Regulated clinical psychology, applied to the specific demands of sustained authority — formulation, evidence-based method, statutory oversight. For people who have outgrown what coaching can reach, and do not need what therapy assumes.
Dr Elliott's formation runs through four institutions: a Cambridge MA, an MSc in Organisational Psychology at the LSE, an MSc in Research Methods at UCL, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London. The sequence matters. It produces a particular kind of practitioner — one who understands organisations as systems, evidence as discipline, and the individual mind as the place where both converge.
Her HCPC registration is not a credential displayed on a website — it carries statutory weight. All work is subject to formal clinical governance. Your material is protected by clinical privilege, not a standard NDA: a legal duty of confidentiality that is enforceable, not merely contractual.
This matters at the level of engagement you are considering. The protection is proportionate to the sensitivity of what is discussed.
There is a form of strain that does not announce itself. You remain functional — effective, even admired. But something is working harder than it should: decisions that used to feel clear now require effort. The recovery that once came naturally is slower. Private life absorbs the residue of professional load.
Advisory and coaching disciplines are not designed to address this. They work on behaviour, strategy, and motivation — and within those limits, the good ones are genuinely useful. But they cannot work on the cognitive and psychological architecture that behaviour depends on, because that is clinical territory and requires clinical method.
This practice works on that architecture. The focus is not performance improvement — it is the preservation of judgement under load, across time, in the context of real and sustained responsibility.
The outcome is more practical than "better mental health." Decisions that feel like yours again. Capacity that holds under load. Recovery that keeps pace with demand. The quiet, verifiable sense that the instrument you rely on is being maintained to the same standard as everything else you govern.
This is an ongoing clinical holding context — not a fixed programme with a defined end point. It is structured around your actual situation, not a generic framework applied to it.
A brief written submission allows an initial clinical review of context and suitability. Submission does not presume engagement. It allows assessment of fit — in both directions.
Where the intake indicates alignment, a structured clinical assessment establishes the specific area of work — the mandate — and how it will be held. Nothing is prescribed before this stage completes.
Work proceeds within a structured clinical retainer. Frequency and form are determined by the nature of the engagement, not a standard package. Every retainer includes the private vault: audio protocols recorded for your specific mandate, with the clinical papers that underpin them — the between-session holding that conversational disciplines cannot provide.
Sessions are £500. Retainers are agreed quarterly and include the full vault, written clinical briefings, and priority access between sessions.
The practice holds a small number of retainers at any one time — currently three places from September 2026. This is not scarcity as theatre. It is the condition under which clinical depth is possible: each engagement receives the preparation, reflection, and between-session attention that clinical depth requires.
Fees may be self-funded or met by your organisation. Where an organisation funds the engagement, clinical confidentiality remains absolute: the company funds the structure, never the content.
