Hello my name is Leisha.
I am a novel Psychologist and Coach because I am also a Celtic Shaman. I am a novel Celtic Shaman because I am also a Psychologist and Coach. These two very different practices of modern science and ancient wisdom may seem worlds apart, but bringing them together helps me offer something completely unique, and wholly relevant in today’s modern world.
I am a Chartered Occupational Psychologist, a Chartered Work and Organisational Psychologist and a Chartered Coaching Psychologist, and an accredited Professional level Executive Coach. I have been working commerically for 25 years, but now believe that scientific methods alone aren’t always enough to instigate long lasting, relevant change. Looking at the world we live in now I believe a deeper, more holistic approach is required. One that acknowledges our inter-dependence with each other, and the world around us. That’s why I also studied for many years to become an Irish Celtic Shaman, a wisdom I practice daily.
Working with me starts with nurturing a deeper sense of self-connection, utilising psychological, coaching and shamanic techniques to help create deep, transformative change. Other less-experienced Coaches and Consultants will tell you what to do, using the same text-book theories and methods. As a Thought Leader in this space, I will give you the life-long tools to work it out for yourself.
I call this the ‘Inside Out’ method, designed for individuals, organisations and communities who share my hope for a more sustainable, compassionate and inter-connected world, in which we all thrive personally and professionally.
I believe we can all learn to live, lead and love from the inside out, with confidence, clarity and authenticity.
Let me show you how.
The Inside Out Approach
Working as a Work & Organisational Psychologist and Coaching Psychologist for many years I saw the same themes coming up with clients time after time. Seemingly successful and happy professionals at the top of their game, felt they were losing their way in the pressures of modern life. They felt disconnected from themselves and those around them. There were problems in their life and work they didn’t know how to fix. They felt uncertain of who they were, or what they were doing. Their ‘outer world’ felt dislocated from their ‘inner world’.
All of this happening at a time when our Planet and collective mental and physical health is nose-diving. Living in a high stress, capitalist society, disconnected from ourselves and Nature, is not something our Ancestors experienced. Shamanism, a nature based wisdom tradition has survived the world over, since the dawn of time, because it recognises our need to live in partnership with each other, and the world around us. Harnessing this timeless wisdom, (reconfirmed by physicists in the lab), can help us today to deeply and profoundly realign, rebalance and reconnect.
Leaning heavily on my Psychology training, and with some blended Shamanic elements, I developed my Inside Out approach, to help people, organisations and communities on a journey of deep re-connection, and inter-dependence. This unique methodology forms the backbone of much of my one-to-one coaching, workshops and programmes of work for individuals, businesses and communities.
How can the Inside Out Approach help you?
Working together I can help you transform whatever you need to change, whether you’re working in an organisation and need support in strengthening your strategic and talent agendas or feel personally unfulfilled, burned-out, and ready for deep, transformational change and connection within your community.
Side-by-side, we get to the heart of your challenge, explore deeply who you are and what is needed now, and redesign and build fundamental, lasting shifts for a life, work and/ or community space you consciously choose.
Individuals
Are you feeling stuck, unfulfilled or burnt-out?
I believe that self-connection is the foundation for all happiness and well-being, and our capacity to thrive at home, and at work. My proprietary research tells me that so many of us are disconnected from our inner selves, and lacking the skills for change. If we don’t have this basic foundation, then no matter what we do to try and address our issues, the changes won’t stick.
You can work with me as an Individual either on a 1:1 basis, or as part of a small group workshop series. Whatever approach we take, I can guarantee you a supported, judgement-free experience, wherein you will get to know yourself better and learn the bespoke building blocks you need for lasting change.
Organisations
Are you responsible for a key function in a business, or striving to grow your team or company?
From psychometrics, strategy and operational design, to culture, development and everything in between, I can help you make powerful, lasting change happen.
I work with organisations who subscribe to the paradigm of ‘do no harm’ and who are actively taking steps to become more sustainable in their business functioning.
It is a certainty that the organisations that will survive and thrive in the future, are the ones that intertwine a sustainability agenda with their financial strategy. Let me share my 25 years commerical experience to turbo charge your business, and together we can transform your business from the Inside Out.
Community
Communities, where we choose to live and work and be, may be the new families of the future. Modern phenomena of climate and economic migration, as well as hybrid work practices, can be seen to be shaping new developments in our community structures, offering a host of opportunites and challenges.
Sustainable organisations are increasingly acting in partnership with the stakeholders in their communities, and these symbiotic relationships are crucial. When we add to this, the technolgical resources at our disposal it is plain to see that we now operate in a global village.
Working effectively in a community takes skill, and a clear shared agenda. Getting it right, is so important. I would love to to help bring your community together with unity, energy and purpose.
