them was to remember I am powerful by standing in from of a certain mirror in my bedroom. I don't do that every day but when I am in front of that mirror, that's what I remember. I also went from being frustrated with co-workers and colleagues to being more kind and compassionate towards them."
  • "Cristina has helped me understand the reasons behind my thoughts, self image and find ways how to turn these thoughts into positive ones in order to improve my relationship with myself.  She has helped me identify the values that define me and supported me to introduce pure essence and fulfilment in my life!"
  • "Christina took me on a very powerful journey and I was able to see that I was holding on to some really negative and disabling thoughts. With Christina's help I was able to to leave them behind and move forward with my journey."
  • "I had a transformational journey with Cristina and what made it so effective for me was the level of trust in the space that Cristina beautifully created every time. I was fully heard. Cristina challenged me gently and in the right moments enabling me to see different perspectives that empowered me tremendously. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome! Thank you so much Cristina."

Workshops and Courses Feedback:

'Mindset at Work'  Workshop. Describe the experience in 3 words:

    • "Very positive, fulfilling and an educative experience"
    • "Interactive, engaging and positive"
    • "Refreshing, friendly and positive"
    • "Practical, Thought, Fun"
    • "Helpful for growth"
    • "Professional, very positive and helpful"
  • "In the group there was a nice sharing of experiences which felt judgement free. This helped me open up and consider my mindset and personal habits. The flow diagram & considering how we are enforcing negative & positive thoughts was very useful. Encouraging us to be honest and analyse an actual example of this in our lives was a really good exercise & helped me see how much the 'survival brain' takes over."
  • "Cristina was really helpful and lovely! I recommend her events wholeheartedly and as a newcomer to her coaching I am enthusiastic to hear more. I felt relaxed and welcome to take part during the session and sharing my own experience helped me appreciate the practical application of the ideas she taught us."
  • "Cristina was an engaging and knowledgeable coach who demonstrates to have experience in the field, I will definitely recommend!"

Identity, Mindset and Vision 5 Week Course

  • "It looks to be an excellent course and I am so pleased I opted for it. The course is clearly going to be emotionally hard, but I think very worthwhile and will leave me some useful tools to help both myself and others around me in future.

    Cristina, is extremely good. She puts in real effort to include all students, especially the quieter ones, constantly imparts genuine wisdom well beyond her years, and finds a way to make even a careless comment from a student move the debate usefully onwards without making the commenter feel they have made any kind of mistake. If only my teachers at school had been more like this!

    My fellow students all want to be there and are prepared to put lots in to get lots out.  The course is well run and informative. With the right balance of learning, interaction and exercises.  Really looking forward to next week!"

  • "The coach, Cristina, is very knowledgeable, competent, friendly and approachable. "
  • "The teacher was fantastic! Really pushed us to learn and think. Good exercises used in class. Great course!"
  • "Firstly I would like to say I have travelled from Brighton for this course which has been a 4 hour, sometimes more round trip for me and it has been worth every single second. This course has changed the direction of my life and I’m now about to start a new job which will be my first step into being an interior designer. Something in my wildest dreams I didn’t think would have happen 5 weeks ago when I signed up. Christina who run the course has for me gone above and beyond, to putting on thoughtful and knowledgeable lessons, even pushing us out of our comfort zone. Not only that but midway into the course I had gained the confidence to apply to jobs in the design industry and I was lucky enough to get a interview. Christina took her own time after the session to go through interview questions with me and give me advice for the interview, which I do believe using that advice is the reason I got the job. For that I will be forever thankful and grateful to her and I don’t have enough words to say how fantastic she has been."
