Our Story...

PsyQ began as a quiet commitment to making work better.

Originally founded in 2007 as GP Psychology Consultancy, it started as a small, trading-as company with a clear purpose: to bring psychological insight into the heart of working life.

In 2025, it evolved into PsyQ—a limited company with a sharper identity and a broader reach, but the same core mission.

PsyQ was founded by Dr Gemma Pike, a chartered and HCPC-registered occupational psychologist with a PhD in psychology exploring proactivity, simply put how people make things happen at work, and what that means for wellbeing and burnout. With one foot in academia, lecturing on psychology programmes, she has written papers on topics like menopause at work and hybrid working, blending an academic and practitioner approach.

Across all our PsyQ projects, one thread remains: a psychologically informed approach to helping people thrive at work.

From frontline resilience to strategic wellbeing audits, PsyQ’s work spans sectors and settings, but always returns to the human experience with a spotlight on wellbeing at work. Whether supporting prison officers, retail managers, educators, or digital trust and safety content moderators, the goal is the same: to make work better, with care, clarity, and psychological depth.

Why we are different...

Psychology-Led &
Practice-Grounded

PsyQ isn’t just wellbeing with a wellness gloss, it’s led by qualified psychologists, particularly occupational psychologists, who bring scientific rigour, ethical grounding, and real-world insight to every offering. This means interventions are not only compassionate but credible, with measurable impact.

Whole-System Approach

Where others focus on surface-level fixes, PsyQ addresses wellbeing at every level:

Individuals: Through interventions such as coaching, ACT, you empower people to build resilience and agency.
Organisations: We go beyond workshops to audit systems, redesign work, and align with ISO45001/45003, tackling root causes, not just symptoms.
Culture Builders: We support trainers and leaders to embed wellbeing into the DNA of their teams and programmes.

Psychologically Informed with Pedagogical Learning Design

Our interventions, courses and resources are crafted with psychological depth and learner-friendly language. You don’t just teach wellbeing, you model it in how content is structured, how learners are supported, and how emotional nuance is honoured.

Accessible, Flexible, and Human

From free resources to scalable online courses, PsyQ meets people where they are, whether they’re a time-poor manager, a struggling medic, or a wellbeing leader seeking strategic change. And behind every offering is a human touch: warm, wise, and genuinely invested.

Evidence with Integrity

We don’t chase trends—we build on research. PsyQ’s approach is grounded in decades of psychological theory, lived practitioner insight, and ongoing academic contribution. That means our tools aren’t just popular—they’re well-evidenced and research supported.

Clarity in Complexity

We help people and organisations make sense of the messiness of modern work and life. Whether it’s navigating stress, redesigning roles, or building psychological safety, PsyQ brings clarity, compassion, and practical tools that stick.
