Nelisha Wickremasinghe

Nelisha has postgraduate degrees in psychology and family therapy, a master’s in public sector management and a master’s and doctorate in organisational change.

Her work at the boundary of psychotherapeutic practice and management development has taken her across the globe to support organisations such as Fujitsu, Thomas Cook, Amec Foster Wheeler, Nielsen, Lloyds Banking Group, Aviva and BT to develop their leaders and implement complex change.

Nelisha also developed and ran a successful organic food business and restaurant and, for 10 years, she was a clinical and management lead in the mental health and social care sector.

Nelisha works internationally with large corporates, teaching and consulting on healthy growth. She is a senior client director at Saïd Business School, an associate consultant at the Ashridge Hult Business School and managing director of her own practice, The Dialogue Space, which provides unconventional, whole-person facilitation and coaching for individuals, groups and organisations.

Her professional practice combines brain science and developmental psychology to develop individual, team and system resilience and collaboration in increasingly volatile times.
