We're Dymtex, a team dedicated to transforming workplace dynamics through practical psychology applications. Since 2019, we've been working with UK businesses to create environments where people actually want to work.
Back in 2019, I was working as an occupational psychologist for a large consultancy. Every day, I'd see the same problems: brilliant people burning out, teams that couldn't communicate, managers who meant well but had no idea how to actually support their staff.
The breaking point came during a project with a tech startup. Their turnover was through the roof, but instead of looking at the real issues—overwhelming workloads, unclear expectations, zero psychological safety—they wanted a quick team-building exercise to fix everything.
That's when I knew something had to change. Real workplace psychology isn't about motivational posters or trust falls. It's about understanding how people actually function in work environments and building systems that support them.
So we started Dymtex. Not to sell miracle cures, but to bring genuine psychological insight to workplace challenges. We focus on the fundamentals: how stress affects performance, why some teams click while others struggle, and what makes a workplace genuinely supportive rather than just appearing that way.
Our founder brings fifteen years of occupational psychology experience to every client relationship.
Work Psychology Specialist
Helena started her career in clinical psychology before shifting to occupational settings, where she discovered her passion for workplace mental health. She holds a PhD in Occupational Psychology from the University of Nottingham and is chartered with the British Psychological Society.
What sets Helena apart is her ability to translate complex psychological concepts into practical workplace solutions. She's worked with everyone from small startups to NHS trusts, always focusing on sustainable change rather than quick fixes.
When she's not working with clients, Helena lectures part-time at Derby University and contributes to research on workplace stress and team dynamics. She's particularly interested in how remote work has changed the psychological landscape of modern employment.
"I've seen too many well-intentioned workplace initiatives fail because they ignore basic psychological principles. People aren't problems to be solved—they're complex individuals who need the right conditions to thrive."
Every workplace has the potential to be a place where people feel valued, challenged, and supported. But that doesn't happen by accident. It requires understanding the psychological foundations of good work.
We believe in the power of small, evidence-based changes to create significant improvements in workplace culture. Whether it's helping a manager understand how their communication style affects team stress levels, or working with leadership to redesign processes that inadvertently create burnout.
Our goal isn't to revolutionize your workplace overnight. It's to provide the insights and tools that help you build a psychologically healthier environment, one practical change at a time.
