FD Consultants Ltd: A Global Psychological Health Consultancy

What FD Consultants Ltd: A Global Psychological Health Consultancy does

FD Consultants Ltd is a UK-domiciled, founder-led psychological health consultancy operating globally through a network of 100+ specialist associates speaking 30+ languages. The firm specialises in trauma and crisis support for organisations whose staff are routinely exposed to distressing material or experiences, including humanitarian NGOs, emergency first responders, content moderators and analysts, journalists, and healthcare workers. Its core service portfolio combines direct clinical interventions (individual and group trauma counselling using WHO/APA/NICE-recommended EMDR and TF-CBT protocols) with organisational consultancy including wellbeing workshops, management and leadership training, Psychological First Aid (PFA) peer support programme setup, absence management training, and yearly psychological screenings for high-risk roles. A proprietary RESPECT Resilience Model (Dunkley, 2018) underpins its training methodology, and the founder is a Routledge-published author in psychosocial support for humanitarian aid workers.

The business model is B2B professional services with quote-based pricing for enterprise engagements, complemented by a small self-serve e-learning product (Revive Your Mind at £99). The firm is privately held, bootstrapped, and founder-owned with no disclosed external funding; it operates as a low-fixed-cost consultancy leveraging a distributed specialist associate model rather than a large in-house headcount (11 core employees per the firmographic profile). Distribution is primarily direct enterprise field sales, supported by thought-leadership content marketing (website, blog, LinkedIn, YouTube, newsletter) and word-of-mouth referrals within the humanitarian and crisis support sectors.

Notable strategic activity includes a multi-year VSO partnership delivering a PFA peer support programme in Myanmar post-2021 coup, content-moderator vertical expansion in 2023, e-learning productisation (2022), and crisis-response deployments across Ukraine, Romania, Poland, Ethiopia, and Sierra Leone. Named clients include VSO, Samaritans, Amnesty International, Save the Children, Malaria No More, British Council, LSE, and Tech Against Terrorism.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Spring Health: Enterprise mental health benefits vendor combining precision matching with therapy and coaching. Comparable to FD Consultants as an outsourced partner organisations engage to fulfil employee wellbeing duties, with Spring Health competing more on data-driven routing and FD Consultants on specialist trauma credentials.
• Lyra Health: B2B mental health benefits platform delivering therapy, coaching, and crisis support to enterprise employees. Comparable to FD Consultants because both sell outsourced mental-health infrastructure to employers seeking to meet duty-of-care obligations, though Lyra is technology-led and US-centric while FD Consultants is clinician-led and globally distributed.
• Modern Health: Global mental health platform providing therapy, coaching, and wellbeing programmes to enterprise customers. Competes with FD Consultants in the employer-funded mental-health category, particularly for multinationals seeking trauma-aware care, though Modern Health emphasises a self-serve digital model versus FD Consultants' bespoke clinical delivery.
• OpenUp: European B2B mental health provider delivering therapy, coaching, and workshops to employers across multiple countries. Comparable to FD Consultants in selling multilingual, multinational psychological support to organisations with geographically distributed staff, with overlap strongest in manager training and resilience workshops.
• Spill: UK-based workplace mental health platform offering therapy, manager training, and incident response to SMEs and mid-market employers. Closest geographic and segment analogue to FD Consultants in the UK, both supplying therapist-led support and manager training, though Spill focuses on tech-led SME distribution and FD on bespoke enterprise humanitarian accounts.

Broad incumbents

• Workplace Options: Global employee assistance programme (EAP) and wellbeing provider serving 80+ million employees across multinational clients. Competes with FD Consultants in the same RFP pools for organisation-wide counselling and critical incident support, but offers a much broader portfolio (legal, financial, everyday life assistance) at lower clinical specialisation in trauma.
• TELUS Health (LifeWorks): Large multinational wellbeing and EAP provider offering mental health, EFAP, and crisis support to enterprise clients globally. Overlaps with FD Consultants' trauma/crisis response and training offerings, particularly for multinational RFPs, though TELUS Health is a scaled incumbent and FD Consultants is a specialist boutique.
• Calm Business: Enterprise mental health subscription from Calm, providing meditation, sleep, and wellbeing content to employer populations. Comparable to FD Consultants in addressing workforce stress and resilience, but competing on a scalable self-serve content model rather than bespoke trauma-specialist delivery.
• CuraLinc Healthcare: Employee assistance programme and mental health provider serving US and international employers with counselling, crisis support, and training. Comparable to FD Consultants in delivering EAP-adjacent trauma and crisis services to organisations, with CuraLinc positioned as a broader portfolio incumbent versus FD's trauma-specialist boutique.
• Headspace for Business: Workplace mental health offering from Headspace providing meditation, coaching, and therapy subscriptions to enterprise customers. Adjacent competitor for employer wellbeing budgets and overlapping with FD Consultants on resilience/stress management, though built on a consumer content platform rather than specialist trauma credentials.
