Our Approach to Coaching

Our coaching uses three complimentary styles in combination:

  • Person-centered coaching: inner beliefs and values that might hold a person back or inspire them forward.
  • Cognitive-behavioural coaching: habitual patterns of thinking and behaviour, helpful and unhelpful.
  • Goal-centered coaching: clear personal and professional goals and accountability on taking action.

Where the coach has specific professional or personal experience that may help accelerate the client in their progress, there may also be an element of mentoring.

The emphasis may change from session to session, and indeed within each session, depending on the flow of the dialogue, always supporting the client in timely progress towards their personal and professional goals.

Coaching can be both exciting and inspirational, and challenging and uncomfortable. A strong foundation of trust and personal rapport is essential.

It also demands openness and honesty from the client, only possible where their coach overtly holds them in unconditional positive regard.

Personal and professional change take time. Some sessions may seem slow and heavy going. Others may see tremendous breakthroughs. Others may be thoughtful and reflective. Each plays its part. Systemic change comes with commitment and persistence over time, even (especially) when progress seems slow.
