The services I provide to businesses and individuals
A member of the British Psychological Society, with both Master and
Bachelor of Science degrees from the University of Manchester, I have
run my own company, Insight-Psychology in Action , since 1989.
As a Consultant and Conference Speaker, I provide services to
corporate clients and individuals in a number of areas:
Consulting:
As a Consultant, I specialise in helping organisations and individuals
understand and cope with stress in the workplace. My work in this area
is described in detail on the next page.
I also act as an advisor to organisations who want to implement some
form of change to their systems, policies or procedures. Using my knowledge
of psychology and experience of working with people, I gain employee
buy in to proposed significant changes in working conditions. This ensures
the maximum performance from people with the minimum of disruption to
their working lives.
Public Speaking:
I have considerable experience of giving keynote presentations to conferences
and business seminars and am frequently asked to speak on subjects related
to my knowledge of psychology. Subjects I have presented on include ‘Less
Stress - More Success', ‘Maximising Your Self-esteem', ‘The Characteristics
of Successful People' and ‘Managing Change'.
Training:
Drawing on my extensive experience and original research I have carried
out, I have devised training programmes which concentrate on the practical
approach so that people who attend learn what to change about
their behaviour and how to change it. Included with every training
programme are additional notes, personal action plans and a subject-relevant
audiotape.
Personal Coaching:
In some cases, an individual becomes conscious of needing direction
or greater focus to master a difficult situation. These individuals are
often unhappy at attending workshops, either because of the time involved,
or the lack of privacy an open day affords. Through a structured series
of meetings, I am able to help individuals find solutions to problems
that suit their personality, requirements and time scales, often creating
significant improvement in the life/work balance of the person concerned.
A Personal Approach
As a Business Psychologist I am able to design training and/or coaching
programmes to suit an organisation's training needs. Highly interactive
workshops stimulate delegates to learn the theory behind an issue whilst
creating awareness of the need to be able to apply the theory in practice.
Techniques are developed to turn what people learn into how to do it.
Usually, I become involved with a project at the early stage of identifying
specific training needs such as when an organisation needs to design
a strategy to maximise the management of change. This is then followed
on by the delivery of bespoke-designed programmes that include follow-up
sessions to determine the effectiveness of what has been taught and the
retention of information.
