Hetty Einzig

Catch Hetty Einzig on Do Radio: Where To Next? with Mike Warwick 11th - 17th May 2026.

Hetty Einzig is a pioneering coach, transpersonal psychotherapist, and author who brings together psychology, social activism, and a reimagining of leadership. Over more than two decades, she has coached leaders across the corporate, public and third sectors, in the UK and globally, always asking a bigger question than simply performance: what does it mean to become fully, wisely, and responsibly human?

Shaped by a childhood home where philosophy, art, and wide-ranging conversation were the daily bread, she studied French and Italian before a Masters in the history of art at the Courtauld drew her toward the social and political forces that animate culture. She then completed a three-year accredited psychotherapy training at The Psychosynthesis & Education Trust, where transpersonal psychology became her deepest foundation. As founding director of The Parenting Forum, she worked with local and national governments to shift attitudes to parenting, from individual heroics to collective responsibility, developing support programmes to equip parents to choose conscious approaches to bringing up children. A subsequent Masters from the Tavistock Centre in psychoanalytic and systemic approaches to organisations gave her the theoretical scaffolding for what she already knew intuitively: that we are deeply interdependent creatures, nested within expanding circles of family, society, and the natural world.

Her later involvement with The Pachamama Alliance deepened her understanding of interdependence and the importance of an ecosystemic approach to leadership and change.

Her book, The Future of Coaching: Vision, Leadership and Responsibility in a Transforming World, challenges the profession to move beyond neutrality and corporate KPIs, reclaiming coaching as a space for meaningful conversation and contribution.

She co-founded the Athena intensive and the Anima monthly groups alongside Liz Rivers, offering women leaders a slower, season-attuned space in which to reimagine leading, care and purpose. She also leads Spirit at Work, a Transpersonal Leadership Coaching programme accredited by the Association for Coaching.

Informed by indigenous wisdom, the neuroscience of empathy, and her mother's story as a Kindertransport refugee who met the world without bitterness, she invites leaders to step out of reaction and into reflection to find, as she puts it, simplicity within complexity, and right action within competing options.
