Dr Robyn Vesey

Prior to joining Tavistock Consulting in 2014, Robyn was a consultant clinical psychologist in the NHS, and she continues to work in private practice. She has wide-ranging experience in training and tutoring on professional training programmes. She is currently a visiting lecturer at the University of East London and a research tutor on the Professional Doctorate in Advanced practice and research: consultation and the organisation at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust. She is an occasional contributor to national media on the psychology of the workplace, including in the Guardian, Times and Financial Times.

“In this masterclass, I introduce the model that I work and engage with in my work at Tavistock Consulting, coaching leaders across health, government, charity and business organisations. Bringing both psychoanalytic and systems thinking to work situations is the grounding of the work that I do, and I see leaders and managers gain crucial insights in coaching – the insights that come about when you think with someone else in a reflective and meaningful space. I hope that participants will get a sense of the depth of Tavistock Consulting’s approach to executive coaching, and I’m excited to share some of the key concepts that make up this approach.”
