Therapy and coaching within organisational contexts aim to support mental well-being, vitality, and sustainable functioning. This may involve working with emotions, thoughts, and behaviour that currently limit someone’s effectiveness or health, or supporting personal growth so that a person can function more fully, take on greater responsibility, or grow into a more demanding role over time.
The work focuses on strengthening self-awareness and self-acceptance, improving interpersonal relationships and conflict management, increasing resilience, and restoring a healthy balance between effort and recovery. This often leads to better stress management and can help prevent burnout and other stress-related difficulties — supporting people to function more sustainably, both at work and in their personal lives.
Space within and between people
Therapy in organisations is about the space within people and the space between people. On the one hand, it supports individuals in having the inner space to do their work well, contribute ideas, and feel satisfied with their development. On the other hand, it supports their connection to the organisation and their ability to contribute meaningfully to organisational goals.
Investing in the development of people strengthens the vitality and resilience of organisations — especially in a world that is becoming increasingly complex and demanding.
What you can expect
People come to my practice because they feel at risk of becoming stuck in their work, or because they already feel overwhelmed or exhausted. Others come with a desire to develop further, strengthen specific skills, or work on personal leadership.
My therapeutic work is process-oriented. This means that from the very first session, we work actively with the client’s questions, challenges, or needs. I use a process diagnosis approach, in which the central issues or questions are explored and clarified early in the therapeutic process.
The work addresses a wide range of difficulties, often in situations where communication and relationships are important. Therapy is experiential, supporting both personal development and growth, and providing guidance when someone temporarily struggles to function at work — for example, due to burnout, stress, or grief.
Focus areas in organisational work
I support people who:
- struggle with unfulfilled ambitions or learning goals
- feel overloaded or overwhelmed at work
- have lost overview of their tasks, priorities, or responsibilities
- experience difficulties in collaboration or communication
- feel disconnected from themselves or their work
Therapy and coaching are used effectively to:
- reduce stress in the workplace
- clarify roles and responsibilities
- distinguish between behaviour that is still functional and behaviour that no longer serves
- explore relational dynamics and boundaries
- gain new perspectives on work-related challenges
Together, we work on looking at situations from a different angle, creating space for insight, choice, and change.
A client’s experience
“Robert helped me enormously to get things back ‘on track’. I truly needed this during a phase of life in which many things were happening at once. During the sessions, he addressed what I needed at that moment and brought structure, calm, and new perspectives. The conversations with Robert felt very natural, yet he consistently guided me back to the core of the matter. I always left with valuable insights and renewed confidence.”
