Coaching can truly be a transformational experience!

You may be wondering, what is coaching & coaching psychology? 

​

Coaching

​

According to The International Coach Federation (ICF) coaching means “Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

​

Coaching is an ongoing relationship, which focuses on clients taking action toward the realization of their visions, goals, or desires. Coaching uses a process of inquiry and personal discovery to build the client’s level of awareness and responsibility and provides the client with structure, support, and feedback. The coaching process helps clients both define and achieve professional and personal goals faster and with more ease than would be possible otherwise. (International Coach Federation, from their website, www.coachfederation.org)

​

Coaching is not about fixing - it is about creating (Williams & Davis, 2007)

​

Coaching Psychology

​

The International Society of Coaching Society (ISCP) describes coaching psychology as "a process for enhancing well-being and performance in personal life and work domains underpinned by models of coaching grounded in established adult and child learning or psychological theories and approaches."

​

Coaching psychology is for enhancing well-being and performance in personal life and work domains, underpinned by models of coaching grounded in established adult learning or psychological approaches (British Psychological Society, Special Group for Coaching Psychology).

​

Coaching psychology is the scientific study of behaviour, cognitive and emotion within coaching practice to deepen our understanding and enhance our practice within coaching (Passmore, 2010, p. 4).

1. Life Coaching

​

Life coaching is a powerful human relationship in which trained coaches help people design their future rather than get over their past. Through a typically long-term relationship, coaches aid clients in creating visions and goals for all aspects of their lives and multiple strategies to support the achievement of those goals. Coaches recognize their clients’ brilliance and their personal power to discover their own solutions when provided with support, accountability, and unconditional positive regard (Williams & Davis, 2007). 

​

Life coaches view clients as whole and capable people and focus not on pathology, but on wellness (Williams & Davis, 2007).
