Your people are carrying more than you know. 

​

​One in four employees is grieving right now, not just

from bereavement, but from redundancy, divorce,

illness, identity loss, and the endings that

never get named. 91% report a significant drop in

productivity. Only 11% of managers recognise it

for what it is.

​

This is invisible loss. And it is one of the most significant, and least addressed,

forces inside your organisation.​​

The cost of getting this wrong

UK businesses lose over £20 billion a year to grief-related presenteeism and absenteeism. Unaddressed organisational grief - following restructuring, redundancy, or significant change -

 

leads to productivity declines of up to 20% and turnover rates 31% higher in the year that follows.

The problem is not that your people are struggling. The problem is that nobody has given that struggle a name — or built the culture, leadership capability, and psychological safety to respond to it.

​

That is where I come in.

​

What I do

I am Dr Chloe Paidoussis-Mitchell - Chartered Counselling Psychologist, author of "The Loss Prescription "(HarperCollins, 2024), and keynote speaker specialising in invisible loss and psychological wellbeing in organisations.

​

I bring over two decades of clinical and psychological expertise into organisational settings - helping leaders, HR teams, and boards understand what their people are actually carrying, and build the conditions for genuine, sustainable performance.

​

My approach integrates clinical psychology, existential practice, trauma-informed understanding, and the neuroscience of emotional healing. This is not wellbeing as performance optimisation. It is leadership rooted in presence, responsibility, and care.

​

I work selectively with organisations committed to thoughtful, psychologically informed change.
