About us

Helping you achieve culture change for self-sustaining success

Our team

Senseia consists of a team of expert professionals who bring a new perspective to the problem of how to transform a workplace, through culture change. We have seen first-hand, both the positive and negative but always the very significant impact of social and structural power on the cultural health of a workplace. We’ve supported dozens of organisations, helping them to understand the human dynamics of a culture that can either boost or break its people. Our work is to co-create a psychological road map for your transition from the status quo to a more psychologically safe, healthy and productive work environment.

Jason has expertise in the role of social power within organisations and uses social network analysis and storytelling techniques to drive employee engagement, group cohesion and organisational change.

Jason also conducts research at the London School of Economics into the role of power, organisational psychology and organisational performance. After 15+ years of experience working within the media and communications sector, across the UK, US and Australia, Jason founded Senseia to link power and story, (and the power of story), into the foundational underpinnings of all organisational behaviour. Jason believes that to embark on culture change, without seeing the world through these prisms of our core humanity, means driving your organisation into the future, wearing a blindfold.

Joanna Traynor

Joanna is a coach and psychotherapist with a background in the media, academia, technology and corporate professional services. Joanna’s psychological and phenomenological insights into culture deliver profound truths about change. She also has the power to decode and remove the darker psychological forces that drive discrimination, bullying and harassment. Using and adapting tools from the school of Psychodynamic Psychotherapy to help shape foundational culture dynamics, Joanna reveals and releases the tensions that bind up so much energy in organisational life. As a published author and seasoned media producer, Joanna has helped organisations to craft new narratives that are authentic, value-led and purposeful. Joanna believes that the foundation of all cultural change is the need to retain faith in the human capacity for growth and the need for achievement. Using social power, structural power and narratives that resonate, transitions to new and better worlds are not just achievable, but inevitable.
