# Thornton Consulting
Thornton Consulting is an organisational coaching and consultancy firm based in Winchester, specialising in developing leaders, teams and coaches. Founded in 1990, the business has built an exceptional track record: over 95% of their work comes from ongoing or returning clients, demonstrating both effectiveness and long-term value.
The firm works with business leaders and their executive teams to navigate complex management challenges through psychological insight and creative problem-solving. They help organisations embed learning as a continuous business process rather than treating development as a one-off intervention. They also provide supervision and professional development for experienced coaches seeking to deepen their practice.
Thornton Consulting deliberately targets clients who share their values: those seeking sustainable solutions over quick fixes, willing to sit with uncertainty to reach genuine breakthrough, and committed to high ethical standards. They work exclusively with successful professionals and organisations wanting to elevate their performance further.
What sets them apart is their research-led approach, grounded in group analytic theory. Christine Thornton, founder, is an author and expert in group dynamics, having published the best-selling _Group and Team Coaching_ (now in its third edition with new content on online working). This intellectual foundation informs all their consulting work, ensuring clients gain deep psychological and contextual analysis rather than surface-level solutions.
Their longevity, client retention rates and published expertise position them as serious practitioners for organisations serious about transformation.
