Built on a belief in human potential
Meridian was founded in 2014 by Dr. Eleanor Hartwell, following a career spanning organisational psychology, executive leadership, and systemic coaching. Eleanor observed a consistent gap in the professional development landscape: smart, capable leaders who were outwardly performing but inwardly struggling — lacking clarity, direction, or a space to think.
Her response was to create something different. Not a conventional training firm, but a coaching and consulting practice built around genuine partnership, robust methodology, and an unwavering belief in human potential. Meridian was born from the conviction that when leaders grow, organisations flourish.
Over the past twelve years, we have grown into a team of five accredited coaches and consultants, working with individuals, teams, and organisations across the public and private sectors — from the NHS to global technology firms, from boutique law practices to creative agencies.
