Pragmatic consultants in improving your quality of life

Relationship problems?
Concerned about your career or business?
Need an unbiased opinion?

Perhaps we can help

Often people try to take decisions with inadequate information.
We help you to a clearer view by providing sensible and understandable analysis leading to pragmatic plans.

Experience tends to be better than theory.
We have spent many decades assimilating behavioural psychology, psychometrics, communications, corporate development and – of course – personal relationships.

We offer consultancy for real life based on:

1. Formative experiences and social learning
2. Transactional analysis
3. The Control model



Formative experiences and social learning

Influenced particularly by the works of Bandura, Bowlby and Maslow we help you consider and understand the influences on your life so far.

This may include a simple template (Interpersonal Influences Appraisal © ) for self-completion.



Transactional analysis

This is a broader approach than that proposed in Eric Berne’s original work.

It is sensible, unbiased and non-judgemental. We help you examine relationships and communications before implementing. . .



The Control Model

This helps you to organise your life to put you more comfortably in control.

It is easy to follow and whilst effective immediately it can prove hugely helpful when it becomes instinctive. In this model we much appreciate the works of Frederick Herzberg and Robert Mager.

We offer analysis and a sounding board – we do not offer specific therapy or treatment.

If appropriate we may suggest a referral.

We make no charge for the first consultation and there is no commitment at that stage. Thereafter our normal fee is £70 per hour.

If we think we may be able to help we send you an email and we arrange telephone contact; you talk, we listen.
If possible, we respond helpfully.
Where appropriate we might suggest that you consult some other person or organisation.
If you would like a further conversation we arrange to meet and we send an agreement for you to approve and sign.
If we are to meet in the consulting room – in Tring – we charge a fee.

This is payable in advance.
