Professional coaching in English – because your language should not hold you back
Are you looking for professional coaching in English to support your growth in leadership, career change, or female empowerment, but don’t feel confident enough expressing yourself in German?
When language is no longer a barrier, transformation becomes easier and faster.
Or, is your company interested in providing the benefits of coaching to professionals from abroad working in Germany?
I offer professional coaching sessions entirely in English — and it’s a language I use confidently every day. With over 25 years of working in English and a Master’s in English and American Studies, you’re in experienced hands.
Coaching should not feel like a vocabulary test. Express yourself clearly, confidently, and without the language filter. Coaching works best when your thoughts flow freely. And that is exactly what happens when you use your strongest language. And that is why coaching in English works better for you.

Being focused on my goals
Starting a new business means many new challenges. A colleague from IBM recommended Mrs. Nüchter as coach for this stage.
During the coaching sessions I learned new methodologies which helped me a lot to work on upcoming difficult topics – topics that are important when starting a new business. Her ideas and suggestions provided me different viewpoints on the current situation which helped me to see things clearer and be more focused on my goals.
Mastering challenges means growing – I highly recommend the coaching sessions with Mrs. Nüchter to master also your challenges!

Do as I did at the beginning of my leadership position and again in times of uncertainty: Seek support and recognize how fulfilling and liberating this can be.
You don’t have to solve everything on your own.
Women in leadership — benefit from my journey
Are you a woman in a male-dominated industry? Perhaps a career changer, like I was? Then you may sense or know how demanding it can be to establish yourself in leadership.
Most of the time I was the only woman in the room. It took courage to take my place at the table. It was often frustrating, but in the end I learned how to be successful.
I can help you with tips and tricks and how to find your own voice and place.

Successful career transition
Birgit and I met through NetExpat, as she was my job/career coach while making the transition to living and working abroad (US –> Germany).
I could not have asked for a better guide for my job/career than Birgit. She is professional, caring, consistent, compassionate and understanding.
Birgit is realistic while also being quite kind. She helped me understand the job market in German, and also understand how it would be to be self-employed. When my confidence was down, she was able to suggest things that helped strengthen it.
For instance, I made a daily practice of writing down what was going well in my private practice, per her recommendation, and it really helped me see my progress and focus on how I was being effective in my work.
I cannot recommend Birgit highly enough. Even though our work through NetExpat has ended, I will not hesitate to reach out to her when I need job/career counseling.
FAQs – Coaching in English
Good to know before you start.
What is coaching in English?
Coaching in English simply means the entire coaching process — from our conversations to materials — is conducted in English. This makes it easier for you to think clearly, express yourself freely, and focus on your goals without the barrier of a second language.
Who is this coaching for?
My coaching is tailored for international professionals working in Germany. Especially those navigating leadership roles, career transitions, or adapting to new cultural and workplace norms.
I speak some German — should I still choose coaching in English?
Absolutely. Even if your German is good, English may still be the language where you feel most natural and precise.
Coaching works best when your thoughts can flow freely — and for many international professionals, that means coaching in English.
What topics can we work on in coaching?
Typical coaching topics include:
-
Leadership development
-
Career changes or transitions
-
Building confidence in a new role
-
Navigating cultural differences in the workplace
-
Female empowerment and visibility in leadership
-
Communication skills and team dynamics
How does the coaching process work?
We start with a no-obligation introductory call to get to know each other. If it feels like a fit, we define your goals and begin regular coaching sessions.
You apply new insights between sessions, and we adjust the focus as needed.
Do you offer online or virtual sessions?
Yes, I work with many clients online via video sessions.
This allows for flexibility, especially if you’re managing a busy schedule or working across locations.
Can my company pay for coaching?
In many cases, yes. Some companies offer coaching budgets for professional development.
I can provide you with an invoice and, if needed, a short proposal to support internal approval.
How long is each coaching session?
A typical session lasts 60 minutes, occassionally 90 minutes.
If you seriously want to work on a topic, you should plan for 3 to 5 sessions.
These sessions will ideally happen with 2–4 weeks between each session. This allows you to stay focussed on the topic, discuss progress and adjust your actions.
How much is a coaching session?
If you chose to invest in yourself, a coaching session of 60 minutes costs €150 including VAT.
If a session takes longer than 60 minutes, I will ask for your consent to continue and will then charge in 15 minute blocks.
Should your company pay, I will send a proposal to your company. The above fees do not apply for B2B contracts.
