About Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to strengthen the health, resilience, and sustainability of organizations and their people by integrating trauma-informed care, staff well-being, and strategic leadership into the heart of their operations. We partner with mission-driven teams, especially those working in high-stress, high-impact, and humanitarian settings, to design systems that reduce burnout, foster psychological safety, and build cultures where people can thrive.

We believe that when organizations invest in the well-being of their people, they don’t just survive—they evolve. Our work is built on a foundation of clinical insight, organizational development, and lived experience in complex and often unpredictable environments. We understand the unique challenges that come with supporting teams in crisis zones, conflict-affected regions, and resource-stretched systems.

As a trusted fractional partner, we provide flexible, strategic support tailored to your reality. We bring clarity to chaos, help transform intention into practice, and create space for leaders and staff to operate from a place of sustainability, not survival. Whether facilitating leadership retreats, designing resilience frameworks, or advising on well-being strategies, our approach centers care as a form of leadership and systems change.

Because in every setting—whether humanitarian, nonprofit, or socially responsible business—caring for people isn’t a soft skill. It’s a strategic advantage.

Our Guiding Principles

We believe that well-being is not a perk—it is a foundational element of sustainable performance. Our work is grounded in the following principles:

Trauma-Informed Care
We approach all systems and strategies through a lens that honors safety, choice, trust, collaboration, and empowerment.

Strategic Partnership
We work alongside leadership teams to embed care into organizational culture, not as an add-on, but as a strategic asset.

Contextual Relevance
We tailor every engagement to reflect the unique challenges, values, and environments of the teams we serve.

Sustainability & Impact
Our goal is not just to intervene but to build systems that outlast us—sustaining well-being far beyond our engagement.

How We Work

Our Founder

Stephen J. Thompson, MA, CCWS, CHRS, QMHP, EdD Candidate

Stephen J. Thompson, founder of Thompson Counseling & Consulting (TCC), is an organizational strategist and mental health professional committed to advancing well-being in high-stress and trauma-exposed environments. Originally from Nassau, Bahamas, Stephen brings over a decade of experience working at the intersection of individual mental health, organizational resilience, and trauma-informed care.

Stephen currently serves as the Director of Global Programs & Impact at Headington Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting humanitarian and high-risk professionals around the world. In this role, he provides psychological services, facilitates global trainings, and contributes to the design of mental health and resilience strategies for teams operating in complex, high-pressure environments.

Previously, Stephen held the role of Senior Advisor for Global Staff Care and Well-being at Catholic Relief Services (CRS), where he advised on organizational policies and programs that protected employee health, well-being, and resilience across the employee lifecycle. His work focused on embedding best practices into operational systems to ensure staff care during transitions, critical incidents, and periods of sustained stress.

As the founder of TCC, Stephen has evolved the firm’s focus to offer fractional consulting for mission-driven and socially conscious organizations. Through tailored strategy, program development, and training, he helps organizations reduce burnout, improve retention, and build trauma-informed, sustainable systems of care. While counseling services remain available on a limited basis, the firm’s primary emphasis is on organizational consulting, workforce resilience, and leadership development.

Stephen is a Certified Corporate Wellness Specialist (CCWS) and Certified Healthcare Reform Specialist (CHRS), with a Master of Arts in Clinical Forensic Psychology. He also meets education and training standards as a Qualified Mental Health Provider (QMHP). He is currently pursuing a Doctor of Education (EdD) in Organizational Leadership and Development, where his research centers on contextualizing leadership development to better support the well-being of humanitarian aid workers.

Stephen’s values-driven approach is grounded in empathy, innovation, and cultural responsiveness. He integrates evidence-based therapeutic models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy, and applies these principles to both individual and organizational change. A past board member of the Bahamas Sexual Health & Rights Association (BaSHRA), Stephen also champions youth development, DEI, and global mental health advocacy.
