Team and Group Coaching

Change is emotional.

It's also inevitable.

Yet research shows 80% of us resist it.

Failing to acknowledge these facts of human nature can lead to teams that feel messy and uncomfortable, even for the most talented groups of people. The end result? Team performance and wellbeing is undermined.

At TCC we recognise the complex, multi-layered dimensions of change and are skilled to go deeper than others to facilitate the transformational growth that teams require to thrive.

The problems we solve

In our experience teams don’t just need structural clarity or behavioural feedback. They need safe spaces to acknowledge, feel, and process what change stirs up in people. In additional to creating performance uplift and group behavioural change, team therapeutic coaching offers something more: transformation rooted in understanding, trust, and healing.

We've seen the greatest impact helping teams in three core areas of challenge:

High performing teams navigating organisational change

High potential teams that are dysfunctional and in need of repair

Teams experiencing interpersonal conflict and disconnection

When high performing teams face mergers and acquisitions, redundancies and restructures, changes in leadership, or demanding new strategies and business targets, it's vital to consider the emotional impact and tshifting internal power structures. Only then can individual ambitions be aligned with team goals, organisational targets be effectively achieved, and the group empowered to thrive.

Case study

Sometimes everything is working on paper but failing to ignite in practice. We find a way through the messy, frustrating and confusing unconscious group dynamics that are playing out, impacting genuine collaboration and cohesion. We accurately diagnose the problem areas and then gently but powerfully bring them into the light, to facilitate the creation of actionable strategies that will actually work.

Case study

When trust has been lost, internal attempts to resolve team conflict hit a brick wall. Our expertise means we get to the heart of the issue quickly and accurately, rebuilding team psychological safety and enabling people to heal and move forwards in a way that is realistic and sustainable. This avoids disengagement, and absenteeism, and reduces the risk of losing key talent and costly, reputation-damaging tribunals.

What makes our approach different?

TCC's mantra: "The deeper the understanding of the problem, the better the solution."

The philosophy of our work rests on a core truth: change is both inevitable and emotional. What makes our approach stand out from others is our ability to work effectively with teams at all stages of performance and development. We believe that, like individuals, groups of people exist across a spectrum of wellbeing and performance. A team may be outwardly ‘high performing’ but inwardly struggling with competitive misalignment, or more visibly in crisis yet full of untapped potential for healing and growth.

Whether a team is struggling or soaring we empower them to navigate this emotional terrain; not

by bypassing it, but by moving through it.

We go beyond surface-level solutions

Too often coaching interventions focus on achieving tangible targets and changing obvious team behaviours whilst failing to recognise the deeper-rooted human and emotional dynamics that undermine genuine collaboration high performance.

In the same way that "culture eats strategy for breakfast", the fragile surface-level solutions that follow always crack under pressure.

We know this leaves people feeling frustrated, disengaged and disconnected at best, and results in conflict, and high talent turnover at worst.

We embrace uncertainty to release team energy

Our psychotherapeutic experience of safely identifying and holding strong emotions enables us to facilitate the honest, respectful and open communication required to navigate hidden resistance, disengagement, and sources of tension.

Combined with our psychological insight into patterns of high performing and dysfunctional group dynamics, we support groups to embrace uncertainty, create conditions of trust and authenticity, and better understand themselves, each other, and the context they're in.

This enhanced team clarity releases group energy and motivation, allowing the team to be coached towards creating solutions to their problems that are realistic, practical and sustainable.
