Working with Christoffer has genuinely shifted the way I relate to myself and to the people around me. I’ve spent years feeling misunderstood — especially in my family — and falling into old patterns of withdrawing, overthinking, and trying to protect myself from criticism.
I knew I was doing it, but I couldn’t fully break the cycle on my own.
What surprised me most is how quickly he understood the deeper layers of what I was reacting to — the emotional invalidation I grew up with, the way I tense up inside when I feel criticised, and the pressure I’ve always put on myself to “get it right.” Instead of giving me generic advice, he helped me see the real root of my reactions with a clarity I’ve never had before.
The shifts have been real:
I feel more grounded in conversations, less triggered by old family dynamics, and way more connected to my own emotional truth. I’m catching patterns I used to be blind to, and replacing them with responses that actually feel healthy and empowering. Even my closest relationships have started to feel calmer and more open.
If you’re someone who’s done the reading, done the courses, worked with mentors and psychologists — and still felt like something deeper wasn’t clicking — Christoffer is the person you want. He’s helped me access a level of understanding and emotional presence I’ve been trying to reach for years.
Highly recommend if you want honest, meaningful, lasting change.

Chris was an incredible, active listener. He helped me to understand, to challenge, and to rationalise my own views and mindset. Chris created a safe environment to be authentic and open up. I highly recommend Chris to anyone who is searching for validation of your feelings and wanting to work out what your next step is. We achieved a way forward for me and a lot quicker than I thought! Excellent experience. More...

Before working with Chris I was drifting through life without much purpose or clarity; on a personal and professional level.
Chris has become my rudder, putting me back on course. He’s done so with a delicate touch, empowering me to make my own discoveries and draw my own conclusions, always by my side if I need him.
I feel equipped to overcome life’s obstacles without being derailed, as I continue to pursue the things in life that truly matter to me.
Through our work together and the deep connection we’ve cultivated, I’m dreaming again.

Life Coaching
Chris simply put, is amazing at what he does. He brings a great balance of empathy coupled with logic, both when developing strategies from a business point of view, as well as personal.
Because of his approach, Chris is able to drive balance through providing context and clarity which leaves the individual with a new toolbox around problem solving and new ways of thinking.
I highly recommend Chris to anyone who is committed and willing to put in the work when it comes to furthering their business or personal life.

Where do I start…I don’t think a written review can do any justice to the coaching service I received from Chris. My life was very complex, having just gone through a difficult divorce and trying to find my feet again, in work and life. Chris stood alongside me as my coach, but more importantly, he gave me unwavering support to help me navigate the challenges that life was throwing at me. For the first time in my life, I feel truly capable of handling anything that comes my way and Chris has been instrumental in my success. I am grateful for his patience, guidance and support. More...

Chris has that rare and precious knack of giving you full presence. Really tuning into your energy and mindset. The way he coaches is how he shows up in life: thoughtful, considered, caring and the questions he asks reflect this respect for whoever he's working with. I can see how his life and business experience has given him an ability to meet people where they're at and talk to anyone. I find it really beneficial to talk through what's on my mind and him ask me some intuitive killer questions which then help me find clarity and work out my own answers. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love creating a space where people can finally understand what’s really going on beneath the surface — and begin to shift it with practical tools and lasting emotional clarity.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I believe everyone deserves to feel at peace, enjoy harmonious relationships, and live in alignment with their integrity and purpose. Supporting others on this journey has always felt like my calling.
Why should our clients choose you?
If you’ve ever felt like your emotions are running the show, or that you keep repeating the same patterns no matter how hard you try to change — you’re not alone. I’ve worked with people from all walks of life who’ve felt stuck, overwhelmed, reactive, or disconnected from themselves.
What makes my approach different is that we don’t just talk about the problem — we work with what’s underneath it. Together, we uncover the real drivers behind your emotional patterns, build the tools to shift them, and create change that actually lasts.
Clients often tell me they feel clearer, calmer, more confident — not because life got easier, but because they got stronger. If you're ready to feel more in control, more connected, and more like yourself again, this is the work.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I use TEAMS for online sessions. I'm also available in person or over the phone.

Break Free from Suffering – Rediscover Your True Self
Life can feel heavy when you’re stuck in patterns of stress, doubt, or emotional struggle.
If you’re tired of being held back by limiting beliefs and ready to move beyond suffering, I’m here to guide you.
Through my Secure Self Method, you’ll learn to quiet the mental noise, break free from self-imposed limits, and reconnect with your authentic self.
This structured approach focuses on building a strong, secure sense of self, helping you break old patterns, find clarity, and create a life that feels deeply fulfilling.
I provide a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can explore what’s truly holding you back, so you can move forward with confidence, purpose, and peace.
Ready to move beyond suffering and live from a place of strength and clarity?
Let’s connect and take the first step together.
Motivational Speaking
What if emotional discomfort isn’t something to fix — but something to follow?
I’m a trauma-informed therapist and coach and speaker who challenges people to stop outsourcing their emotional lives to the world around them — and instead take radical ownership.
My talks combine personal story with deep insight drawn from years of coaching, counselling, and walking this work myself. I teach one powerful idea:
Emotional responsibility is power.
In a world that teaches us to numb, scroll, escape, or perform — I guide audiences to do the opposite: to lean in, feel it, and move through it. We live our lives reacting to discomfort — avoiding feelings, hard conversations, the gym, the truth. I speak to the freedom that comes when we stop running and start facing.
This isn’t a cheerleader keynote. It’s a wake-up call — delivered with warmth, honesty, and humour.
My message is simple but confronting: you don’t need another fix, you need a process. And I’ll show you how.
Topics I Speak On:
Emotional Responsibility – why no one else is in charge of how you feel
The Freedom in Discomfort – building a life by doing the hard thing on purpose
From Triggered to Clear – how to turn emotional reactions into emotional intelligence
Leading Yourself First – internal leadership for real impact and alignment
Ideal For:
Workplace wellness & resilience programs
Leadership offsites and retreats
Coaching, therapy & self-development events
University or youth audiences navigating identity & emotion
