Dr. Lauretta Greer — Chartered Psychologist, Author and International Speaker

Dr. Lauretta Greer is a chartered psychologist and researcher whose work has always occupied the space where formal categories begin to strain. Trained in the traditions of depth psychology and contemporary practice rooted in psychological models, she has spent more than twenty years working with individuals, organisations, and practitioners at the boundary of what conventional approaches can address.

Her work draws on attachment theory, trauma-informed practice, organisational psychology, and the emerging science of transformative experience. She is not interested in neat answers. She is interested in the honest complexity of what people actually carry — and in developing rigorous, humane responses to it.

She is the author of Coaching in the Grey Space — a text that has become essential reading for practitioners working at the intersection of coaching and therapy. The book names territory that most professional frameworks quietly avoid, and offers practitioners a language and map for the difficult, meaningful work that inhabits it.

Dr. Greer is a sought-after speaker for specialist, academic, and corporate audiences internationally. Her talks are known for their intellectual rigour, psychological depth, and their capacity to shift how audiences understand the people they work with — and themselves. She has been featured in The Independent, Thrive Global, Startups Magazine, and WATC.

She is based in the UK and periodically facilitates psychedelic-assisted retreats in the Netherlands, working in partnership with Inward Bound NL. These experiences are psychologically rigorous, ceremonially held, and designed for those navigating significant life transitions who are ready to go deeper than conventional support allows.

The Approach

Rigorous foundations.
Holistic practice.

As a chartered psychologist and researcher, Dr. Greer combines rigorous, evidence-based academic foundations with a trauma-informed, holistic practice. She examines the whole person — personal and professional — with care, precision, and genuine curiosity.

This is not coaching as technique. It is the navigation of the grey space of stress, resilience, and mental well-being — where psychological insight meets the complexity of an actual human life, and where real, lasting change becomes possible.

Sessions are individually tailored. The pace is set by what is genuinely needed, not by a model.
