Your leadership's experienced.
Your team's smart.
How is performance?
When your growth targets are 3x last year's, or you're merging, or market competition rockets, your people need to be firing on all cylinders. Sustaining high performance demands insight, as well as nuanced action.
Are your people match-fit?
The cost of average.
Lacklustre performance manifests in measurable declines across your business. At worst it can lead to reputational damage, loss of clients and ultimately the downfall of your business.
High peformance is inextricably linked to stress and mindset.
75% of executives seriously considered quitting their jobs for better wellbeing support. A record 622 CEOs left their positions during Q1 2024. Losing their knowledge, experience and perhaps clients that leave with them... priceless?
From griping at the tea point, quiet rebellions, to formal grievances and disciplinaries, discontent with "those above" costs businesses. 30% of employers saw grievances increase in 2023. The reasons:
Relationships with managers (54%)
Relationships with colleagues (49%)
Human skills matter...

"Pip, Will and The Circle Line team of therapists have become part of the furniture and take-up is extremely high at 27%. We found The Circle Line offer a much more proactive and engaging approach that superseded the faceless and less engaging nature of an EAP."

Our Expertise
We’re a team of accredited psychotherapists with decades of real-world corporate experience with a unqiue method to help create sustainable performance of your top talent.
Philippa Richardson
Founder & Transactional Analyst Psychotherapist
"The magic of The Circle Line is that we marry various key ingredients for sustainable high performance.
I married my experience as an ex-litigator at Dentons, then a Head of marketing, with my 4 years training as a psychotherapist after my psychology degree. I then married human experts with technology to create a tech-enhanced performance company that will lift the lid on your leader's behaviour, visualise it, and change it forever.
How we can help your leaders:
Grow revenue - improve relationships and mentality, identifying and changing the patterns that limit your sales ability..
Improve leadership - we're Transactional Analysts, an evidence backed psychology empirically-developed over 70 years. The "transactions" within and between us that are the building blocks of business.
Maintain wellbeing - our technology visualises the behaviour patterns across your leadership - so you can see what's getting in the way - then offers targetted 1:1 sessions to support.
Will Daniel-Braham
Leadership Coach & Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist
"I have over 25 years of experience delivering training and developing leaders and CEO's from start-ups to large organisations. I’ve worked in the private, public and voluntary sectors with leaders from HSBC, Ernst & Young, Stella McCartney, Morgan Stanley to UNICEF and the Fire Brigade.
I also featured as a coach in Channel 4 documentary, 'Ballet Changed my Life' supporting the development of a group of marginalised young people to perform Prokofiev’s Romeo & Juliet, alongside Birmingham Royal Ballet.
I'm a go-getter, love technology and have been instrumental in the development of small start ups and larger SME’s through coaching, training and the development of staff, managers and leaders."
