Psychology of Coaching

Overview

This series of workshops and the certificate programme look at the psychological underpinnings to coaching through an exploration of relevant psychological models with a view to enabling experienced coaches to enhance and deepen their own practice.

The emphasis is on translating psychological principles into practical coaching applications. Such frameworks offer models, techniques and tools which enable the coach to make sense of the personal challenges faced by many clients, while also providing the conceptual base for developing and applying psychological literacy.

You can take any of the psychology workshops as ‘stand alone’, including the superb Introduction to the Psychology of Coaching. You may then , if you choose, go on to complete the additional requirements to be awarded the Certificate in The Psychology of Coaching.
