About me
Hello! I’m Kata, and I’m the face of Alcheme.
I know how important chemistry and connection are in a successful therapist-client relationship. I created this section to tell you a little bit more about me, my personal story, and how I came to do what I do.

MY STORYI’m a certified Hypnotherapist, Rapid Transformational Therapist, and Life Coach, and I’m the founder of ALCHEME. But that’s not where my story started…
Change is the only constant
l've experienced a lot of change and transformation in my nearly four decades on this planet, both on an internal and external level…
I’ve moved countries (and cultures), changed jobs and even career paths more times than most people do in their entire lifetimes.
I’ve gone through periods of being happily single, had long, healthy relationships, and survived some highly toxic ones, as well as a few tough break-ups.
I’ve personally experienced health challenges, physical and emotional pain, trauma, addiction, burnout, depression and anxiety.
And I’m grateful to have come out the other end of all of it - in one piece, and perhaps even a little wiser.
I believe that having gone through, survived and grown from all of these challenges and experiences is what makes me a better therapist, able to serve my clients in the best, most empathetic way possible.
Turning our wounds into wisdom
I’ve worked a lot (and continue to work) on my own patterns, on cultivating confidence and self-love, learning to set healthy boundaries, reparenting my inner child, overcoming my fear of failure (and of success), recovering from perfectionism and people-pleasing, the list goes on…
We’re all only human.
And that means we’re forever a perfectly-imperfect, messy, beautiful, work-in-progress. But I can tell you from experience, that the more work we do, the closer we can get to that inner balance, peace and contentment we’re all looking for. It’s 100% worth it.
Why I do what I do
My own healing journey is what led me into the field of coaching, hypnotherapy and RTT®.
I’ve personally experimented with and experienced many different healing modalities, therapies and approaches, from traditional psychotherapy, NLP, hypnotherapy and RTT®, to meditation, breathwork, EFT, plant medicines, shamanism and energy healing… to name a few.
At the height of a decade-long career as a marketeer and brand consultant, which transported me around the globe from London to Asia to Amsterdam, I found myself in a full-blown burnout-identity-crisis: I felt lost, stuck and miserable. I appeared to “have it all”… and yet I didn’t feel happy. So I asked myself what it was I truly wanted, who I am, and why I’m here, and I began searching for answers.
And while I didn’t know precisely how at the time, what I did know was that I wanted to ‘help people’. To be part of the solution, not the problem. I want to help people be their best selves and live their best lives… because I believe the world would be a better place if we all did.
As is often the case with these things, once I’d seen it, I couldn’t unsee it, so it wasn’t long before I took the leap, quit my job, moved to Mexico (that’s a story for another day) and began to pursue my qualifications in coaching and RTT®.
Fast forward to today, several years, multiple qualifications, and countless enriching and expanding life experiences later, I can honestly say - I’ve never looked back.
So, how can I help you?
Do I have all the answers? Of course not. But I can provide you with the right tools, support and guidance to help you dive into your subconscious in order to find your own answers there, and encourage you to listen, and act on them. If this is something you’d like to explore, let’s chat!
Qualifications and Accreditation
RTT® is a unique system of therapy developed by renowned British therapist Marisa Peer, drawing on her 40+ years of experience in the fields of psychotherapy, hypnotherapy, coaching, and personal development.
I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn RTT® directly from Marisa herself. This hands-on experience not only deepened my understanding of the methodology, but allowed me to witness and experience firsthand the profound impact this system can have.
I've personally undergone incredible transformations through RTT®, and I've seen others achieve life-changing breakthroughs as well—whether it's transforming physical issues or emotional challenges, breaking free from past trauma, or overcoming addictions and harmful behaviours.
RTT® empowers individuals to get to the root of their challenges quickly and effectively, facilitating deep, lasting change. I'm constantly inspired by the transformative power of RTT® and grateful for the opportunity to integrate it into my own practice.
