About Me
Katinka Blackford Newman PCC - Life Coach, Health Coach & Personal Trainer for high-achieving professionals
Most of my clients don't need more information.
They already know they should exercise more, eat better, set boundaries, have difficult conversations, apply for the promotion, leave the job, start the business, or put themselves back out there after divorce.
The problem isn't knowledge. It's getting unstuck.
I work with ambitious mid-life professionals who look successful on the outside but know they are capable of more. Some are struggling with burnout, weight gain, low energy, loss of confidence, relationship challenges or a growing sense that life no longer fits.
Others are navigating major transitions such as retirment, divorce, empty nest, career change or rebuilding after a difficult period.
My approach is unusual because I combine life coaching, health coaching and personal fitness training.
I believe lasting change happens when we work on both mind and body. When your energy improves, your confidence improves. When your confidence improves, better decisions follow.
Together we focus on the areas that matter most to you, which may include:
• Weight loss and improved fitness
• Better energy, sleep and health habits
• Greater confidence and self-belief
• Career progression, promotion or reinvention
• Mid-life dating and relationships
• Retirement planning and life after work
• Building a business or pursuing a long-held ambition
• Breaking patterns of overthinking, procrastination or people-pleasing
• Creating a life that feels fulfilling rather than simply busy
Before becoming a coach, I spent more than twenty years as an award-winning documentary filmmaker and journalist. My job was to understand people, identify what was really going on beneath the surface, and help make sense of complex situations.
Today I bring those same skills to coaching. I offer pure coaching session, PT sessions or a combination of both

I've just completed my 12-week Executive and Life Coaching course with Katinka. It's so interesting what you can learn about yourself when being guided by such an experienced and empathetic coach. I think about things so differently now - resetting the default behaviours and reactions, assessing the facts versus the story, it's all such fascinating stuff. It's not always easy, but often the best things are not without effort. I've had homework, I've had to provide (at my request, as I love some accountability) proof that I've done things I said I would do - it has been a collaborative effort to make me better! Katinka knows her stuff, and there's no question that anyone working with her will learn something, if not many things, about themselves and the way they act and think which will prove invaluable moving forward.

Katinka has helped me enormously in furthering my career as a consultant over the past 12 months and in focusing on priorities in other parts of my life. She has been transformational. As a coach, Katinka is insightful and focused. She worked with me consistently to help me understand what I want and how to achieve it. She has then provided clear action points to get me there. No detail or changing circumstance is a problem and Katinka has an uncanny knack of driving down to the root of each problem. I cannot recommend Katinka enough as a life and professional coach.

Katinka was the perfect coach just at the right time for me. As a new mum trying to juggle my business, career as a pro athlete and not miss my child grow up, it would have been easy to say I didn't have time for this, but Katinka's sessions were so helpful in helping me lean into the chaos and also be more intentional with my time. She helped me design my life, build confidence around what I do and accept the things I can't control. I love her no-BS, no-nonsense style of challenging me within the sessions and asking the right questions to make the most of our time together.

I would highly recommend Katinka as a coach she has been brilliant at helping me get over various obstacles and move forward with my business which is exactly what I wanted to achieve when embarking on my coaching journey. Katinka has helped me to become more self-aware which has enabled me to progress towards my goals much faster than I had anticipated. As well as this, Katinka has provided some excellent tools to help me manage my time better and ensure I remain focused on key tasks. Katinka has a warm and open approach which leads to a trusting coaching environment, while at the same time, providing accountability and the perfect amount of challenge.
