Sometimes, it’s just really helpful to talk to someone who can actively listen and understand your specific problems relating to your job, and industry. Sometimes, you don’t want to burden those closest to you with issues; perhaps they even involve those people – or they wouldn’t really understand. Having someone outside of a situation listen and sit with you whilst you work it through can be really helpful. Having someone who deeply understands the systemic problems within the technology industry even more so.

Things you may like to seek help with could include:

Having worked across many roles and built high perfoming teams for the tech industry for 25 years and as a therapist for 3 years, Thayer‘s unique crossover means she understands some of specific challenges and pain points we have as humans working in the technology industry.

“Thayer has been working with me and providing career therapy during the course of 2024. I have to say that she is the most friendly of people in a matey kind of way, not as someone speaking from on high or looking down on an afflicted victim. She is very friendly, massively insightful and isn’t afraid to tell me how it is, but always in the nicest possible way. Thayer has given me a springboard to think more positively, and deal much better with my work anxieties. She has also helped me to process more effectively my ongoing worries about my career, the frustrations and viable alternatives around what I do for a living and what it all means to me. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anybody who is looking for expert help around dealing with and progressing in their work or career and what might underlie these fears and worries.” – Andrew, 2024
