Psychology & Coaching Support

Specialist support for psychologists, coaches and consultancies

With more than 22 years' experience in psychology and professional development, I understand the practical demands of delivering specialist services, coordinating client projects and managing assessment and development activities.


I provide flexible, remote project and operational support to psychologists, coaches and consultancies working across occupational, clinical, counselling, forensic and educational psychology, as well as leadership and professional development.


Whether you need support with a specific project, additional capacity during a busy period or ongoing help coordinating your work, I bring sector knowledge, practical experience and a conscientious approach to help keep things organised and moving forward.


My aim is to take care of the coordination and practical details, giving you more time to focus on your clients and the professional work you do.

Assistance with assessment for recruitment and selection

What this can look like in practice:

Supporting a senior-level assessment programme


Senior-level recruitment and selection programmes can involve several stages, multiple stakeholders and a significant amount of coordination. I can provide practical support throughout the process, helping to ensure that the necessary information, materials and arrangements are in place.


This might include:


  • Collating role requirements, job descriptions, CVs and supporting information.
  • Preparing competency grids, assessment documentation and materials for assessors.
  • Coordinating candidate appointments, feedback interviews and communications.
  • Administering online psychometric assessments and collating information for the relevant professionals.
  • Formatting and proofreading assessment reports and preparing briefing materials for the selection panel.


By taking responsibility for the practical coordination and administration, I help reduce the workload behind the scenes, allowing the assessment team to concentrate on their professional responsibilities and selection decisions.
