We understand that today’s fast-changing business world demands more than traditional models—it requires real-world, holistic support that bridges high-impact corporate strategy with the complexities of human resilience and personal growth. This rare combination positions Psyched Ventures at the forefront of the zeitgeist, equipping leaders not only to achieve profitability but to become powerful, authentic, and enduring agents of change. There is simply no other firm worldwide offering this integrated approach to advisory and leadership development.
With a unique blend of operational experience, global outlook, and psychological expertise, Kathleen brings clarity and challenge to the most senior rooms. Having lived and worked across both the UK and US, and held leadership roles within some of the world’s largest media and digital organisations, she is known for helping ambitious businesses—and the people who lead them—unlock their full potential.
With a deep blend of psychological coaching and performance psychology, they help uncover unseen blockages between Board members, resolve hidden tensions, and unlock untapped potential across the leadership team. From one-to-one coaching to transformative group dynamics work, Psyched Ventures supports Chairs, CEOs, and Boards to lead with greater clarity, cohesion, and impact.
Kathleen Saxton and Psyched Ventures stand apart by offering a coaching practice rooted in real-world boardroom experience and elite psychological training. With a highly respected team of associate coaches—Maria Fay, Mike Anderson, David Mansfield, and Jim Hytner—each of whom has held board-level executive roles before mastering the craft of executive coaching, Psyched Ventures delivers counsel that is both deeply insightful and immediately practical. These are coaches at the top of their game, in high demand for their rare ability to guide C-suite leaders through the real-time challenges of leadership with authority, empathy, and impact.
Psychotherapy offers a safe, confidential space to explore what may be troubling, confusing, or limiting you, whether rooted in the past or unfolding in the present. The decision to begin therapy is a powerful step, and the relationship between you and your therapist—the therapeutic alliance—is at the heart of its success. That’s why it’s so important to find a therapist who feels like the right fit for you.
At Psyched Ventures, Kathleen Saxton has curated a trusted network of exceptional psychotherapists—each carefully selected for their depth of training, professionalism, and emotional insight. These are individuals we would recommend without hesitation, and you can find their biographies in the Our People section to help you begin exploring who you might like to speak with.
It’s also helpful to understand the distinction between psychotherapy and coaching. Psychotherapy is a clinical, often longer-term process that helps individuals understand, process, and heal emotional wounds, psychological patterns, or trauma. Coaching, by contrast, is typically forward-focused, aiming to optimise performance or decision-making. Both are valuable, but they serve different needs. If you’re unsure which is right for you, we encourage you to begin with a chemistry meeting—an informal, no-obligation conversation to explore what’s coming up for you. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious, now is always a good time to begin the work of healing, understanding, and growing.
Please note that these priority services carry an understandably higher fee to reflect their availability and responsiveness.
