Can you help? Meyler Campbell Alumnus looking for participants for his thesis research

Mastered graduate, Johan Depraetere, is seeking the help of the Meyler Campbell community with his thesis. Johan is currently enrolled in an Executive Master in Change and Systems Psychodynamics programme at Insead and for his thesis he is exploring the space where executive coaching and therapy meet.

As part of this, he is doing qualitative research on ‘therapeutic moments’ in coaching. These are moments where the clients get in touch with their unconscious and gain some deep insights.  He wants to explore how these moments happen, what actually happens, and what is the result for the client.

Johan is looking to interview between 10 and 15 people who have been coached. All interviews will be confidential and will last for one hour, either in person in London or via zoom.

If you have clients who would be willing to participate, please contact Johan by email or call him directly on +44 (0)7894 899152. Please note that he is working to a tight deadline and all interviews must be completed by the end of March, so he would appreciate offers of participation as soon as possible.

Johan has committed to share the insights and learnings from his thesis with the Meyler Campbell community.
