Hema Bakhshi

Hema works with leaders to build the skills and conditions to thrive under pressure. She has a human, person-centred approach that blends transformational coaching, visualisation, and energy work to alter performance. Hema brings a different kind of support: holistic, human, and deeply transformative – because she believes how we feel affects how we perform.

With 20+ years experience spanning large international corporations, scale-ups, and start-ups, Hema has a deep understanding of the unique pressures and cultural dynamics that organisations face at various stages of growth. At Santander, she pioneered the first Future of Work Practice, preparing the workforce for tomorrow’s challenges. She served as Chief Workplace Officer for a start-up that saw both rapid growth and closure, and as People and Culture Director for a venture-backed scale-up, she navigated the complexities of fast-paced expansion.

Hema’s expertise lies at the intersection of coaching and consultancy, where people and business converge. She specialises in organisational change, transformation, people and talent strategy, innovation, and culture across diverse industries, including financial services, energy, and technology. The impact lies in identifying the key business challenges and driving effective, solution-focused strategies.

As a Reiki practitioner and skilled certified transformational coach, adept in psychometric testing, Hema has a deep intuitive understanding of human behaviour. Using tools and techniques rooted in cognitive behavioural science, she works through how people think, feel and act, whilst also guiding long lasting behavioural change.

Hema also runs a business that centres healing and personal transformation – helping people to slow down in a world that rarely pauses. Working at the intersection of nervous system regulation, energy awareness and personal development, she supports people navigating stress, transition, and emotional overwhelm to ground and move forward intentionally. She provides a balance of clear, grounded expertise with intuitive and deeply attuned care.
