Frequently asked questions

How much does Tavistock Consulting cost?

Tavistock Consulting's Executive Coaching Programme, an 18-month training route to becoming an accredited coach, costs £10,840. This is a training-programme fee, not the cost of engaging Tavistock to coach an organisation's own leaders.

Who has Tavistock Consulting worked with?

Named clients include Channel 4, Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust (CNWL), Cobalt, Crisis and IMD business school.

What approach does Tavistock Consulting use?

It uses a systems-psychodynamic approach, combining systems thinking, group relations and psychoanalytic thinking. It looks at the less visible dynamics in teams and organisations and works by developing hypotheses rather than moving quickly to solutions.

Is executive coaching delivered online or in person?

Both. After a first conversation, the coach and client agree a focus and a pattern of sessions, online or in person. Coaches have masters or doctoral-level training in the systems-psychodynamic approach.

Is Tavistock Consulting part of the NHS?

Yes. It was part of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust, which became part of North London NHS Foundation Trust on 1 April 2026.
