Helping teams
thrive
No matter what kind of team you're part of, WildKin can support both you and your team members. Whether you work in a school or university, are part of a pastoral team, run a business, compete in professional sports, or work for a charity, WildKin offers the guidance and support you need.
Systemic Consultation and Supervision for Sports, Schools & Organisations
People do not work, learn, compete, or lead in isolation.
Teams, schools, clubs, and organisations are living systems shaped by relationships, culture, communication, leadership, and shared values.
Systemic consultation provides a space to reflect on how these systems are functioning and how they can better support the wellbeing and performance of the people within them.
I work with sports organisations, schools, universities, charities, businesses, and leadership teams to create environments where people can flourish.
Alongside supporting systems as a whole, I can also offer individual therapeutic support for members of staff, leaders, athletes, and professionals.

A WildKin Approach
A healthy ecosystem depends upon connection, diversity, adaptability, and care.
Whether supporting a school staff team, a sports club, or a business navigating change, my aim is to help people build environments where they feel safe, valued, and able to thrive. This can be done by meeting your team where you are, or bringing your team into differnt environments to become aware of differnce and what supportive change might be needed in order to grow and flourish. We can focus on key values, mission and develop safe and effective working cultures that honour diversity, equity and inclusion.
Everybody deserves to be cared for
We embrace the uniqueness of every individual in your team. We provide a safe space for everyone, no matter their experiences, heritage, or learning style – to create helpful change.
Therapy for sports teams and professionals in the spotlight
WildKin founder Dom Smith is passionate about helping teams create a culture that prioritises the psychological wellbeing of their players. While sports psychology focuses on performance, systemic psychotherapy takes a broader approach – supporting relationships between players, their families, teams and the wider world, including fans and the media.
This approach helps players and their families navigate challenges such as family breakdown, addiction, injury, bereavement or media pressure. Dom is committed to ensuring they have the right support to thrive.

How it works
-
1. Book a consultation
Schedule a free 15-minute call with Dom to discuss what’s bringing you to therapy. This is a chance to learn how systemic psychotherapy works and explore whether it feels right for you. We’ll also go over availability and next steps.
-
2. First therapy session
We’ll create a safe, supportive space and begin exploring what’s important to you. This session may focus on your hopes for therapy and mapping out key relationships or challenges. By the end, we’ll have a clearer direction and a plan for moving forward.

3. Therapy evolves
Therapy works best when sessions evolve with your needs. Through open, honest conversations, we’ll regularly check in to ensure we’re focusing on what’s most helpful. Compassionate curiosity is at the heart of every session.
