OUR FOUNDER

​

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? And the way we navigate challenges, changes, and complexities?

​

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 challenges, changes, and complexities in our working life — stress and burnout, shifts in professional identity, career transitions. 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. For instance:

 

• Workplace programs and initiatives aren't usually 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 ... and often, you need to sign up for a 'package' before you're even ready to take a step!

​

I started to imagine a psychology hub for these moments. A place to find playbooks, psychology-tools, psychometric assessments, and professional support —  for the challenges, changes, and complexities that shape your working life. Think: guides, templates, worksheets, tests and expert guidance — to help you make sense of where you are, and where you want to go. No generic 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) 

This is your psychology hub — welcome. ​​​
