Five Sessions

Session 1 – Positive Psychology
Focusing on strengths, accessing intrinsic motivation, building strategies of hope, cultivating positive emotions and other important coaching principles.

Session 2 – Constructive Challenge
We explore John Heron’s six categories of intervention and consider how and when to draw upon ‘informing’, ‘confronting’ or ‘prescribing’ styles of intervention.

Session 3 – Use of the Self as Instrument
We introduce a relational approach to using confrontative interventions, drawing on Pamela MacLean’s model of Self as Coach.

Session 4 – Contracting Revisited
We introduce a range of goal-setting models and explore the value of contracting at the start of the relationship, as well as managing endings.

Session 5 – Interpersonal Dynamics
We introduce the principles of Transactional Analysis for coaches, sharing a ‘theory of relating’ that will empower your practice.

Session 6 – Practicing Professionally
Finally, we consider how best to maintain a professional practice. We cover CPD, supervision, reflective practice, ethics, record keeping and more.
