Doherty Stobbs — Helping organisations and individuals reach their work and business goals

Doherty Stobbs is a professional consultancy firm using applied psychology to help organisations and individuals reach their business / work goals.  As well as focusing on work performance and business issues, such as business psychology and executive selection, we also pay attention to individual well being, as we recognise that this is part of the route to sustained individual and organisational achievement.

Our professional background and experience is in the fields of occupational/ business  psychology, psychotherapy, executive selection, stress management and organisational consulting.  This combination of skills within one firm is rare and allows us to provide a broad, but in-depth, service that can really get to the heart of issues - we help our clients take action with insight.

Our approach is to provide a tailored service that is insightful, ethical and practical.  We strive to be clear and realistic, whilst not ignoring any important complexities.  We remain focused on the needs of our clients, whether an individual, team or organisation, as well as the commercial and business imperatives within which they operate.  Our solutions are embedded within best practice standards and we source the finest tools available or develop our own.

Our interventions have included: assessment for executive selection, particularly sensitive, demanding appointments, mentoring, executive & life coaching, careers counselling / guidance, stress management, work performance,  job redesign and training. We work with a broad range of people from recently qualified graduates to CEOs.  We have worked in a number of areas, from search and selection firms, telecommunications, IT, legal firms, GP and vet practices to local and central government.  We also have specialist services for the third sector, the legal profession and people rebuilding their careers after a health setback.

Our services are broad and integrated and include:

  • Helping organisations select and develop staff, for example, aiding recruitment decisions through personality and ability assessment. Specialist services available for the Third Sector. We are also able to carry out company wide stress audits.

  • Career coaching / enhancing performance - helping individuals to increase their self-awareness, for example, assessment of leadership style; make more effective career decisions and to identify and work performance issues.

  • Litigation support / disability / expert witnesses - We are experts in advising the Courts on loss of earnings, vocational rehabilitation and assessment of retraining potential for people with acquired disabilities, following personal injury or medical negligence.  We also offer a range of services to help injured claimants rebuild their working lives and return to work.
