Who We Are
We founded Overly Analytical because we believe meaningful change happens when psychology is brought to life, not just intellectually understood.
We are Senior Consultant Psychologists, trainers, and writers as well as seasoned psychological therapists, specialising in leadership, performance, and the complexity of organisational dynamics. As clinical and strategic leads of a workplace psychology service and directors of thriving central London private practices, we’ve seen first-hand how powerful psychological thinking can be when it’s applied thoughtfully to leadership, culture, and wellbeing.
At the heart of our work is a simple belief: the health of any business is inseparable from the quality of the relationships within it. When systems struggle, relationships are often under strain. Our approach brings together deep clinical expertise and creative curiosity, drawing on roots in both psychological therapy and organisational science to create work that invites reflection, strengthens connection, and supports genuine transformation — helping people and businesses thrive from the inside out.
