Maximising human potential through evidence-based behavioural science

Helping individuals and organisations move toward value-based actions through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

Ross McIntosh

Business Psychologist & Coach

Over the last 10 years I have developed deep expertise in the design and delivery of workplace interventions based upon Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Once I discovered this behavioural science that resonated with me in such a profound way, I was compelled to make it the foundation of my independent practice for coaching, skills development and group facilitation.

I thrive when facilitating sustainable change with adults in every sector, from the NHS and Teachers to Hedge Fund Managers, Global Tech and Professional Ballet Dancers.

The power of ACT

With over 1,000 published Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) illustrating its efficacy for a wide range of human challenges, ACT is a robust and evidence-based foundation for behaviour change.

In the heady and arduous world of work, ACT has been shown to increase psychological well-being – a powerful predictor of performance, attendance and turnover. ACT offers a skills-based framework to help people develop strategies to avoid behavioural derailment whilst taking action to move towards what matters.

I work with individuals & organisations looking to make real change

My workshops and training programs offer scalable services for individuals and teams of all sizes.

ACT @ Work

I offer bespoke workshops, delivered directly to your people.

These can help people develop skills to navigate change, find meaning at work, prepare for challenging conversations & relate effectively to their anxiety.

Training Courses

I’ve trained hundreds of people in the application of ACT in the workplace. 

This training enables them to deliver impactful programmes in their own organisations based on a protocol co-written by me at City, University of London.

1 on 1 Coaching

I have a proven track record of applying ACT to Leadership Coaching.

This enables my clients to develop their authentic style, build resilience and deliver in a way that can flex to suit changing contexts.

Leadership Teams

I work with leadership teams in both the public and private sector.

This training supports them in exploring their purpose, whilst building trust, accountability, a focus on delivery and the capacity to disagree agreeably.

Group Supervision

I am actively developing a Small Group Supervision programme to support ACT practitioners in the workplace.

This will progress their skills and experience through facilitation by me and collaboration with others.

Prosocial Teams

The skills from ACT can expanded to the team and organisational level using an approach called Prosocial.

Combing evolutionary psychology, behavioural science & a core set of design principles to build collaboration and cooperation.

Real people. Real results
