Alan Gyle
Coach
Alan is an experienced coach, organisational consultant and facilitator who brings a psychoanalytic framework of understanding to organisational development, group process and obstacles to effective team functioning. He loves working with teams.
His passion is working in the moment with the experience of individuals and teams to help them to identify their real issues, their development needs and to address their ‘health’ and effectiveness – especially in situations in which the obstacles to better performance are rooted in conflict or ingrained patterns of behaviour flowing from the unconscious mind of groups.
A graduate of the Tavistock Clinic/University of East London in Psychoanalytic Approaches to Organisational Behaviour, Alan marries a strong theoretical understanding of groups with a lively and engaging facilitative style. His style of coaching has been developed by the 3D team with whom he now works as a team member. He has worked as an internal consultant and facilitator in the Church of England, and as an external consultant and facilitator in a number of UK and European blue chip companies.
He is trained in coaching skills by 3D and receives regular supervision.

I recently had the opportunity to participate in a team building session facilitated by Alan and I was very impressed by his professionalism and expertise. He pulled together a broad variety of viewpoints and quickly focused us in on a common set of clear goals and objectives.
Thank you so much for the interview coaching session I had with you last Wednesday. It was very helpful and productive. It gave me a focus and confidence that I found extremely useful, took with me into the interview and which obviously bore fruit! It was a great pleasure to meet you and to have the benefit of working with you…
