Other Trained Approaches Used In Coaching

Cognitive therapies, particularly those under the umbrella of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), help us in coaching to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. 

CBT is  a practical and goal-oriented, helping us to develop coping skills and strategies to manage issues like anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT approaches can also incorporate mindfulness, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), which deepen the focus on acceptance and present-moment awareness. 

By applying practical techniques in coaching we can gain tools to better regulate our emotions, break negative cycles, and achieve lasting change. 

These tools are built on effectiveness and structured approaches that are measured over time, being evidence based. 

We use a diverse range of mindfulness techniques in our practice together, paying focused attention to the present moment with openness, curiosity, and without judgment. 

This helps us become more aware of  our thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. Together in coaching we foster a sense of calm and clarity. Through mindfulness we can learn to observe our experiences,  without trying to change or control them.  This has been scientifically proven to reduce stress in our brain regions. Different studies have shown to even reverse the perils of cognitive aging. Specifically, meditation and yoga increases memory and the ability to teach ourselves new patterns. They can also decrease our flight/ flight reactions when they are overworked in our stress response. 

Different techniques, such as meditation, yoga, and specific exercises for sleep enhance our awareness and help us develop a deeper understanding of ourselves.  

By cultivating mindfulness and meditation, we can better manage our  emotions and approach daily life with a greater sense of calm, focus, and balance.

Counselling techniques in coaching is to  help us explore your  thoughts and emotions more deeply. It strengthens and builds self-awareness, while addressing  your deeper story. It's like a tool we adopt to our coaching journey to facilitate meaningful and personal growth. 

These techniques help us to enhance trust and rapport. Overall ,making our coaching process more effective when dealing with complex  emotional experiences. 

Integrating counselling methods allows me to support you holistically, fostering lasting change. 

I use these approaches to offer a safe and confidential space where you can explore your concerns, gain some insight, and develop coping strategies.
