About us
My name is Louise Palmer, I am a Personal Development coach.
I work with people looking for a new direction, who might be feeling 'stuck' but fear change and all the uncertainty that comes with it. Perhaps having reached a pivotal moment personally or professionally, that feels too big to handle, or even overwhelming.
I coach individuals to help unblock some of the barriers we all hold within us, such as
- Self-belief
- Confidence
- Imposter syndrome
I coach people in relation to reaching professional goals including:
- growing in a current role
- moving into something completely new
- creating a healthier balance between work and personal life
- creating healthy boundaries, including how to say 'no'!
- managing stress and anxiety
I feel truly passionate about the power of coaching; of the opportunities it brings for clarity, for looking at change with positivity rather than fear, for remembering what’s truly important to us, and to reconnect with our values.
For me, coaching was life-changing. At the very least, it can help you to make some decisions about where to go next, be that personally or professionally.
Coaching with me will give you time and space to talk purely about ‘you’ whilst I actively listen and gently guide you to find your own solutions, helping you to achieve, or even discover, your goals and plans. I will help you stay on track with moving forwards.
If you feel ready to move out of your comfort zone and want more confidence to dive into the 'new'...(or to stay exactly where you are but feel happier, more content and balanced), please do get in touch to see how we can work together!
Training, qualifications & experience
I have an ICF (International Coaching Federation) Accredited Diploma in Integrative Coaching and I am also qualified in Integrative Counselling. This means I blend a variety of different tools and techniques to support the coaching process, according to what is most helpful for you and with your wellbeing in mind.
As well as being a coach, I have worked in mental health, the charity sector and with the NHS for over 25 years. I facilitate opportunities for people with lived experience to improve treatment and care across mental health services. I also coach and train organisational teams, as well as deliver training and consultancy in these sectors.
I have experienced many challenges of my own where coaching has provided me with a space to rethink my position and make some big changes! Through the early years of parenting, juggling work and life, trying to get the balance right so it didn’t impact severely on my own wellbeing. I have experienced divorce, bereavement and more recently the challenges of navigating life through the menopause.
My own coaching experience was so positive, I was inspired to qualify myself. Now trained in both coaching and counselling, my approach is both supportive and directive, gently challenging clients to get 'unstuck' and recognise the potential within themselves to move forwards.
I always ensure a working together agreement is in place which is co-created with my clients. This ensures there is a mutual understanding of what motivates people (and what doesn't) to get the best possible outcome as well as positive experience, from their coaching sessions.
If you feel inspired to work with me, or just curious to find out more, please do get in touch.

Further information
If you like walking and talking at the same time, this is my most favourite way to coach people, in a variety of beautiful outdoor green spaces around the North London area. This can provide you with both physical and mental health benefits from our coaching sessions! Recent client feedback:
"I have been coaching with Lou for about a year and the experience for me has been transformational! Lou is a phenomenal listener who challenges me and supports me in equal measure. I also find it particularly helpful and motivating that I come away from each session with clear steps, and often homework, to drive me forward towards my goals. Without Lou's coaching I wouldn't be anywhere near as far along my journey of pivoting career as I am now and I'm so grateful I took this step.
A brilliant bonus is that our sessions take place whilst walking around some beautiful routes across Ally Pally, which frees up my mind to really think through how I want to approach things. I can't recommend coaching with Lou highly enough for anyone who is looking to make a change in their life. In fact, I have already recommended her coaching to my friends!"
