Hello. I'm a psychologist specialising in workplace consultancy and strategy, workplace wellbeing, and mentoring. I help businesses engage with their people and deliver an exemplary workplace experience while aligning with their business strategy. I focus on what people need in the workplace to be successful in their role. If your people are happy and healthy they are significantly more likely to be engaged, motivated, creative, and productive.

I have an associate network who work with me on projects requiring additional skills such as: office design; diversity, equity & inclusion; ergonomics; executive coaching. I am based in Bath and work with businesses and co-working providers across the UK, all sizes & sectors.

I balance my leadership, team and organisation wide approach by providing one to one mentoring to those in the early stages of their career and to university students. This gives me a good understanding of individual needs and behaviours and includes specialist mentoring for mental health, autism and neurodiversity.

About

I am a leading workplace strategist and work psychologist with extensive experience helping businesses and senior leaders navigate workplace and ways of working change. I have broad research and engagement experience using qualitative and quantitative methods. I have a strong eye for design and love evolving evidence based office design briefs in partnership with office design & build firms. I excel in board level communication and strategic thinking, and I am known for challenging the status quo, supported by strong data analytics, interpretation and dissemination skills. Having worked in academia, corporates, government and third sector, as well as founding a health tech startup, I apply this diverse combination of experience to identify and develop workplace solutions that are both human and commercial. I am passionate about enhancing employee or occupier experience and wellbeing to drive organisational success, as well as delivering benefits to the climate and society.

To maintain and expand my understanding of work life from an individual’s perspective I provide one to one mentoring to those in the early stages of their career and to university students. I am qualified as a specialist mentor for mental health, autism and neurodiversity.
