I am Valentina, founder of Behaviour & Balance, with a background in psychology, holding both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree specialising in health psychology and behaviour change. I am currently completing my training as an ICF-accredited coach.

Having lived and studied across Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Australia, I bring an international and culturally informed perspective to my work.

My professional path is closely connected to my personal experience. For a long time, I operated from rigid beliefs, shaped by the need to be liked and the idea that life had to follow a certain path. Alongside this, I experienced a lack of self-trust, which often led to overthinking and a tendency to focus more on problems than on moving forward.

Over time, I learned to shift perspectives, question unhelpful patterns, and approach situations in a more rational and constructive way. I began to create change through small but consistent behavioural adjustments, which helped me develop a more flexible, solution-focused mindset and a stronger sense of inner balance.

Today, I integrate psychological knowledge with coaching approaches to support individuals in shifting perspectives, changing unhelpful habits, strengthening self-trust, and building a more solution-oriented way of thinking.

The aim of my work is to provide structured and supportive guidance that enables individuals to gain clarity, deepen self-understanding, and move forward with greater independence and confidence in their own judgement.
