Kat Ballam
- Psychologist


With over nine years of experience in coaching, counseling, and facilitation, I support individuals and organizations in both personal healing and professional growth.
I bring warmth, presence, and deep sensitivity to my practice, offering an embodied, trauma-informed approach that emphasizes nervous system regulation and integration, because insight alone is not enough. I integrate Compassionate Inquiry with modalities such as Positive Psychology, Polyvagal Theory, and NLP to support lasting, meaningful change.
In our work together, I help you move beyond surface-level challenges to explore the deeper “survival strategies” shaping your experience. This opens the space to reconnect with your truth and potential, where insight becomes practice and practice becomes lasting change. All within a grounded, compassionate, and at times playful process.
With a background as an economist in the corporate world, I also bring a deep understanding of high-performance environments, supporting leaders and entrepreneurs to cultivate resilience, break and prevent the burnout cycle, and create greater alignment in their work and private lives.
Everything I offer is grounded in both training and lived experience. My path has been shaped by profound inner work, navigating codependency, abusive relationships, an eating disorder, ADHD, and chronic anxiety, as well as a career change at 35 to follow my true calling.
Compassionate Inquiry and ongoing inner work have played, and continue to play, a profound role in my journey, shaping not only how I work but also how I relate to myself and to life at every level.
This allows me to meet you with grounded presence, authenticity, and genuine connection, rooted in lived experience, integrity, and our shared humanity.
Beyond my client work as a practitioner, I remain an active member of this community, contributing as an intern, focus group host, and volunteer across various circles.
I run a private practice internationally online, and am based in Hungary. If you feel ready for meaningful growth and lasting change, I would be happy to connect: [email protected] | www.tundek.com | www.kovacstundecoach.hu
