Hello my name is Leisha.

Leisha Redmond McGrath: Psychologist, Coach and Shaman

I am a novel Psychologist and Coach because I am also a Celtic Shaman. I am a novel Celtic Shaman because I am also a Psychologist and Coach. These two very different practices of modern science and ancient wisdom may seem worlds apart, but bringing them together helps me offer something completely unique.

Working as a Work & Organisational Psychologist and Workplace Coach for 25 years, I believe that scientific methods alone aren’t always enough to instigate long lasting change. Looking at the world we live in now I believe a new, more holistic approach is required.

Working with me starts with nurturing a deeper sense of self-connection, utilising psychological, coaching and shamanic techniques to help create deep, transformative change. Other less-experienced Coaches and Consultants will tell you what to do, using the same text-book theories and methods. As a Thought Leader in this space, I will give you the life-long tools to work it out for yourself. 

I call this the ‘Inside Out’ method, designed for individuals, organisations and  communities who share my hope for a more sustainable, compassionate and inter-connected world.

I believe we can all learn to live, lead and love from the inside out, with confidence, clarity and authenticity.

Let me show you how.

The Inside Out Approach

Working as a Work & Organisational Psychologist and Coaching Psychologist for many years I saw the same themes coming up with clients time after time. Seemingly successful and happy people felt they were losing their way in the pressures of modern life. They felt disconnected from themselves and those around them. There were problems in their life or work they didn’t know how to fix. They felt uncertain of who they were, or what they were doing. Their ‘outer world’ felt dislocated from their ‘inner world’.

This disconnection is not something our ancestors experienced. They lived a life deeply connected to the natural world and those around them, they trusted their intuition and were driven by their true needs and instincts. Shamanism was born in this time, but its timeless wisdom can help us today to deeply and profoundly realign and rebalance.

The Inside Out approach was developed using my combined training in Psychology and Shamanism to take people on a journey of deep re-connection. This unique methodology forms the backbone of my one-to-one coaching, workshops and courses for individuals, businesses and communities.

How can the Inside Out Approach help you?

Working together we can help you transform whatever you need to change, whether you’re working in an organisation and need support in strengthening your strategic and talent agendas or feel personally unfulfilled, burned-out, and ready for deep, transformational change and connection within your community.

 Side-by-side, we get to the heart of your challenge, explore deeply who you are and what is needed now, and redesign and build fundamental, lasting shifts for a life, work and/ or community space you consciously choose.

Individuals

Are you feeling stuck, unfulfilled or burnt-out?

I believe that self-connection is the foundation for all happiness and well-being. Working with me in a small workshop group, my ‘Inside Out’ program will take you through three transformative phases.

Together we will work on key areas of psychological wellbeing. We’ll use Shamanic techniques to explore your lineage and unblock and restore your natural energy. Finally, we’ll help you bring your best self into the world and the communities in your life.

Organisations

Are you responsible for a key function in a business with a heart? Or striving to grow your team or company?

From psychometrics, strategy and operational design to culture and coaching I can help you make powerful, lasting change happen.

I work with organisations who subscribe to the paradigm of ‘do no harm’ and care about their planet and people’s wellbeing. If that sounds good to you, let me introduce you to my three-step model, developed over 25 years of working with organisations and the people in them. Together we can transform your business from the Inside Out.

Community

Communities, where we choose to live and work and be, are the new families of the future.

But just like families they are made up of a diverse collection of individuals.

Strengthening a community starts with working on our own, individual self-connection and wellbeing. Find out how my programme of Inside Out workshops will nurture each of you, nourish you as a group, and bring your community together with unity, energy and purpose.

Testimonials

  • “By creating a non-judgemental environment while staying critical, I was pushed to think through my own assumptions and be open in identifying or re-affirming my natural strengths and development areas. As I am working in a fast paced and an always changing environment my needs and topics changed too. Leisha kept me on track by linking ad hoc scenarios to our overarching goals maintaining the common thread throughout”.

    Wouter Siebelink, Director
    SALES FORCE

  • “I couldn’t recommend Leisha more as an executive and life coach. She really helped me stay focused and on track. She helped me focus on my strengths rather than dwell on weaknesses. Leisha has a unique ability to recognise where you are and assist you with understanding where you need to be while offering up tools on how to get there.”

    Annelie McCaffrey, Chief Marketing Officer

  • “I have already recommended Leisha to peers. Leisha has a great coaching style combined with professional experience knitted through the project - which made the sessions very practical. I think this would suit many peers who have had issues with other coaching styles or training before.”

  • “The coaching was invaluable in terms of allowing me to position myself within the new leadership role I assumed within the team; I strongly believe that the action items we agreed and which I implemented, helped establish my credibility. The knock-on effect for the organisation is to have a highly engaged and effective team in place.”

  • “I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Leisha to support organisational and individual coaching, learning and talent development solutions, in fact I have recommended her on a number of occasions! Leisha brings to the table tons of experience and leading practice expertise, but also a very flexible, collaborative and pragmatic approach. The result has been incredibly customised and meaningful solutions, delivered in a credible and authentic style, which have a big impact on individuals, teams and the organisation”.

    Ingrid Wallace, VP Organisation Development
    BOXEVER

  • “Although I went into the sessions to focus on work, I gained more than that. I have achieved so much, personally and professionally, with Leisha in such a short space of time. I left my final session feeling stronger, more confident, and empowered, all of which was achieved in a safe, knowledge-filled, transformational and focused environment. It has changed how I work but also how I look after myself while working.”

    Rachel Greaney Head of FP&A EMEA

  • “Leisha did a 90 minute session with our team and it was very insightful. The team got some great tips around well-being that we will take forward. Leisha was a pleasure to deal with and everyone really found the session helpful!”

    Mark O’Toole, Director
    KPMG IRELAND

  • “It's incredibly hard to find the words to capture just how special last Sunday was. I really wasn't sure what to expect from the day but felt drawn to it, having watched your Instagram stories. Boy, am I so glad I followed my gut. It was just what I needed. The energy in the room was something special and I feel so lucky to have been there. You guided us all so well, and your words honestly reached into my soul. I felt so strong, clear-headed, refreshed and grounded after the session (and three days later still feel the same).”
