About Me
My work sits at the meeting point of psychological science and applied practice. As a researcher, I investigate the mechanisms through which high-quality listening and conversations facilitate attitude and behaviour change. Nurturing close relationships, authenticity and strengths, cross-cultural communication, and depolarisation of attitudes are outcomes I’ve researched. As a practitioner, I bring that evidence directly into coaching and consulting work with individuals, senior leaders, teams, and organisations. I have also incorporated key insights from my research into a unique supervision programme (as a BPS RAPPS supervisor) for listening practitioners seeking to level up their listening.
Consulting, Coaching, Supervision
Before returning to full-time research, I spent over a decade as a Senior and Principal Consultant in organisational psychology — working across Australia with leading consulting firms including Saville Consulting Asia Pacific, DBM and Lee Hecht Harrison. During that time I designed executive assessment frameworks using behavioural assessments and psychometrics (personality, values, cognitive ability). I coached high-potential talent, led large-scale leadership development and culture change programmes, and consulted to organisations in government, financial services, and health sectors. Internally, I focused on leading a team of consultants and supervising intern psychologists for formal registration .
Since 2015, having relocated back to my home country, England, I have combined coaching and consulting practice with academic study and research, working with senior leaders, government organisations, and regulatory/enforcement bodies on inclusion, wellbeing, and behaviour change. I’m passionate about increasing representation at senior levels and supporting high potential talent with diverse characteristics (including neurodiversity) to grow their success and careers.
Writing, Researching, Speaking
I have had the privilege to deliver keynote presentations, speak at conferences, and facilitate company away-days which I consider vital to communicate, translate and apply important psychological research findings in practice.
In the words of others
“What I admired the most was Tia’s ability to ‘bring me back into the room’ during our one-to-one coaching sessions when my self-limiting beliefs or perceived barriers took over. This is notably transferring into my daily life.”

Publications & Research
I believe research should be accessible to everyone, not just academics. That’s why I devote time not only to publishing academic journal articles, but writing more readable texts such as book chapters and professional articles. I’ve served as an editor of a coaching magazine and contributed chapters to several books.
