30+ Years Experience
Discretion Assured.
Based in Australia
World

I advise individuals and organisations dealing with sensitive issues involving people, trust and behavioural risk.

I have spent more than 30 years working at the intersection of counterespionage, behavioural intelligence and executive threat assessment. Drawing on operational, technical and behavioural experience developed across a long career in security and investigative work, I advise boards, senior executives and government stakeholders on the human dimensions of security risk: matters involving trust, insider threat and organisational vulnerability that rarely surface through conventional means. My clients operate in environments where sound judgement and absolute discretion are prerequisites.

Advisory focus

Counterespionage Advisory

From technical surveillance exposure to the human factors that create vulnerability, I help clients identify and mitigate counterespionage risk with the experience and discretion it requires.

Executive Threat Assessment

Senior leaders attract risk that is rarely straightforward. I provide confidential assessments that examine the behavioural, cultural and technical vulnerabilities surrounding executives and decision-makers, delivering clear intelligence that supports protective decision-making.

Behavioural Intelligence

Human behaviour carries information long before risk becomes visible. I apply behavioural science, credibility analysis and forensic linguistics to identify early indicators of deception, manipulation and misaligned intent. Giving senior leaders the clarity they need to act with confidence.

About me
Julian
Claxton
With more than 30 years of experience across behavioural analysis, credibility assessment and technical surveillance threat detection, I help clients navigate uncertainty with clarity and discretion. Many of those I work with remain clients for years, trusting me to handle difficult matters with integrity, independence and a deep understanding of human behaviour.
My academic qualifications include a Master of Science in Communication, Behaviour and Credibility Analysis, supported by postgraduate studies in investigative interviewing, behavioural profiling and forensic linguistics. This foundation allows me to identify early indicators of manipulation, deception or insider risk, often before they become visible to others.
Alongside my advisory work, I mentor senior professionals and regularly contribute to industry forums as a keynote speaker. I have presented at conferences across Australia, the United Kingdom and North America on topics including technical surveillance countermeasures, deception detection, behavioural risk and the subtle science of influence and trust.
Those who engage me are often looking for someone who can quietly bring structure to complexity, someone who can read between the lines, ask the right questions and offer practical insight when it matters most.
