Our Team

DR FELICITY GIBLING

C.Psychol,  AFBPsS, HCPC Reg

With over 30 years’ experience, Felicity specialises in the coaching, development and assessment of executives at all levels of both private and public organisations. She works across a range of sectors including: financial services; manufacturing and retail; engineering; oil and gas; professional services; technology; law enforcement and prison service; civil service and local authority; and the health sector.

Felicity specialises in supporting clients to achieve their strategic goals through developing the potential and diversity of their people. She enjoys working with global companies, helping them to modernise and strengthen capacity, to find innovative solutions and to grasp opportunities. At the same time, she has never lost her passion for one-to-one development and coaching. She is a passionate advocate of personal growth and change through coaching, helping people to enhance personal, professional and organisational performance. Through the principles of psychology and honest feedback, she encourages leaders to increase self-awareness and realise the full potential both of themselves and their teams. Felicity believes that, no matter how big an organisation becomes, it will always be made up of a number of individuals each with their own personal histories, needs, aspirations and motivations. She finds that the skills of successful coaching – deep listening, caring, an open mind, challenge, questioning and a solutions-focussed approach – are also the principles that lead to success at organisational level.

GORDON HIRST

Gordon can draw upon many years of senior management and leadership experience, both academic and practical, which greatly assists him when helping clients who are seeking solutions that will really work. Gordon is also experienced in counselling, debriefing and advanced facilitation and training. His experience has enabled him to provide training in customer care, managing difficult situations, equal opportunities, job analysis techniques, and assessment, development and appraisal.

Gordon has experience in providing counselling and outplacement counselling to middle and senior managers. Working for a number of years with the police service, Gordon managed the metropolitan police assessment centre and was responsible for promotions up to the rank of chief superintendent. He later moved to the National Police College Bramshill where he was a director of training and development on the graduate entry programme.  Gordon helped set up Adept (Business Psychology) Ltd because he believed that, by combining his experience with that of a business psychologist, together they could offer a much broader base of knowledge and experience which would lead to more complete solutions for clients. For Gordon “releasing potential, unlocking talent” is not just a slogan; it is the passion that drives his whole approach to his work.
