Description
Book Synopsis
- How does coaching differ from my current work as a therapist?
- If I became a coach, what additional skills and expertise might I need?
- What sorts of markets might I work in and what sort of income could I expect?
- What are the implications if I decided to run a mixed practice of coaching and therapy/counselling?
This book is written for qualified and experienced psychological therapists who are interested in what coaching may have to offer their clients or their practice. It considers what coaching is, the routes by which people have become coaches, the coaching client, coaching methods and the issues within running a mixed practice. This includes a thorough exploration of the points of difference between therapeutic and coaching models, including the nature of interventions, mind set of the coach and the structuring of the process. Aspects of therapeutic models which are inappropriate for coaching are highlighted as well as the elements which add a richness to it. <
