Mindset
Matters

First-class psychology
to help you and your team fly.

Find out why

Your business depends on your people.

They do the deals. They create your culture. And they find and keep your clients.

  • Happy workers are 13% more productive.

  • 1 in 3 of your fit notes will be for mental health reasons.

  • 83% of employees are more attracted to organisations with a progressive culture.

But people are complex.

Behind every stat there's a story...

John, 39, junior Partner, burnt out and angry.

John loves the intensity of corporate work but he’s burning out. He thinks his team is letting him down and his clients are irrational idiots. He's increasingly angry and drinking too much to relax, but doesn't know how to change things.

Jasmin, 32, Business Development, withdrawn and anxious

She's bright, analytical and focussed. She says she’s an introvert and is fine with that. But she knows she rarely speaks in meetings.

Her manager is frustrated and tells her to contribute more. Jasmin thinks she's just “not a team player” and avoids client meetings. It’s a downward spiral. And there’s no help for her to change things.

What's this costing you?

£2,646 per employee per year (Deloitte, 2022).

In reduced productivity and absence.

Add into the mix toxic teams and prickly behaviour with clients... and how long is a piece of string.

So how do you create a thriving team?

Do you see psychology as the fabric of your business?

What training do you run? Do you have a shared language? How many use your EAP for personal development? Usually not many, even in crisis.

There is a solution... fit for the 21st century...

Make mindset matter... Then change it.

The relationship experts

Philippa Richardson, Founder of The Circle Line and Transactional Analyst psychotherapist:

"Business success largely depends on how we interact - whether you're advising a client, delegating to a colleague or negotiating with a supplier, the quality of the transaction will influence the outcome.

Whether you want to be a better leader, partner or visionary, master the art of the transaction and the world is your oyster.

Work and life, when you boil it down, is one giant string of transactions.

We specialise in Transactional Analysis ("TA"). TA reveals the patterns that limit you and your business: What’s your Script? What Games do you play? What are your Drivers?

  • It's one of the cornerstones of modern psychology. Internationally recognised and empirically-developed over 70 years.

  • There are only 900 qualified Transactional Analysts in the UK (the TA diploma takes 3 years).

  • Research shows it works. (Joel Vos & Biljana van Rijn, April 2021, The Evidence-Based Conceptual Model of Transactional Analysis)."

(And don't worry - your data disappears. No one's looking.)

In our partners' words

"Without the human touch that The Circle Line brings, any mental health support service becomes just an arms-length benefit that most employees don’t use. The Circle Line know how to connect and talk to our people. They normalise the subject and ensure we see real uptake and benefit from our investment.”
