When the human dynamics
become risky
Chotayah is an organisational psychology and conflict consultancy. We work with leadership teams in high-pressure industries on the interpersonal patterns that drive attrition, derailment, and operational failure.
We also maintain a private psychotherapy practice for professionals, couples, and families navigating complex emotional and relational difficulties.
Where standard approaches fall short
Most organisations address leadership dysfunction through executive coaching, HR processes, or Employee Assistance Programmes. These work for straightforward situations.
They do not work when the same patterns keep repeating regardless of the intervention. When the issue involves personality dynamics that surface-level coaching cannot reach. When a brilliant leader is simultaneously the highest performer and the greatest risk. When conflict has escalated beyond what standard mediation can contain.
Chotayah exists for these situations. We bring clinical-depth assessment and intervention to organisational and relational problems that have resisted conventional approaches.

Our Approach: ARDM
Our methodology — Adaptive Relational Depth and Mentalization (ARDM) — draws on psychodynamic formulation, relational systems theory, and applied mentalization. It was developed from direct experience in both engineering failure analysis and clinical psychotherapy.
In practice, ARDM maps the recurring relational patterns within a team or around a specific individual, identifies the underlying dynamics driving those patterns, and structures an intervention that addresses root causes rather than symptoms.
The approach has been applied across corporate leadership teams, family enterprises, and community conflict settings.
Dealing with a situation that feels intractable?
If you are navigating a leadership, team, or relational dynamic that has resisted conventional approaches, we are happy to have an initial conversation. No sales process. Just a frank assessment of whether what we do is relevant to what you are facing.
