Sometimes, it’s just really helpful to talk to someone who can actively listen. Sometimes, you don’t want to burden those closest to you with issues; perhaps they even involve those people. Having someone outside of a situation listen and sit with you whilst you work it through can be really helpful.

Having worked in and hired for the tech industry for 25 years, Thayer understands some of specific challenges and pain points we have as humans working in the technology industry.

Team Prime offers talk therapy, based around work and personal based issues. Having helped people through many life changing paths and decisions through her work in job changes, Thayer trained as a counsellor and is also about to finish her degree in Psychology (BSc Hons) with the Open University. Thayer’s plan is become a qualified sex therapist later down the line, and in the mean time has found the training undertaken towards that has helped many people in technology unpick some of the blockers they’re finding in regards to issues such as:

  • Career change
  • Frustrated with issues in the current workplace
  • Burnout
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • What next conversations
  • Mid life crisis/evolution
  • Tech disillusionment
  • Managing family life and work life balance
  • Personal relationships and work
  • .. as well as personal issues that may be influencing factors in all of these
