What Is Behavioural Coaching?

Behavioural coaching is grounded in health psychology and behavioural science.

It helps you understand:

• Why certain habits stick

• Why others don’t

• How stress, emotions, environment and identity shape your behaviour

• What actually helps change feel easier, not harder

​

It’s not about willpower, motivation, or “trying harder.” It’s about building repeatable habits supported by the right mindset, structure, and emotional balance.​

I help you translate knowledge into action — and action into consistent, lasting routines.

 

How Real Change Happens

Lasting change is about:

• Understanding your patterns

• Working with (not against) your brain and nervous system

• Simplifying your routines

• Creating steps that build confidence

• Setting up your environment for success

• Building habits that fit your real life

• Having support when things feel hard

​

My role is to help you stay focused, confident, and consistent — so the things that matter most become part of your everyday life.

​

How My Approach Is Different

There are many coaches, PTs, and wellbeing programs out there.
What makes my approach different is a decade of work in behavioural science, health psychology, and evidence-based research.

​

I draw on:

• Over 10 years in academia, working across behaviour change, chronic disease prevention, and health psychology

• A PhD in Education (Health Psychology focus) from the University of Newcastle

• Two Master’s degrees in Psychology 

• Experience designing, evaluating, and supporting health behaviour change programs for diverse populations

• Published research in top journals, including Preventive Medicine, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Psychology, Health & Medicine, International Journal of Behavioral Medicine, Psychiatry Research, and Journal of Physical Activity and Health

 

This means every strategy I use is grounded in evidence — not trends, fads, or guesswork.
But the way I coach is warm, down-to-earth, and practical.

Together, we make science feel human.​
