This practice provides psychological advisory services to senior leaders, family enterprises, and complex wealth systems operating in high-stakes environments.
The work focuses on human and relational risk — the psychological dynamics that most often undermine leadership authority, succession, governance, and long-term continuity, even where financial, legal, and investment structures are otherwise robust.
Across executive leadership and multi-generational wealth, the most consequential failures are rarely technical. They are psychological: rooted in identity, power, loyalty, authority, role confusion, and unexamined relational patterns that surface under pressure or during periods of transition. When left unaddressed, these dynamics increase the likelihood of decision paralysis, conflict escalation, reputational exposure, and structural breakdown.
Advisory Focus
This advisory operates at the intersection of leadership psychology, family systems, and governance.
Work commonly involves:
Succession psychology within family businesses and family wealth structures
Family office psychology, particularly where governance exists in form but is strained in practice
Executive decision-making under pressure, including founder transitions and authority recalibration
Psychological risk in leadership and ownership structures, where responsibility and identity overlap
Early containment of conflict before escalation into legal, reputational, or organisational fallout
Engagement typically occurs upstream of crisis, working alongside legal, governance, fiduciary, and investment professionals to stabilise decision-making and preserve continuity.

Experience and Professional Background
The practice is led by a UK-based clinical psychologist with over 15 years’ experience working with high-functioning individuals and complex human systems in environments where decisions carry significant personal, financial, and reputational consequence.
This experience spans:
executive leadership and founder-led organisations
complex relational and power dynamics
high-pressure decision environments
long-term psychological pattern recognition rather than episodic intervention
The work draws on deep clinical training, systems thinking, and applied psychological judgment, while remaining firmly advisory in nature.
Over the course of this work, the practice has received multiple professional awards and formal recognition for contributions to psychology, leadership, and applied expertise. Selected work and commentary have also appeared in academic and institutional contexts, as well as international media.
