Dr. Alison Whybrow is an experienced Chartered Occupational Psychologist who focuses on systemic, developmental approaches to individual and organisational change. With a substantial research background, she has particular interests in well-being and performance, and experience in supporting these through effective applied psychology. She has worked in the private and public sectors, at shop floor, middle management and director levels.
Her work has included the design, development and analysis of organisational surveys, training and workshop events, and selection and development centres, the provision of work group facilitation, career counselling and executive-level coaching, and organisational change management initiatives.
Her early research work focused on organisational processes, job design and stress resulting in her being awarded her PhD. Her later work at the University of Sheffield in conjunction with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) was concerned with the psychosocial stressors associated with organisational change and the effective management of change.
Alison currently works as an independent occupational psychologist, a Director of The Vedere Partnership and works with the Centre for Coaching. In her practice, she specialises in two areas: management due diligence and coaching. Within the British Psychological Society, Alison is working to promote the profession of coaching through the development of the Special Group in Coaching Psychology.
