Executive support
Executive support is a specialised form of professional guidance and training tailored to managers. It includes a range of talking therapies and methods to help managers with everything from managing stress to improving leadership skills.
Why does a manager need support?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, a lot of managers experience some form of psychological distress as a result of their work. This underlines the need for psychological support and guidance.
What set our therapist apart was her genuine empathy and personal insight. Not only did she possess a deep understanding of neurodiversity, but she also shared personal experiences that resonated with us, creating an instant connection and fostering a sense of trust!
