I offer a therapy of hope with an eye not only on history, but also on a purposeful future.

I recognise that we all have a True Self and that there are times in life when it can be particularly challenging to express this higher potential. Conflict between our emerging Self and learnt adaptations of the past can cause struggle and suffering. The context for all my work is to support you to live a creative life aligned to discovering and actualising your unique purpose, meaning and values.

I work with clients experiencing the inevitable human suffering caused by bereavement, illness, relationship issues, work related challenges and a whole array of life changes; and with clients who choose to engage with existential issues. My relationship with clients is authentic, collaborative and holistic. I encourage you to be truly you.

My work is informed by my extensive training in Psychosynthesis psychology, psychotherapy, counselling and executive coaching.

I practice from Milnthorpe and Ulverston in Cumbria. Coaching is also available online and I work as an executive coach UK wide.

I am a qualified Psychotherapist, Psychotherapeutic counsellor, and leadership coach. UKCP accredited and BACP registered. My main experience is working with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, burnout and life changing events. As an ex-corporate professional working in high pressure, multicultural environments I have particular understanding of the main challenges faced when trying to balance work and personal life and live in line with your purpose and values.

As a wealth manager in the City, I was attracted to explore psychosynthesis psychotherapy over 25 years ago. I had been finding it difficult to square a sense of who I truly was with the culture of my work environment.

I knew immediately all those years ago that responding to this call from my ‘potential self’ through the promise that psychosynthesis held for me, was the most responsible – and liberating – step I’d ever take.

I have continued an extensive training and practice in psychotherapy in tandem with a long career in the City and offer both private Psychotherapy and Senior Executive Leadership Coaching within organisations.

My particular interest lies in guiding and encouraging people towards self-actualization and the integration of their fullest potential in whatever sphere of life they are engaged. This process may be seen as a journey, which we share together for at time and requires only ‘the willingness and the courage to be’. To participate in life with joy is the goal at the heart of psychosynthesis therapy and coaching – and its achievement often comes in unexpected ways.

Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy & Leadership Coaching with Alex Boyle

What is Psychosynthesis?

Psychosynthesis is an advanced development of classical psychoanalytic, analytic, counselling and psychotherapeutic theory and techniques. Further, psychosynthesis broadens its vision to encompass the spiritual impulse common to all traditions, which leads the individual on in his or her quest for the unique meaning of their life and its ultimate fulfilment. Rooted thus in the mainstream classical approaches outlined above, psychosynthesis extends its field of endeavour to include techniques ranging through art, guided visualisation, dreamwork and imagination, sub-personality work and much more, so that each individual, in his or her own way, is offered an opportunity to re-evaluate their life and bring about change and personal growth, especially when:

Psychosynthesis, with its special focus on the development of human potential, aims to encourage people to acknowledge needs at all levels of being: this includes the health of the body, the emotions, the mind and the spiritual or transpersonal dimension. It recognises the influence of past events on the life of every human being and that each individual has a deeper centre of identity; it emphasizes each person’s potential for healing and growth and the individual’s capacities for choice.

Senior Executive and Manager Leadership Coaching

My coaching is based on the 5DL (5 Dimensions of Leadership) and GROW models for senior leaders, business executives and managers. For leaders to be effective quickly, they must be equipped with the right skills, knowledge and behaviours to enable them to lead their team and achieve their company’s business goals.

Drawing on my experience of over 30 years of a City career in fund management, equities analysis and business development and underpinned by my in-depth psychological training, I work with senior leaders to establish a plan of action enabling them to become effective and drive their business and personal goals forward more quickly. My coaching works with the individual’s personal mindsets and values, their relationships and how they operate within their work context.

For example, you may be:

  • Taking on a new role or career change
  • Implementing new strategy
  • Resolving teamwork and management issues
  • Encouraging wider collaborative processes across the organisation
  • Seeking to improve employee engagement and their potential

I offer specific issue-based coaching – equipping you or your people to manage crucial or sometimes difficult conversations.

The qualities of leadership are explored and developed as we aim for realistic outcomes based on a series of 6 sessions held fortnightly over a 3 month period. These series can be extended to additional sets, if desired.

Why coaching?

No matter how much we want a change, when it comes to making it happen, we are often the ones standing in our own way. So sometimes, we need outside help to see what we cannot see from the inside. Coaching can help you figure out how you really want to live your life and unlock your potential to make the change you want to see happen.

Why choose me as your coach?

I am passionate about driving positive and sustainable change in the world, be it in people or organisations.

I believe that everyone has the potential to do that and that it starts with taking the responsibility to change and better ourselves. Because how we are affects everyone around us. So we each have the power to create the world we want to see.

I work with professionals and aspiring leaders who want to live a more authentic and meaningful life, aligned with their purpose and become a powerful force for positive change in the world. Whatever you are seeking to manifest, I hope that working together will renew or give you a sense of purpose, direction and hope.

My approach

Whatever the context, my approach to 1:1 coaching is to create a safe space for you to pause and tune in to yourself. So you can reflect deeply about what is meaningful to you and get clarity on what change you want to make in your life. I offer a non-judgemental mirror so you can see yourself more clearly, without all the distortions or limitations shaped by your history and experiences.

Together, we will explore what really makes sense and matters to you, and help you find the answers within.
