Making every interaction count through empathy, insight & lasting impact.

Here at BehaviourLAB we are passionate about bringing Psychology and systems thinking to help solve some of the biggest challenges organisations are facing today. ​

What you get with us.

We work with our clients to understand their context, challenges and ambitions, and break this down into data informed insights and actionable interventions that leave a lasting impact on the business and its people. 

What we do.

We don’t think anyone has all the answers – and like all people, every organisation is different.  We work empathetically with your business, at all levels, from the individual through to the organisation. We believe that Psychology and systems thinking has a lot to offer and we draw on these disciplines to inform our work.

How we will work with you.

As Psychologists, we take ethics seriously, and it’s for this reason we place partnership and sustainable skills transfer at the heart of our approach. We want to leave you stronger and with more capability for the future. So, alongside our expertise, you can expect a lot of listening, collaboration and investment of time in your internal teams.

Why we do it.

We want to do something good! We love working on interesting and complicated challenges, and having fun along the way, but most of all we want to have a positive, lasting impact on the world. Part of our work will always include supporting charitable organisations.

We have three core services:

ThriveLAB

Supporting individuals to be their best at work, either through coaching, leadership development, or enabling transitions – for example, career transitions, and return to work following parental leave. 

We use a mixture of coaching models, Occupational Psychology, and Systems Leadership Theory to create bespoke solutions that will help people face the challenges of today.



Our ThriveLAB Interventions include:

  • Coaching
  • Psychometric Profiling
  • Leadership Development
  • Women in the Workplace

CoLAB

A play on the word collaboration, CoLAB is all about helping teams, from the executive to the operational, to understand each other and work effectively together. 

We use a combination of psychometrics and high performing team models to provide a common language to talk about who they are. Our interventions focus on building trust, resolving conflict and learning how to get the best out of each other.



Our CoLAB Interventions include:

  • Team Profiling
  • High Performing Team Workshops
  • Collaboration

EvolveLAB

We’re so passionate about using Psychology and Systems Leadership Theory to help tackle the big challenges organisations face today. 

We believe for organisations to make the transition to being truly sustainable, or diverse and inclusive, or even to succeed in a hybrid working world, we need to think about the whole system. We work with clients to ensure everything from strategy, policies & capabilities, to behaviours & culture, is aligned and working together.

Our EvolveLAB Interventions include:

  • Sustainability Strategy
    Development & Implementation
  • Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Strategy Development & Implementation
  • The Future of Work
  • Organisational Effectiveness Review

Sam & Laura - founders of BehaviourLAB

Hi, we're Sam & Laura.

We are both Organisational Psychologists and we first worked together, as consultants, in 2008 with clients such as Heathrow Airport, London 2012 Olympics,  Network Rail and The NHS.

BehaviourLAB is a much-anticipated dream for us both. It’s an opportunity for us to build a business that’s based on our values of working empathetically with people, providing evidence based insight and leaving a lasting impact.  

As Bill Marklein puts it “Culture is how employees’ hearts and stomachs feel about Monday morning on Sunday night”. We believe that organisations and leaders have a responsibility to create healthy, productive and sustainable organisations.

Client testimonials.

We held a facilitated workshop designed by Samantha prior to embarking on designing a new operational model for Hydrock. Samantha’s depth of experience together with her grounded approach were invaluable in helping us clarify and map the key stages and challenges we needed to consider.
John McElwee
Executive Director, Hydrock
I benefitted significantly from the support Laura provided to me in developing my leadership capability. We focused on two main areas; my role within a senior leadership team and my role as the leader of my own team. In both areas, Laura was able to help me explore strengths, weaknesses and current challenges. She was able to propose practical approaches and strategies to improve my performance and indirectly the performance of the teams in which I work.
