Natasha is a Business Psychologist who partners with senior leaders and their teams to unlock potential and drive transformational change at an individual, team and organisational level. She does this through advisory work and through the delivery of robust assessment and development strategies. She has wide-ranging experience of working with executives across a range of different industries, business areas and geographies, supporting them in defining, understanding, and addressing their unique leadership and business challenges.

Natasha has extensive experience of delivering executive-level assessments, designing and delivering development strategies through interactive group programmes and coaching, and has led cultural initiatives to support the success of strategic priorities. She combines psychological insight with her business background to support clients in translating insights into solutions that drive transformational and sustainable change.

She is also an International Coaching Federation (ICF) Associate Certified Coach (ACC), holds certifications in Transactional Analysis and is trained in a number of psychometrics. Passionate about empowering others and helping individuals realize their potential, she has shared learnings beyond the organisations she has worked. She has been invited to present at conferences on the topic of women in leadership, including for The Association for Business Psychology (ABP) and The British Psychological Society’s (BPS) Division of Occupational Psychology, and has authored articles on the topic for HR Magazine.

Outside of work, Natasha is a keen traveller, keeps active and greatly enjoys spending time with her friends, family and her dog.

“I really enjoy working with Natasha – she’s infectiously enthusiastic, positive and cheerful. She displays great listening and evaluation skills. Several times we’ve made changes to the programme at fairly late notice, or have had hitches crop up, and she has always accommodated these very quickly and without missing a step. But at the same time she’s not afraid to make decisions and call things, or put her insights across (always in a professional and constructive way) to make sure we get the best out of the programme. Natasha is someone I can call on for sound advice and guidance and to talk things through, use as a critical friend, and someone who will deliver.”
