Meet Erica

Erica Bowen is an independent consulting psychologist:

HCPC-registered forensic psychologist and BPS chartered coaching psychologist, with a PhD in psychology.

Her work sits at two levels: the people carrying high-stakes work, and the organisations and programmes shaping the systems around them.

Through Erica Bowen Psychology, she:

  • Creates change processes at individual and organisational levels.

  • Analyses what does (and does not) work and why.

  • Advises on best practice, and

  • Ensures that staff at the sharp end of high stakes delivery can continue to do so without sacrificing their wellbeing

For Individuals

Sustaining people in high-stakes work

Therapeutic coaching, professional supervision and reflective practice for people whose work exposes them to trauma, risk or sustained pressure.

The aim is straightforward: to support you to do demanding work without burning out or absorbing the trauma of it.

What this looks like:

  • Therapeutic coaching, for people navigating career transition

  • One-to-one professional supervision, for coaching psychologists, leaders and practitioners in high-stakes roles

  • Reflective practice, individual or group, for teams working with trauma, risk or crisis

  • Restorative workshops and single day retreats, for midlife women.

Erica is listed on the British Psychological Society Register of Approved Practice Psychology Supervisors and is able to offer the required supervision to Registered Coaching Psychologists (4 sessions per year), and trainee psychologists seeking independent research supervision.

For Organisations

Designing change that holds

Erica works with organisations to co-design, implement and evaluate change programmes - from leadership development to workplace violence and harassment prevention.

This is applied, evidence-led and co-created work. Programmes are built on discovery, tested through delivery and evaluated against a clear theory of change, so organisations know what changed and why.

What this looks like:

  • Small business strategy consultation designed to help you reflect upon and build on your success and clarify what you need for the next stage.

  • Workplace violence and harassment prevention training, grounded in behaviour change evidence

  • Programme evaluation and theory of change work, for organisations that need to demonstrate impact, not just delivery

  • Group reflective practice and supervision for frontline staff

All organisational offers are embedded in trauma-informed practice.

Why I Do What I Do

I still remember the moment I was offered the chance to evaluate a domestic violence perpetrator programme, and it gave me goosebumps.

Not because evaluation is exciting in itself, but because I understood, immediately and personally, what was at stake. If the work was any good, it could genuinely help keep women and children safer.

That work taught me something that's shaped everything since: a programme can look effective on delivery and still not work, not really, not for the people who most need it to. So I've spent twenty-five years chasing a more precise question than "does this work": who does it actually work for, and what makes it stick, whether that's a change programme, a piece of training, or a whole organisation trying to shift how it operates.

I've also watched good people carry the emotional weight of frontline work until it cost them. So alongside the design and evaluation work, I care just as much about strengthening the people delivering it, so what we build together doesn't just work on paper, it holds, for the programme and for the person running it.
