Our psychotherapeutic coaching consists of 12 sessions with a specific intention in mind. It’s ideal for working through a specific professional issue within a certain timeframe.
Psychotherapeutic coaching recognises the complexity of people, organisations and situations. It takes a deeper dive into your process, exploring your own mental and emotional influences, while considering how you relate to and engage with other people in your life at work and at home.
Our particular form of psychotherapeutic coaching leans on the ideas of mutualism- that our interactions are dependent on each other and that we mutually influence one another in our relationships and interactions.
We can bring our own process into awareness by reflecting on recurring patterns and habits in our personal and professional relationships that may be contradicting our values or limiting our aspirations.
Through this exploration we can begin to understand how we view and experience ourselves and other people in our lives: identifying core beliefs which no longer serve us.
These beliefs are usually formed early in our lives and are often outdated, and no longer useful in the context of our current situation.
Seeing these early conclusions with clarity and the ways in which they dictate our behaviour, working lives and relationships, we can begin to be more conscious of the ways we may be contributing to difficult dynamics, and similarly, what is not ours to own.
Having this knowledge is power; it can help us strengthen our ability to say no when we need to; to hold boundaries with respect and without aggression; become aware of how we do, or don’t look after ourselves; and how we do or don’t make our needs transparent to others.
Psychotherapeutic coaching gives us a deep understanding of ourselves, allowing for greater resilience when faced with challenging people or circumstances.
This mode of therapeutic work may be particularly useful when faced with professional and relationship issues at work.
These issues may include: asking for a pay rise at work, coping with triggers in relationships, ending cyclical arguments, learning how to deal with bullies or bullying behaviour, improving your work / life balance, managing burnout, knowing you're in the wrong vocation, considering retirement.
Life or executive coaches are more goal oriented, and usually aren't qualified counsellors or psychotherapists. They tend to focus on the present moment and moving forward, rather than looking at past reasons for current tendencies.
Psychotherapeutic coaching still focuses on a particular intention, but aims to tackle the issue at its root, exploring the patterns and emotional process which may be limiting you.
Life and executive coaching can offer encouragement and support in taking action, but often taking such action may still feel challenging and carry an emotional charge. For some, this may result in residual feelings (from past conditioning) of shame or failure.
Psychotherapeutic coaching aims to neutralise the emotional charge that these challenges present. By offering yourself and your emotional responses compassion, you create more space for real growth and change.
Employee assistance programmes (EAPs) offer workers support in areas that may be affecting their emotional health and professional life.
