You’re not imagining it: The demands on leaders have intensified. There is constant pressure to deliver, deal with ambiguity and change, and still inspire others. So that stress you’re feeling? It’s the daily reality of today’s tough work environments.
We coach leaders to hold both clarity and care, accountability and compassion. Executive coaching helps you reconnect with what drives you, without disconnecting from the people you lead. If you want to lead with more impact and less inner noise, we’re here to support that.
We incorporate psychodynamic concepts that help leaders understand how unconscious drivers shape their leadership behaviors, Cognitive Behavioral Coaching techniques to help shift unhelpful thought patterns, and other deeply grounded concepts to help leaders build self-awareness, regulate stress, and lead through connection.
Put simply, coaching helps leaders and professionals grow. Psychotherapy helps leaders heal.
Coaching is future-focused, action-oriented, and goal-driven. In a leadership context, coaching helps clients clarify objectives, navigate high-stakes decisions, enhance performance, and grow their leadership presence. Coaches work with clients to surface blind spots, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop new strategies for leading effectively. Coaching focuses on development and growth. It’s about unlocking potential, not treating distress.
Psychotherapy is designed to address emotional, relational, or psychological challenges that may be impacting well-being or effectiveness. It explores the emotional undercurrents, early experiences, and deep-seated unconscious patterns that shape how someone feels, thinks, relates, and leads. In a professional context, psychotherapy can help with issues like burnout, anxiety, chronic stress, impostor syndrome, sense of self, or the personal cost of holding it all together. It provides a safe space to work toward emotional healing, insight, and change. Psychodynamic psychotherapy is generally over a longer period.
At Percepta Leadership, we offer both kinds of support to meet different needs.
Yes. Where a client is seeking psychotherapy and coaching services, we carefully consider how to structure this dual support while maintaining the strict ethical guidelines governing our coaching and psychotherapy services.
Absolutely. We offer free discovery calls to talk through your needs and see if we’re a good fit; no pressure or obligation.
Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (CBC) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that draws on evidence-based principles from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), adapted for the coaching context. It’s designed to help individuals identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, strengthen problem-solving skills, and cultivate more flexible, adaptive thinking. At the heart of CBC is a simple yet powerful idea: our thoughts shape our emotions, and our emotions shape our actions. When we change how we interpret events, we open the door to more constructive emotional responses and behaviour.
