Dr. Elaine Smith

HCPC Registered Clinical Psychologist

The Leadership Psychologist

Dr. Elaine Smith is a leadership psychologist with a passion for creating compassionate, high-performing workplaces. Drawing on her clinical psychology background, she works with leaders to navigate pressure, prevent burnout, and build resilience in individuals, and across entire teams and organisations.

Elaine believes that people do their best work when they feel safe, supported, and truly seen. At a time when stress and staff turnover are rising across industries, she helps leaders rethink what strong leadership really means – why compassion isn’t a soft skill, but a vital strategic advantage.
