Most organisations operate under performance and pressure - yet often overlook the emotional systems that shape leadership, psychological safety, and resilience.

This two-part experience, consisting of 90-minute sessions introduces a core model drawing on Compassion-Focused approaches and evolutionary psychology. You’ll uncover what lies beneath the surface of performance, communication, and culture — and explore how this understanding could benefit your organisation at every level.

Who it’s for:
Senior leaders, teams, or cross-functional groups ready to build a more emotionally intelligent, psychologically safe, and human-centred workplace.

What you’ll walk away with:

A fresh, evidence-based lens on your team, leadership, or culture

A shared language to discuss emotion, leadership, and wellbeing — without stigma

Practical insights and a psychologically safe starting point for meaningful change

Parenting isn’t time out – it’s leadership in the making.

Scientific research shows that becoming a parent or caregiver - whether through pregnancy, birth, adoption, or daily caregiving - is associated with profound changes in brain, body, and emotional development. For birthing parents, hormonal shifts during pregnancy and birth prime long-lasting adaptations in empathy and social cognition. For non-birthing parents and other caregivers, consistent, emotionally engaged caregiving can also bring about adaptive shifts, though these vary depending on context.

This transition can heighten vulnerability, leaving new parents feeling overwhelmed or unsteady. But with the right support, it can also strengthen how people connect, regulate stress, and lead others with empathy. Too often, workplaces overlook this profound shift or misunderstand its potential.

I help organisations recognise parenthood as a key leadership development opportunity. Supporting employees through this transition not only helps them grow into confident, attuned parents, but also makes returning to work easier, protecting focus, performance, and wellbeing. The result is stronger retention and the development of self-aware, emotionally intelligent leaders.

Who it’s for
Employees and leaders navigating parenthood, managers supporting parents, and organisations seeking to embed inclusive, psychologically informed practices.

What you’ll walk away with

Stronger retention of high-potential parent talent

A leadership pipeline built on real-world emotional growth

More emotionally intelligent, resilient leaders

Progress toward gender equity and inclusive culture

Reduced loss of momentum for new parents returning from leave, and stronger support for caregivers stepping into daily care, enabling them to realise their full potential

A workplace that recognises care and leadership as mutually reinforcing

Step Back to See What’s Really Going On

Away days create space to pause, reconnect, and see more clearly. Whether you want a short interactive session, a half-or full-day experience, or a retreat-style reset, I design psychologically informed sessions that surface what’s working - and what’s getting in the way.

Who it’s for:
Leadership teams or working groups navigating change, growth, or pressure - or simply looking to strengthen direction, trust, and team performance.

What you’ll walk away with:

A clearer shared direction and stronger team alignment

Better understanding of hidden dynamics and working patterns

Space to reflect, reconnect, and reset - not just perform

Delivered at your chosen venue, or I can recommend retreat-style settings where deeper reflection can happen.

Stronger Teams. Less Tension. Better Results.

Even high-performing teams can become reactive, competitive, or disconnected under pressure. I help teams gain insight into the emotional dynamics that drive behaviour, so they can align, communicate, and perform more effectively.

This isn’t about abstract models or personality tests. It’s grounded in psychology and evolutionary neuroscience, working with how humans are naturally wired to function in groups. When people feel safe and connected, they bring more focus, creativity, and clarity to the table.

Who it’s for:
Teams facing stress, change, or low morale - or those looking to strengthen trust, improve collaboration, and prevent burnout.

What you’ll walk away with:

A fresh, evidence-based view of your team dynamics and culture

Practical tools to improve communication, reduce reactivity, and build psychological safety

Greater trust, alignment, and resilience across the team

More balanced ways of working that sustain performance without added pressure.

A confidential space to reflect, gain insight, and lead with clarity.

Even the most experienced leaders can get caught in patterns they don’t see - shaped by habit, pressure, or early wiring. These responses often serve a purpose - evolved to protect, drive, or defend - but they may not always take you where you want to go. I provide a safe, non-judgemental space to explore what’s shaping your leadership, so you can lead with greater clarity, intention, and impact.

Who it’s for:
CEOs, senior leaders, and executives navigating complexity, change, or personal transitions - or those simply wanting to lead with calm, clarity, and presence.

What you’ll walk away with:

Sharper self-awareness and steadier decision-making

More intentional, less reactive leadership

Greater emotional range and psychological flexibility

Space to reflect, grow, and lead confidently.
