Safer workplaces. Steadier leaders.
People who feel seen.
I'm Jack O'Leary — counsellor, psychotherapist, facilitator and workplace mental health consultant. I help organisations understand and manage psychosocial risk, work with leaders under pressure, and sit with individuals and couples one to one.

The hazard you can't see on a walk-around
Psychological health and safety is shaped by the way work is designed, managed and experienced. Workload, role clarity, support, change, conflict and exposure to distressing material are hazards in their own right, and they don't show up in a physical inspection.
The work goes beyond awareness training. It examines the systems, demands, relationships and working conditions contributing to risk, then turns the findings into practical action.
How the work runs
When you keep having the same argument
I work with couples using the Gottman Method — an approach built on decades of research into what keeps relationships together, and what quietly pulls them apart.
We start by understanding how the two of you argue, not just what about. Most couples arrive convinced the problem is the other person. Usually it is the pattern between you, and patterns can change.
