Extraordinary well-Being
Your health and happiness are the results of everyday choices
About Me
Health & Wellbeing Coaching / Mentoring / Positive Psychology Practitioner / Low Carb, Ketogenic Diet, and No Sugar Diet Coaching and Mentoring / Holistic Approach to Health and Emotional Wellbeing
My name is Patrycja Churinova. I have a Master’s Degree in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology from the University of East London. The topic of my dissertation was exploring the subjective experience of wellbeing by women following the ketogenic diet. I am highly interested in the food-wellbeing connection and metabolic psychiatry, and have completed a Postgraduate Certificate in Dietetics and Nutrition Planning.
I am an accredited Coach and Mentor. I am accredited by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC), and have a Certificate in Counselling Skills. My background is in psychology and I finished my BSc in Psychology at the University of Roehampton in London in 2014. I am also a member of the British Psychology Society (BPS). Additionally, I have a Diploma in Childcare and Education, and for almost 15 years owned and ran a childcare business in London, working with children under the age of 5. I supported their parents on areas such as children’s health, development, and nutrition.
My main interest is in the connection between psychological wellbeing, health, and nutrition. I believe that the approach to health should be holistic, and each person should be treated individually as we are all different. I am fascinated by how our gut health influences our mental and physical health. I am very interested in biohacking, chronobiology, metabolic flexibility, and how our lifestyle affects our everyday functioning and connections with others. Our lifestyle and our food choices also guide our relationship with ourselves.
I have been following a low-carb and ketogenic lifestyle since January 2020. My family and I are on an animal-based diet. We eat highly nutritious and seasonal food. We take care of the daily rhythm, our mitochondria, physical activity, and family time.
Health and happiness are the results of everyday choices.
MY VISION, VALUES, AND GOALS
My values are:
Freedom
Health
Love
Respect
Development
Creativity
Empathy
My goal is to empower you to help you take control of your life – your body, choices, needs, and how you want to live your life. I also want to support you to take control of your wellbeing, health, and appetite. I believe that the human body is an ideal machine that works with masterfully crafted precision, as long as it is not disturbed. Using my knowledge of psychology, positive psychology, and the latest research and discoveries in health and nutrition, I would like to help you increase your satisfaction with life, boost your self-esteem, and help you fulfill your potential. I would like to take you on a journey beyond family and cultural beliefs and beyond stereotypes.
I sincerely believe in a world where people support each other. A world where successive generations are brought up consciously and in a sensible and reliable way. A world in which each family takes responsibility for the health of their members and where family is a strong and unshakable social structure.
You have the strength and internal resources to achieve your goals; however, with an accredited Coach, Mentor, and Positive Psychology Practitioner, it will be much faster to achieve them!

The session with Patrycja perfectly showed me the benefits of coaching. She quickly managed to build a very friendly atmosphere. Her attitude towards challenges I face were far from judgmental. Thanks to that she made me feel comfortable, made me trust her. By asking great questions, she awoke my thoughts, made me open for a conversation and left me with lots of valuable reflections. I very much enjoyed our sessions. I finished coaching with a feeling that I have done something valuable for my self-development and managed to find answers to some of my inner questions.
JoannaBefore seeing Patrycja for coaching sessions, I was feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities I had and was trying to figure out how to best manage my time and energy. My wellbeing suffered previously from poor time management and lack of self-care. Having Patrycja as my coach helped me tremendously. She helped me recognise my inner strengths and my top priorities and guided me toward inner equilibrium. Her support and positive attitude helped me to become more confident in myself and helped me develop a sense of what is truly important for me. Now, I am no longer afraid of saying “no” to plans or of prioritising self-care before anything else.
MirunaIn Poland, coaching is still quite new, thus I was truly curious about this interesting opportunity to have a few sessions with Patrycja. I was struggling to maintain lifestyle changes until my sessions with Patrycja. Thanks to her approach and the atmosphere of trust she created I felt that I am strong enough to make permanent changes in my life to support my health and wellbeing. We were working together to find the best tools for me to keep me on track with my food choices and regular physical activity. I am proud to say that they have became a part of my everyday life. I recommend coaching with Patrycja to everyone. It was an amazing experience and learning. I feel stronger and more in control over my life and my choices.
MagdalenaI had a few coaching sessions with Patrycja when I felt that I can’t move on with my life. She helped me to look at my situation from a different perspective which is more optimistic and focused on positive outcomes. She helped me to realise my strengths. We also talked about how to start private practice as a massage therapist, in which I have diploma. Patrycja paid attention to what I said and did not judge me, which allowed me to feel safe and to share what I was going through. After our meetings, I felt empowered and motivated to take the next step. Thank you Patrycja for your time and support.
LucyI had been thinking about the ketogenic diet for a long time, and with Patrycja, I finally stopped thinking and started doing it. My husband has been following this lifestyle and I was amazed by the diet’s health benefits. Unfortunately, being a mother of two girls and working full-time leaves little time to study a new topic. Patrycja gave me a clear compendium of knowledge about the ketogenic diet. She helped me which blood tests I should do to assess my current health, how to go smoothly through the keto-adaptation, and which keto nutritionists are trustworthy to contact. Patrycja shared her expertise and her personal experience of being on the keto diet. We have been working together to change my relationship with food and create an easy-to-follow plan regarding cooking and exercising. I feel better, stronger and calmer.
MarcelaPatrycja made me feel very comfortable. There were no right or wrong answers and I could explore my thoughts freely. To be a good coach a person needs to have great communication skills, have emotional intelligence, empathy, and a few other skills. Patrycja has all of them and she was able to build a rapport with me in all situations. Patrycja, in all her coaching sessions, was very calm and I looked forward for next session to meet her again. Having experienced my sessions with Patrycja, I would recommend her to others. Patrycja’s professionalism, flexibility, and constant feedback were amazing. It was a beautiful journey. Don’t hesitate – try yourself.
EbbieFAQ
Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Coaching is a process in which, by skillfully asking questions, the Coach can facilitate the Client’s learning process. Coaching is about unlocking your potential to maximise your potential and development. Coaching enhances well-being and gives you clarity about your own goals and your life’s direction. The Coach does not give advice and does not impart knowledge.
Unfortunately, many people just call themselves “coaches” and are not accredited by any professional body nor have a psychological background. Therefore, I beg you – be careful when looking for a Coach.
I am a Coaching psychologist and have a background in psychology. I have counselling skills and I am a very empathic person. All these will help me to understand your emotions, recognise potential thinking distortions, and build strong and effective coach-coachee relationships.
I am a European Mentoring & Coaching Council’s (EMCC) accredited Coach and Mentor and member of the EMCC. I am a member of the British Psychology Association (BPS). I follow the EMCC’s Global Code of Ethics and the BPS’s Code of Ethics and Conduct. I am insured and registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), with me, you are in good hands.
Positive psychology is a new field of psychology. Instead of relying on the “disease model,” it encourages us to consider the positive aspects of life. Positive psychology is the scientific study of people’s wellbeing, flourishing, and what makes life worth living. It is the study of happiness, optimism, subjective wellbeing, and personal growth. Well-being is a multidimensional construct where individuals’ prosperity, welfare, and success are affected by factors such as health (mind and body), culture, relationships, society, values, morals, religion, income, or marital status.
Positive psychological interventions are evidence-based tools that can promote and treat mental health and reduce depressive symptoms and low mood. Positive psychology interventions are great tools for enhancing your wellbeing and enabling you to take responsibility for your emotional health. In the face of post-pandemic challenges and current economic and geopolitical concerns, positive psychology has become even more important.
Positive psychology is not looking at the world through “rose-tinted glasses”. It is also not psychotherapy and does not cure mental disorders and difficulties. If, during our sessions, it turns out that you need the help of a psychologist or psychiatrist, then I will refer you to such a specialist.
It is a so-called “Chemistry Session” during which we will both introduce ourselves and find out whether there is a good energetic “fit” between us. The introduction session takes 30 – 45 minutes and is free of charge and non-obligatory. We can speak by phone or meet on Zoom. If we are on the same wavelength, we will establish the terms of our professional relationship.
1) We will meet each other during your Initial Free Session.
2) Depending on your situation and depending on whether you need coaching, mentoring, or positive psychology consultations, a personalised plan will be created to suit your individual needs.
3) A Contract will be created and signed to establish the terms of our professional relationship.
4) With my help you will determine what objectives you want to achieve.
5) We will work together towards achieving your objectives.

Patrycja is a very skilled professional and her approach to coaching. Additionally, she has uses tolls of positive psychology, and while talking with her you can feel her psychological academic background. She is calm, delicate and yet direct in her communication with the client, offering support through presence, challenge and space for reflection. By asking the right questions at the right moment, Patrycja helped me to gain the much needed clarity on the theme I worked on in coaching with her. I am thankful and not only did I gain clarity, but I also feel equipped with a skill to see new perspectives about things I am pondering on!
