Pragmatic consultants in improving your quality of life.
What is your situation?
Relationship problems?
Concerned aboiut 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
Formative Experience and Social Learning
Transactional analysis
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.
