Christie brings two decades of leadership and culture change experience to her work with executives and leadership teams. Her practice brings together developmental psychology, psychotherapy and performance science. Her aim is sustainable performance: helping leaders thrive personally while expanding their capacity to lead in high-stakes, complex and ambiguous environments.

​

She co-founded The Performance Clinic, now part of KPMG, where she pioneered executive team programs and coaching that incorporated biometric technology.

 

Christie offers a deeply relational coaching partnership that supports leaders to understand themselves more fully. This can involve attending to unresolved emotional wounds, questioning familiar identities and developing greater freedom in how they live and lead. She connects this personal work with the wider organisational context, helping leaders recognise how they contribute to the patterns they want to change.

 

Her trauma-informed approach helps her create the conditions for growth, offering the support and challenge leaders need to engage with this work and develop new ways of responding.

​

At Faro Partners, Christie coaches executives, leads leadership development and facilitates work with executive teams to strengthen their adaptive capacity.

​

Christie has held senior roles at Korn Ferry and Bendelta, been an associate of the Arctic University of Tromsø and volunteered with the global leadership program Homeward Bound. Alongside her organisational work, she maintains a private psychotherapy practice in the Blue Mountains, specialising in traumatic loss, relational trauma and mid-life burnout and depression.

​

Christie holds qualifications in economics, change management and psychotherapy. Her certifications include The Leadership Circle, Growth Edge Coaching, Case-In-Point, somatic coaching, systems constellations, mindfulness, nature therapy, yoga and psychedelic-assisted therapy.
