Counselling and Coaching for Doctors
Natalie Harman helps doctors navigate complex hospital workplace environments, build emotional capacity and integrate work and life.
Improving Wellbeing for Doctors
Doctors are routinely exposed to trauma and the chronic stress of having to make hundreds of rapid critical decisions every day.
​
Add to this scenario the pressures of hierarchical hospital cultures, workplace conflicts, competitive training pathways, intense examination pressures, and career trajectory concerns.
​
These stressors can affect doctors’ work performance and clinical outcomes, along with their ability to build and sustain strong personal and family relationships outside the workplace.
With most hospital doctors working shifts, finding the time and support to attend to their wellness and mental health can be near impossible.
​
Like everyone, many doctors experience home and family pressures. Work demands are exacerbated by trauma, exam anxiety and constant stress, leading to overwhelm and burnout.
​
Natalie Harman supports better physician wellbeing and healthier cultures to grow thriving hospital workplaces.
