Clinical psychology in organisation is the understanding of psychological drivers, choices and conflicts affecting work
How can I help
In my work, I combine change management theory with clinical psychology and systems theory for tailored interventions taking into account the many, often unconscious psycological processes affecting individuals and groups. This is particularly powerful in transformational crisis management, i.e. when an individual or group is facing an imminent crisis or threat to the present.
My consultancy work frequently involves crisis and resistance to change in organizations; often group dynamics, conflicts and group development. I sometimes assist in organizational due diligence or post-transactional work.
One critical part of my work is contributing to more developed self-reflection and emotional intelligence on an organizational level. Working as a supervisor or coach for groups and individuals, this focus will allow people to become more effective and compassionate - through sharpened analytical skills and self-awareness.
Productive and empathic self-talk is a critical skill often overseen, even though nothing is closer to our hearts
On psychological coaching
Coaching is a structured form of conversation and communication, where the coach offers tools for raised awareness and understanding in a supporting environment, providing focus and challenge in this pursuit, cutting through resistance and other defences against change.
Psychological Coaching uses techniques derived from clinical psychology, and methods for developing emotional intelligence but is generally more action- and solution-oriented than at least traditional psychodynamic therapy. In Psychological Coaching it is the coach’s job to identify more deep-seated psychological challenges, subconscious patterns that stems from early experiences and learned behaviors that may be heavily impacting on the professional role.
Effective coaching must, in addition to accessing the inner patterns of a person also take into account the entire system around the person; this means people, circumstances and relationships that are directly or indirectly impacting the person.
When working integrated and holistically with both the inner and outer patterns of a person, it is possible to become aware and make sense of the “essence” of different experiences. With gradual acceptance of “what is” change will inevitably become more accessible. This is true in both our professional and private roles.
