About
I am Dr Susan Haigh, an Occupational Psychologist, Coach and Psychodynamic Counsellor.
At the heart of my work is an interest in what makes us who we are and how a deeper understanding of ourselves can change the way we work, relate and live.
Throughout my work in psychology, coaching and counselling, I have been interested in how often capable, thoughtful people understand intellectually what they want to change, yet still find themselves caught in familiar patterns.
That is what drew me toward a more psychodynamically informed way of working, one that considers not only what we do but also what may be influencing our responses under the surface.
I am a full member of BPS, an HCPC-registered Occupational Psychologist, a Coach and a BACP-registered Counsellor. My work brings together evidence-based occupational psychology with psychodynamic thinking and reflective practice.
My doctoral research explored the psychological and relational foundations of leadership development, including attachment, self-awareness, self-regulation and leadership behaviour.
Author of Work Better, Live Better
I am also the author of Work Better, Live Better: A 7-Step Guide to Help You Love What You Do and Do What You Love – a practical guide to knowing yourself better, understanding what matters to you and creating a working life that fits.

How I work
I offer a thoughtful, collaborative space in which there is time to be curious rather than rush towards an answer. I am interested in helping people make connections, notice patterns and develop a deeper understanding of themselves while keeping sight of the real-life situations that have brought them to me.
