Biography

Dr. Laura Thomas is a Chartered Psychologist (UK), organisational and executive coach, and human performance specialist with over 15 years of international experience across clinical, organisational, and operational settings. Her work focuses on how people think, respond, and adapt in complex and high-stakes environments, and how individual, team, and system factors shape performance in practice.

Her applied experience spans military personnel, senior corporate leaders, space analog crews, and teams operating in remote and extreme environments. She currently leads human performance work at PARSEC Space and is Founder of Source Coherence, an independent consultancy focused on human performance, adaptation, and decision-making in high-stakes environments.

Alongside her applied work, Laura conducts research on human performance and adaptation in isolated, confined, and extreme environments. Her current interests include team and operational performance, salutogenesis, dark personality traits, digital phenotyping, and the development of objective, ecologically valid approaches to understanding human performance over time.
