Get to Know Us
Every great journey begins with a moment of clarity. For us, that moment came from witnessing how workplace barriers silently impact those managing health conditions—talented professionals whose voices often go unheard, and whose potential remains untapped.
This insight sparked the creation of Elevation Occ Psy.Founded on robust psychological research and real-world experience, we set out to transform how organisations approach workplace inclusion. Our mission isn't just about implementing policies—it's about elevating workplace cultures to embrace the full spectrum of human health experiences.
What sets us apart isn't just our evidence-based approach or our deep expertise in occupational psychology. It's our unwavering belief that when we create truly inclusive workplaces, everyone benefits.
Our work is guided by three core principles:
• Evidence-Based Innovation: We combine cutting-edge psychological research with practical workplace solutions
• Authentic Understanding: Our approach is rooted in genuine appreciation of diverse health experiences
• Lasting Impact: We create sustainable change that transforms workplace cultures
Today, we partner with organisations across the UK, helping them build psychologically safe spaces where every employee can thrive. Through our research, consulting, and assessment services, we're not just changing workplaces—we're changing lives.

Meet Our Canine Companion and Office Dog!
My name is Trixie
I am 4 years old and spend my days 'working' with my dog mum. I keep her company, often snoring in the background, take her on adventures to meet my doggo friends, and explore the village where we live (and work) everyday!
