unwaveringly
on your side

WE LIKE TO KEEP THINGS SIMPLE.

Chelsham has always operated as a lean, agile, virtual business. In some ways 'collective' might be an apt description. This is a deliberate strategy.

Many of our assignments are led by or involve Tony Jackson, our founder. They may also involve one or more of the Chelsham collective. Depending on your requirements, it might be appropriate for one of the group to deliver exclusively for you, in a way that is complementary to and aligned with Chelsham’s core coaching and inclusion business.

Chelsham also has the capacity to scale up and deliver more ambitious projects in our core coaching and inclusion fields. You can also engage one of the specialists - a psychologist or mediator perhaps - who augment our work, delivering your desired business or personal outcomes but operating outside the boundaries of our core competences.

Some of these wonderful, talented people are featured below and we're proud to introduce them to you.
