OUR story
I’ve always been curious about humans at work. What makes us choose the work we choose? What does it look like to work in a way that 'fits' who you are — and what happens when it doesn't? What influences how we show up in our working life?
That curiousity led me to a career in organisational and positive psychology: the science of work and wellbeing. I’m a registered psychologist with over a decade's experience, including Big 4 consulting, MBA teaching, advisory boards.... and for years, I worked with the team behind the world’s first gamified emotional intelligence test.
Over many years of study and practice, I kept seeing the same thing — we all face moments of change, challenge, and complexity in our working life — stress and burnout, career transitions, shifts in professional identity. These moments don’t always look like a crisis, and they don’t always call for a dramatic change. But they do require nuanced, expert, thoughtful support as people try to make sense of where they are and how to move forward.
And yet, finding support isn’t straightforward:
-
Workplace programs and initiatives are rarely tailored to individual circumstances, and often feel generic, reactive, or constrained by organisational agendas.
-
Career counselling can feel misaligned if you’re not trying to make a big professional 'leap' — but are instead grappling with ambiguity, complexity, or questions about meaning, direction, or sustainability in your work.
-
Coaching can be prohibitively expensive, especially when it’s unclear what you really need or where to focus your time and energy. Finding a coach who “fits” you and your situation can feel like a gamble, and it can be hard to justify the investment without some clarity about what you want to work on.
I started to imagine a psychology hub for these moments. A space to find psychology-tools, digital resources, and professional support. Think: assessments, guides, workbooks, worksheets — to explore and complete at your own pace, make sense of where you are, and reflect on where you want to go — gently and thoughtfully. Here, expert guidance (1:1 consults, psychometric assessments) is available if and when you want it — no rigid programs, no costly packages, no pressure to commit.
So I created it: myndly (pronounced mind-lee) {adjective} way of approaching your working life, with mindfulness (awareness of self,) and intentionality (deliberate action)
A psychology hub: psychology-tools, digital resources, and professional support — for the challenges, changes, and complexities that shape your working life.
