Our Work
We work with individuals, teams and organisations across different settings. Understanding people, relationships and context runs through everything we do.
Media & Creative Arts
Creative careers can involve intense working relationships, emotionally demanding material and periods of uncertainty. We offer psychological support for actors and creative professionals, services for talent agencies, and bring psychological thinking into the life of a production.
Production Psychology
Helping cast and crew work well together.
Long-running productions bring people together under unusual conditions: demanding schedules, time away from home and close working relationships that need to be sustained over months or successive seasons.
We approach cast and crew as a high-performance team. Alongside individual talent, we consider communication, relationships, different working styles and how people respond under pressure.
Start well
Build the foundations before the pressure builds.
We work with an agreed core group of cast and crew using Mindflick Spotlight profiling. Each person has an individual debrief with a JustForward psychologist, followed by a facilitated team session.
01
Stay well
Psychological support as part of the production.
At agreed points during filming, we return to offer confidential individual check-ins with members of the core team.
Additional confidential psychological support can be arranged where needed.
02
End well
Give the ending proper attention.
Towards the end of production, we offer confidential individual sessions and an Ending Well team workshop.
For returning productions, this also helps prepare the team to come back together next season.
03
Anchor sessions
1-1 Psychological support for actors and creative professionals to fit around productions.
-
Start before difficulties build. You don’t need to be struggling to book a session.
-
Check in across the year. A small number of sessions gives you space to reflect on patterns, relationships and the demands of work and life.
-
Flex the frequency. Meet more regularly during demanding periods, and leave longer gaps when you don’t need support.
-
Have an established relationship to return to. If things become harder, you already know the psychologist you’re speaking to.

Consultation &
Formulation
We work alongside practitioners to develop a shared understanding of a young person’s experiences, relationships and needs.
Together, we consider how past experiences and current circumstances may shape their responses, and what helps them feel safe, connected and understood.
This understanding guides practical decisions about support, helping teams respond consistently while recognising each young person’s identity, strengths and aspirations.
Reflective Practice
Working alongside young people can bring difficult decisions, strong feelings and uncertainty. Reflective practice gives practitioners time to pause and think together about their work.
The aim is to develop shared understanding, support thoughtful practice and help teams respond with greater consistency.
Training & CPD Packages
We design training around the young people you support and the situations your team encounters.
Sessions connect psychological research with everyday practice, giving practitioners space to consider how ideas apply to their own work. Topics can include trauma, attachment, the psychology of emotion, looking after the self, with the focus agreed around your needs.
Criminal Justice
Our careers began in prisons and the criminal justice system. We bring that experience to our work with police, prisons and other justice services, offering support to individuals, teams and organisations.
Through consultation, formulation, reflective practice and training, we help people understand complex situations, consider the impact of demanding work and make thoughtful decisions about their practice.

Consultation & Formulation
We offer psychological consultation to practitioners and teams working in prisons, policing and other justice settings.
Reflective Practice
Work in policing, prisons and justice services can involve sustained pressure, difficult decisions and exposure to distressing material.
Psychological support needs to recognise both the demands on individuals and the organisational conditions around them.
Sessions provide a supportive space to consider difficult experiences, share perspectives and reflect on how the work affects individuals, relationships and professional decisions.
Training & CPD Packages
We design training around the demands of your service and the situations your staff encounter.
Sessions connect psychological research with everyday practice. Topics can include trauma, mental health, relationships, communication, boundaries and understanding behaviour, with the focus agreed around your team’s needs.
We offer individual training days and ongoing CPD programmes, giving staff opportunities to reflect, discuss real challenges and consider how learning applies to their work.
