Where psychology meets
the edges of human
experience.
Dr. Lauretta Greer works at the intersection of psychological depth and practical change — helping individuals, organisations, and practitioners navigate what matters most.
Who I Am
A psychologist who works at the boundary of what is knowable.
Dr. Lauretta Greer is a chartered psychologist and researcher whose work has always occupied the space where formal categories begin to strain. With more than twenty years of practice grounded in models rooted in psychology and coaching, she has developed an approach that is intellectually rigorous and deeply humane.
She is the author of Coaching in the Grey Space — a landmark text on the territory between coaching and therapy — and is invited internationally to speak, teach, and facilitate. She is based in the UK and periodically facilitates psychedelic-assisted retreats in the Netherlands, in partnership with Inward Bound NL.
Her approach is rigorous without being rigid, and warm without being sentimental.
The Book
Coaching in the Grey Space
There is a space that conventional coaching cannot reach and traditional therapy does not always address — where stress becomes something more, where performance meets suffering, where the language of goals proves inadequate to what a person is actually carrying.
This is the grey space.
Dr. Greer's landmark text maps this terrain with rigour and compassion. It is essential reading for practitioners who work closely with people navigating genuine complexity.

What to expect
What Clients Say
“Working with Dr. Greer changed how I understand what had been holding me back professionally. It wasn't a coaching conversation — it was something more honest and considerably more useful.”
Surveyor, 2025
“I came expecting to talk about stress and came away with an entirely different understanding of myself. The kind of work she does is hard to categorise, which I think is the point.”
Personal Trainer, 2025
“Dr. Greer's book gave me language for something I'd been experiencing for years. Meeting with her amplified that tenfold. I'd recommend her without hesitation to anyone navigating something genuinely difficult.”
