Bringing people and systems in alignment with purpose and vision.
ALIRA CONSULTANCY
In today’s complex and rapidly evolving work landscape, mental health and organisational sustainability are no longer peripheral concerns—they are strategic imperatives.
Across sectors, organisations face persistent challenges: burnout, presenteeism, disengagement, low motivation, cultural fragmentation, leadership fatigue, reduced innovation, and direct financial loss. The human, cultural, and economic costs—though often underestimated—undermine leadership effectiveness, impair performance, and compromise long-term resilience and organisational integrity.
Alira Consultancy delivers a targeted and transformational response.
We are a pioneering consultancy committed to reshaping how leadership is practised and how organisations evolve. We partner with clients to build systems and cultures that are sustainable, equitable, and both effective and resilient.

We co-design evidence-based solutions that bring people and systems into alignment with vision and purpose—enhancing both wellbeing and performance at every level of the organisation.
We align systems.
We empower leadership.

The Case for Change: Wellbeing, Strategy & the Cost of Inaction
Mounting global evidence shows that unaddressed workforce stress, disengagement, and poor mental health carry significant financial, cultural, and strategic costs. Forward-thinking organisations are reframing wellbeing—not as a benefit—but as a core driver of performance, sustainability, and leadership resilience.
£56 billion — The annual cost of poor mental health to UK employers (Deloitte, 2022)
$7.8 trillion — Global loss due to disengaged workforces (Gallup, 2022)
76% of employees report moderate to high levels of stress at work (Mind Share Partners, 2021)
$2.5 trillion — Estimated global cost of untreated mental illness in lower-income regions by 2030
(WHO, 2020)
For every $1 invested in mental health, there is a $4 return in productivity and health gains
(WHO & World Bank, 2016)
Align.
Thrive.
Transform.
“In a high-pressure environment like ours, pace, wellbeing, and performance often pull in opposite directions at the cost of long-term sustainability. Alira helped us identify where leadership pressure and cultural misalignment were quietly eroding performance. Their diagnostics, reflective practice sessions, and targeted leadership interventions were precise, relevant, and practical. We’ve already seen clearer decision-making at senior levels and stronger cross-team collaboration and we’re looking forward to embedding the full Alira model. This wasn’t soft support; it was a strategic reset.”

Frequently asked questions
-
Alira works at the intersection of neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, and organisational strategy to enable systems change. We identify underlying cultural, psychological, and structural patterns that hinder performance, wellbeing, and equity at every level. Through bespoke diagnostics, leadership labs, reflective frameworks, and cross-sector learning interventions, we equip and support the internal capacity required for adaptive, enduring change — change that is intentional, and that fosters resilience and innovation across the whole system.
-
Yes. Alira’s model is intentionally modular and adaptable. We recognise that every organisation is at a different stage in its journey. You can begin with one or more components — such as leadership development, reflective spaces, or our bespoke training programmes to address immediate priorities and scale up as needed. Each element maintains integrity as a standalone offer, and our modular approach provides flexibility while addressing immediate priorities and enabling long-term, system-wide transformation.
-
Investing in psychological wellbeing isn't just ethical — it's strategic. Evidence shows that access to psychological support report improves focus, emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility and team cohesion- all of which are linked to productivity, innovation and effective collaboration. This translates into measurable organisational outcomes: reduced absenteeism, lower burnout, increased retention and stronger interpersonal dynamics and higher job satisfaction. Alira integrates therapeutic support into a wider organisational strategy, aligning individual wellbeing with collective performance and sustainable growth.
-
We understand that individual experiences are shaped by wider organisational dynamics. Our approach addresses not only people, but the structures, cultures, and relationships that surround them. By working at multiple levels we enable change that is embedded, far-reaching, and sustainable.
-
