Dorothee is an experienced OD Consultant, Executive and Team Coach and Coach Supervisor with many years of experience in supporting individuals, teams and organisations through major change.
Originally trained as a systemic psychotherapist, she has always taken a keen interest in how organisations function as systems and her interventions focus on the relational aspects of human interaction and change. Her work has spanned across one-to-one executive coaching work to working with teams and groups and to large organisational change programmes. She brings her systemic thinking and natural curiosity into all of her practice. She observes and works with the patterns that individuals and teams create with each other and explores narratives that exist about current organisational challenges and problems.

She teaches on the Ashridge Master in Executive Coaching and is the Programme Director for the Team Coaching Programme. She is co-editor and key contributor to the book ‘Relational Team Coaching’, which was published by Routledge in 2023. Dorothee has a growing supervision practice and supervises both individual and team coaches in group and 1-2-1 settings.
