Board Certified Psychotherapist and Consultant in Leadership, High-Performance Teams & Organisational Wellbeing

Chardee McEwan-Guzda

Mental health issues cost the global economy about $1 trillion yearly, with 12 billion working days lost to anxiety and depression annually*

I work with leaders, founders, and teams to strengthen performance, resilience, and engagement by addressing the human and relational factors that influence how people function under pressure.

Services

Most performance challenges inside organisations are not the result of poor strategy or lack of effort. They emerge from sustained pressure, emotional strain, and unaddressed team dynamics.

I support organisations where:

  • Performance has plateaued despite capable leadership

  • Burnout and disengagement are increasing

  • Teams are functional on the surface but strained underneath

  • Leaders are carrying relational and emotional load without adequate support

My work focuses on strengthening leadership capacity and team functioning in environments where performance demands are high and margins for error are low.

How My Work Is Different

Traditional management approaches focus on outputs, targets, and process. My work focuses on the human systems that determine whether those structures succeed or fail. This Includes:

01. How leaders regulate pressure and decision fatigue

02. How teams communicate, respond to stress, and recover from strain

03. How unspoken dynamics impact morale, trust, and performance

This allows organisations to address challenges early, before they become costly or destabilising.

Impact & Organisational Outcomes

When strain and disengagement go unaddressed, organisations experience:

  • Increased turnover and recruitment costs

  • Reduced productivity and continuity

  • Leadership fatigue and decreased decision quality

By strengthening leadership capacity and team functioning, organisations often see:

  • Improved retention and engagement

  • More consistent performance

  • Stronger leadership resilience

  • Reduced downstream costs related to burnout and turnover

If you are exploring support for leadership or teams operating under sustained pressure, I invite you to get in touch.
