Nikki Streatfield
Nikki partners with individuals to enhance mental wellbeing, build lasting resilience, and achieve meaningful goals. Her work spans personal growth, professional development, and leadership – drawing on a rich background that moves from trauma counselling through organisational psychology to her deep passion for coaching.
She sees coaching as a self-directed journey of reflection, learning, development and change. Her approach places the client at the centre. As a thinking partner and guide, she supports greater self-insight and genuine growth – helping clients not only reach their goals but internalise lasting awareness and skills they can carry forward and use to develop others. Nikki’s coaching framework is grounded in evidence-based theory and practical application. She draws on a range of disciplines including positive psychology, neurolinguistic programming, polyvagal theory, narrative psychology, and coaching psychology.
Clients and colleagues describe her as highly perceptive, incisive, supportive, and structured – with a natural warmth, pragmatism, and good sense of humour that makes the coaching space feel both safe and stretching.
Nikki has worked with clients across the globe, partnering with individuals from organisations including the NHS, Prudential, Bain & Co, London Business School, the University of Oxford, the Ministry of Defence (UK), and Mercedes-Benz, across South Africa, the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Sweden, Kazakhstan, and Singapore. She works with a broad range of clients, from new recruits and early-career professionals through to mid-management level, as well as the self-employed.
Nikki holds a Master’s degree in Coaching Psychology from Middlesex University (i-coach Academy), alongside postgraduate qualifications in psychology. She is accredited at Master Practitioner level by the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC EQA) and adheres to its full code of ethics. She engages in regular CPD, maintains ongoing supervision, and has contributed to the profession as a trainer, assessor, and mentor to fellow coaches since 2013.
“The team sessions with Nikki helped us move along at twice the speed and clarity compared to what we had before. It has left a lasting positive impact on both productivity and team relationships.”
“Nikki has supported me to develop the mental and emotional resilience required to succeed in the solopreneur game. She is very insightful and supportive.”
“With international and intercultural experience Nikki is an excellent coach for those, like me, who are settling into a new cultural and work environment. Her solution-oriented approach was very useful and her sense of humour is an added bonus when one looks for the light at the end of a tunnel. Her coaching helped me focus on my strengths and how to develop goals that fit with my new story- rather than remain mentally in the past. She is a true professional.”
“Nikki is incisive and could quickly grasp the issues I was struggling with, and reframe in a way that shifted my thinking. She challenged me to move from abstract ideas into tangible outcomes. She has a reassuring and calm style, which supported and encouraged me as I moved forward with my goals.”
“Although I wasn’t sure what to expect from coaching, I was amazed at the difference that Nikki’s coaching made in my career – it opened my mind up to new possibilities. Her non-judgmental, professional and skilled outlook into every step of my journey has made coaching an exceptionally rewarding experience.”
“Through coaching, Nikki helped me recognise my strengths and resources, enabling me with the confidence to pursue a new career direction.”
