Hello, I'm Nathalie.
I'm a 1-1 and leadership team coach, driven to help my clients discover their natural strengths, resourcefulness and power to make things happen for themselves.
Prior to concentrating my efforts into coaching individuals and senior teams, my background was in organisational change and leadership development. The former was specialising in working with senior leaders and their teams to design, develop and deliver large-scale change programs with humanity and care. The latter was specialising in delivering bespoke or companywide leadership development programmes, enabling leaders at all levels to be themselves with skill.
Based in Surrey and working with local aswell as global clients, I work best with clients who are going through a big period of change and need the space and supportive environment to think clearly about themselves, assess their next steps and manage their impact over the people around them.
Coaching individuals and teams through times of transformation is particularly rewarding work, and I'm incredibly proud of some of the life-changing decisions that my 1:1 clients have made through our work together aswell as the step change in focus and impact the teams I've been privileged to work with have made.
Over my years of coaching, I have had the great privilege of experiencing broad and comprehensive training to become a coach. My approach considers many different schools of thought, all recognised by the International Coaching Federation, the global standard in coaching standards and ethics.
As such, I have a diverse skillset I can draw upon when working with coaching clients but often find that the greatest service I can provide is creating a non-judgemental space, and partnering with a client so that they can do some brilliant thinking for themselves.
Outside of work I can most often be found managing the most demanding stakeholder of all, my 5 year-old, as I try (and mostly fail) to instil my love of history and National Trust properties in him, or at the gym, trying to compensate for my love of food and wine.
Some of our recent team coaching achievements include:
1:1 and Team coaching with the C-suite of a UK based group care of homes, to overcome a history of low trust and a tense team dynamic. Leading to improved relationships within and between teams, raised levels of self awareness both as individuals and as a team, fine tuning ways of working and accountability during a time of significant upheaval for both the senior team and the organisation as a whole.
Coaching the Global leadership team of a Mental Health Services provider to overcome a history of low trust and a strained team dynamic to become a trusting, collaborative, effective team of enterprise leaders during a period of rapid growth for the business. Being trusted to continue the journey to high performance with their Country Leadership teams.
Working as an associate to co-design and co-coach a Global leadership team in the Pharmaceutical industry to overcome significant language and cultural barriers over multiple sessions to develop greater levels of trust, constructive challenge, self awareness, purpose and increase their collective impact in the organisation.

NEM Coaching's Team
I am an intuitive leader and coach. My expertise was honed during a corporate career spanning senior operational and head office roles.
I led large teams, set and translated strategy and was known for effective delivery and talent development.
I am professional, enthusiastic and authentic and now work independently. Clients typically choose me for my combination of leadership, coaching and commercial skills and value my appreciation of the cultural, strategic and tactical challenges facing today's leaders. I thrive on helping clients develop their own effective leadership styles. I encourage self awareness, deliberate attention to working relationships, and leveraging strengths.
I coach teams from all sectors including sports, technology, business, hospitality and charity. I relish supporting them to create clarity and focus, navigate the challenges and opportunities of constant change, achieve personal and professional goals and build high-performing teams. I am delighted to learn from all these opportunities.

More about Tracy
A former competitive 100m sprinter, I have led corporate and SME businesses around the globe for the past 20 years.
Calling New Zealand home, I've led businesses in New York City, the Caribbean and London, leading teams from 30 - 150 across the Manufacturing, Hospitality, Media and Tech sectors.
This background has led to a fascination with Human and Team performance, which I formally began to study with a Diploma in Sports Performance alongside my competitive sprinting. I then continued with Post Graduate study in Business Administration before focussing on an MSc in Coaching and Behaviour Change along with study in Team, Board and Systemic Coaching at Henley Business School, followed by post-graduate study in Organisational Leadership and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy at the University of Oxford.
I now work independently, working with CEOs of high-growth tech scale-ups to build them a connected, high-functioning leadership team.
More about Sam
I'm Louise van Haarst, an Executive, Leadership & Team Coach. My coaching offers a blend of high support and high challenge.
I work in partnership with my clients to examine how they see themselves, how others experience them, and to identify both their great strengths and the behaviours that need to change.
I bring a sense of humour, curiosity and intellectual rigour into my work – I am totally committed to evidence-based practice. A conflict and courageous communication specialist, I work with clients to develop a more human-centred approach to leadership and to foster a grounded confidence in their personal leadership style.
I'm experienced in supporting clients to thrive and grow as leaders through times of exceptional instability and uncertainty. I'm mother to three young children, and understand the difficulty of combining a high-pressure working environment with family life. I bring to my work 20 years' experience of driving transformational change in the voluntary and international NGO worlds, often navigating strategic emergencies, challenging cultures and intractable team dynamics.
More about Louise
I'm Alice, a leadership coach and conflict specialist, with a fascination with what makes people tick.
Prior to focusing on full-time on coaching, I was the managing director of two global marketing agencies and a founding partner at health tech start-up working on digitising care homes.
Based in London, I work best with leaders facing critical organisational transitions, who need to hit the ground running and are ready to experiment with and develop new ways of thinking and doing. In short, they want to bring out the best in themselves and their teams, by doubling down on their strengths and amplifying them. As a qualified mediator I also have a specialism in helping people prepare for and have difficult but critical conversations at work.
My training and qualifications in a wide-range of evidenced-based psychological approaches allow me to take a flexible, personalised and evidence-based approach, working in partnership with my coachees, to select the tools and techniques that will be most effective, based on your needs and preferences. In my experience there is no one size fits all approach or model that will work for everything, but a range of tools, which, when used selectively can support us to develop new insight and move towards our goals.
My clients describe my style as empathetic and supportive,
punctuated with challenge, always deployed with you
and your goals in mind.

Client Testimonials about our coaching services
Nathalie's calm and patient approach gave me the space to talk without feeling judged. I really looked forward to my time with her, she made me feel very comfortable and from the outset I was able to open up to her and share what was going on for me. During our sessions she always encouraged me to reflect on situations that had felt difficult at the time, and then to work on situations I knew I would be facing into. My coaching with Nathalie undoubtedly left me feeling more positive and confident about my ability to manage my state to ensure these interactions would be as effective as possible.
Working with Nathalie was genuinely game changing for me. I’d never worked with a coach before and I was so impressed at how quickly Nathalie was able to help me unpick my values and motivations through a variety of different techniques, some of which were quite innovative, and all of which were genuinely thought provoking and enjoyable.
I was really nervous about opening up to a Coach but Nathalie clearly explained what the process would look like and made me feel at ease very quickly. Nathalie proved to be a very effective listener and asked questions which enabled me to explore deeper within myself, in turn helping me to alter my behaviour.
I would like to thank Nathalie for her support over a time where my perspective has changed a great deal and I’ve made some life changing decisions. Having Nathalie as a constant, impartial sounding board during this process has been invaluable… her kind patient and positive approach, gently questioning my opinions has really helped me to gain clarity on my position and increase my confidence and positivity.
I instantly recognised that she has both a wealth of experience and a welcoming coaching style that resonated with me and my needs. A number of sessions later, a pandemic to contend with Nathalie artfully navigated me through my landscape to help me reaffirm my core values, and allow me the confidence to drive forward with the next stage of my career.
