A FEW OF THE ORGANISATIONS I’VE WORKED WITH
01 / HOW I CAN HELP
My approach combines human-centred design thinking and behavioural psychology. Together, we co-create an approach that fits your people and changes how work happens.
Wellbeing and psychosocial risk surveys, employee listening and analysis that get beneath the surface. I help you turn the findings into practical ways to reduce harm, including putting ISO 45003 guidance into practice.
A clear, preventative wellbeing strategy with priorities, ownership and measures that make sense for your business. From a fresh perspective to ongoing fractional support, I help you put the plan into practice and understand what’s working.
Engaging training that builds on mental health awareness. Help leaders spot work-related pressures, have better conversations and work with their teams to make changes, including through uncertainty and organisational change.
HOW WE GET TO MEANINGFUL CHANGE
We start by understanding the work and the people doing it. Then we co-create, test and refine, using human-centred design and behavioural psychology to make change last.
Explore the four stagesSTART WITH PEOPLE, NOT ASSUMPTIONS
Surveys, conversations and observation help us understand people’s experiences, pressures and needs before choosing what to change.
WE LEAVE WITH A shared picture of what’s happening at work.
AGREE THE CHALLENGE
Frame the challenge together. Balance what people need, what the business can support and what’s practical. Agree the behaviours and outcomes we want to change.
WE LEAVE WITH A clear focus and a way to judge success.
BUILD WITH YOUR PEOPLE
Generate ideas with the people who will use them. Turn promising ideas into small experiments, test them in real working life and improve them using feedback.
WE LEAVE WITH Practical changes shaped by people and evidence.
MAKE THE CHANGE PART OF THE WORK
Build what works into routines, work design and manager support. Make the helpful behaviour easier to repeat, measure the difference and keep adapting.
WE LEAVE WITH Embedded changes, with evidence they’re helping.
Change needs the right skills, conditions and motivation.

When you work with Sisu, you work with me.
I’m a business psychologist with an MSc in Occupational Psychology and 20 years’ experience helping organisations make work healthier.
I bring evidence, curiosity and a practical toolkit. You bring an understanding of your business. Together, we work out what will make a difference, from a focused project to an ongoing partnership.
Frontline teams or the boardroom, I adapt to the people in front of me. The aim is always the same: make the psychology useful.
