Associate Consultant
Lisa has acquired a diverse range of skills and experiences both in Human Resources and as a Psychologist.
Lisa and Steve first met and worked at the Co-operative Bank and Co-operative Insurance Society, where together they were involved in various talent management initiatives establishing new policies and practices. The initiatives were successful in identifying candidates for succession planning and the work became a critical function within the business. She was additionally involved in delivering developmental feedback to colleagues, psychometric testing and competency based group assessments. Lisa also worked on one of the largest change programmes in financial services in Europe at the time, which was fundamentally tasked with re-building a business.
She has recently returned to the UK after working as a volunteer assistant psychologist on a range of assignments in South Africa. In particular, she ran outreach programmes and workshops in rural villages and local crisis centres, focusing on HIV and its associated therapeutic interventions. She conducted psychological assessments in hospitals for patients suffering from HIV and reported on their suitability for antiretroviral treatment. Additionally she taught English in a local school and worked with children suffering from life threatening conditions for the Reach for a Dream Foundation. Lisa was the principal research analyst in a clinical HIV study and publication in the African Journal of Psychiatry in 2008.
Lisa has a BSc Psychology and an MSc Investigative Psychology, and is part CIPD qualified.
She is currently working in recruitment at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
