Specialist Consultancy Advice

Coercive control in workplace settings rarely presents as a single incident. It operates through patterns — of oversight, narrative, accountability, and power — that are individually defensible and collectively harmful. Identifying and responding to those patterns requires more than HR policy knowledge or general management training. It requires applied psychological expertise.

What this service offers

Dee provides specialist advisory consultation to legal professionals, HR leaders, workplace investigators, and governance bodies navigating organisational conduct matters involving coercive or psychologically harmful behaviour.

​

Advisory engagements are designed to inform your process; not to replace it. This may include:

​

  • Expert consultation on coercive-control dynamics for workplace investigations or legal proceedings

  • Conceptual and framework review to assist case preparation, evidence interpretation, or conduct analysis

  • Advisory input to HR or governance teams developing policy or procedural responses to identified risk

  • Review of existing mechanisms against contemporary psychological safety and psychosocial risk standards

What this isn't

This is a specialist advisory service, not a clinical, therapeutic, or coaching engagement. It does not involve psychological assessment of individuals, formal risk-assessment delivery, or ongoing organisational consulting. Engagements are scoped, time-limited, and purpose-specific.

Who typically engages this service

DV sector managers and team leaders. Employment and industrial relations teams. HR directors and people & culture leaders. Workplace relations consultants. Workplace investigators. Board governance and compliance committees. Any professional seeking expert guidance on identifying coercive behaviour patterns occurring within a workplace or team.
