Thulasi Mohanadas

Business Psychologist / Cognitive Behavioural Therapist 

Thulasi is an award-winning Business Psychologist and EMCC Accredited Executive Coach who brings psychological depth to leadership and team development. With specialised expertise in organisational trauma, psychological safety, and systemic team dynamics, she works with both individual leaders and teams to move beyond surface-level solutions and create lasting, transformative change.

​

Her unique combination of clinical psychology expertise and first-hand leadership experience enables her to work at the intersection of individual psychology and organisational systems. She has coached senior leaders and executives and facilitated team transformations across private and public sectors, with particular focus on women leaders, leaders navigating transition, team optimisation, and creating psychologically safe, inclusive workplaces.

​

Thulasi's approach is grounded in psychological depth work—exploring the root patterns and beliefs that drive leadership and team effectiveness, not just surface behaviours. As an EMCC Accredited Executive Coach, EMDR Accredited Therapist, and Certified Systemic Team Coach, she combines evidence-based psychological methodologies with experiential learning that creates sustainable change.

She works through experience, not just conversation. Using scenarios drawn from clients' actual workplace contexts, she creates opportunities for real-time learning and insight. Her clients value her ability to work skilfully with psychological discomfort and resistance—she creates the safety needed for people to be challenged and grow. Clients describe her as "warm, reflective and insightful" with an approach that balances deep listening with thoughtful challenge and fresh perspectives.

Individual Leadership Coaching: Women's leadership development, transition and change leadership, trauma-informed approaches for leaders managing complex organisational challenges.

Team Development: Systemic team coaching for high-performing teams seeking optimisation, as well as intensive transformation work for teams experiencing persistent dysfunction or recovering from organisational upheaval. Her approach addresses both relational dynamics and the deeper patterns that keep teams stuck, whether that's communication breakdowns, decision paralysis, or survival mode responses to past disruption.

​

Organisational Trauma & Recovery: Specialist support for organisations, leaders, and teams navigating significant disruption, working with the psychological impact of workplace trauma, restructuring, and crisis.

​

With over 20 years' experience in the health sector, Thulasi has led culture change initiatives and managed large, diverse clinical teams in highly regulated, complex environments. She was part of the 100-person multidisciplinary team for the Grenfell Tower NHS Service working with first responders and led the clinical team for an NHS Workforce Wellbeing & Resilience Service established during the pandemic.

​

Her research into psychological safety and cultural diversity in teams, published in 2021, informs her evidence-based approach to creating inclusive, resilient workplaces. She has worked with organisations including MVF Global, University of Manchester, Nuffield Department of Surgical Sciences, FDD International, Tree Aid, World Nuclear Association, Studio Graphene, Fivium, Royal College of Emergency Medicine, Royal Academy of Engineering, Global Strategic Communications Council, and the NHS.
