Welcome to ADAPT
The ADAPT programme, forged in the crucible of war in Ukraine, combines psychological empowerment and practical business support to ensure organisations continue to succeed when under sustained pressure.
We now offer this unique, company-wide approach to help any organisation facing a major crisis.
Welcome to ADAPT
Hello, my name is Anna Eraut, and my company has been working in Ukraine supporting the staff and leadership teams of major international companies since the outbreak of the current war in February 2022.
ADAPT: Embedded psychological support for organisations under pressure
I am Anna Eraut, a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist and organisational consultant. I work with leaders and teams whose people are highly capable and committed but are operating in demanding conditions that can lead to burnout.
For over four years, during the war in Ukraine, I built and ran an embedded psychological support system for the Kyiv office of an international law firm.
That work forged an approach I now bring to organisations facing other kinds of sustained pressure such as restructuring, economic crisis, leadership strain, chronic uncertainty, or the cumulative weight of demanding professional environments.
A major crisis can have a significant impact on people's mental health and well-being, while also affecting how teams work together and how the organisation functions as a whole.
Our clients' teams must manage daily uncertainties while maintaining business operations. Their senior managers – while managing their own response to the crisis – are tasked with nurturing staff, keeping them motivated and productive.
What is distinctive
Most psychological support for organisations sits in one of two places:
- The clinical space – individual psychological support, with limited attention to the wider organisational system.
- The wellbeing space – standalone wellbeing activities with little connection to everyday organisational realities.
My work covers both of these and the systemic ground between and around them. The focus is not only on individual experience but on the pressures and dynamics moving through the organisation itself.
Who we work with
- International firms with staff in crisis-affected regions
- Leadership teams holding strain that is not yet visible in the numbers
- Senior decision-makers carrying responsibility for others while quietly running low themselves
- Professional service environments where competence is the currency and emotional cost stays private
- Teams scattered across locations, working largely online, sometimes without having met in-person for months
I found myself working with human rights lawyers documenting war crimes, witnessing first-hand how psychological empowerment could build resilience even in the most challenging circumstances.
