EXTERNAL GUIDANCE

When we step into leadership roles, we are also still becoming. The complex challenges of our teams, organizations, and communities push our competencies to new limits, and we realize we need an integrated support model of both strategy and self-awareness. Our unique blend of therapy and executive coaching offers guided support for leaders, combining domain expertise with emotional intelligence and tools for personal growth.

Why Workshop therapists 

“get it”

Sometimes we need to be guided by someone who has walked the road before us.

Our therapists supporting women in leadership development are uniquely equipped with both domain experience and counselling expertise.

Part-coach-part-counsellor, they guide clients through structured frameworks for professional growth, while also providing the space and time to explore deeper personal contexts and beliefs. These can’t be underestimated! They influence how we show up professionally and either hinder or help us authentically and confidently step into our leadership identities.

Does this sound familiar?

Your leadership role is stretching you personally and professionally, and feel a gap between the support you get from your exec coach and therapist

You seek strategic guidance in your work, alongside a safe space to better understand yourself and the implications of leadership

You’ve worked with therapists who lack industry context and the relationship has proven ineffective for today’s challenges

You know when you’re at your best, your team and organization is too, yet you feel challenged by imposter syndrome and doubt

IF THIS RESONATES, LET’S CONNECT

HOW WE CAN HELP

Our approach to supporting clients in leadership development is relational, insight-driven, and grounded in both emotional and organizational intelligence.

  • We believe leadership requires courage — both personally and professionally. Inspiring others and providing organizational direction involves specific skills and strategies, and it’s also deeply personal.

  • Leaders face challenges that call for deeper attunement to one’s identity, self-worth, strengths, emotional patterns, mindset blocks, and systemic pressures that can show up in high-performance environments.

  • Our practitioners offer a unique blend of coaching and therapy — creating space to explore the inner world behind leadership decisions, team dynamics, and professional visibility, while offering strategic guidance informed by lived experience.

  • We support leaders to unpack the personal while navigating organizational challenges: from conflict and complexity, to enhancing performance, and inspiring meaningful change.
