Career Psychologist
I specialise in helping people to identify their best career direction. I use psychometric testing, one to one sessions, creative exercises, online decision making tools and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help my clients through the process.
Management Consultant
I used to be a management consultant, working at PA Consulting Group between 1997 and 2003 and then setting up Serco Consulting, a management consultancy, between 2003 and 2007.
I led a number of high profile assignments including:
- Developing a more entrepreneurial, responsive, ‘bottom-up’ culture at HM Revenue & Customs.
- Developing the concept of ‘people-led change’ with the National Physical Laboratory.
- Managing a project which sought to improve the performance culture right across the UK’s justice system. This assignment involved multi-agency working including the Police (I worked with 35 separate Police forces), Courts, Crown Prosecution and Social Services and won the Management Consultancy Award for Best Strategy and Business Transformation project.
I also played a key role in the internal development of Serco Consulting as it grew from a staff of 6 to over 150 by the time he left. I was bid manager for many of the key projects that Serco Consulting won and was involved in winning over £50m worth of consultancy and outsourcing projects. My work also included designing and leading staff training courses and designing and running staff assessment centres.
