Trauma-informed Coaching?

In January we welcome Caroline Strawson to the Lab. I've met Caroline when she did her Masters in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology and since she's graduated her coaching went from strength to strength. I'm particularly interested in her approach to working with trauma combining elements of coaching and therapy to help people overcome adversity and narcissistic abuse. Fascinating stuff and I can't wait to see her in action.

I’ve invited award-winning therapist and coach Caroline Strawson to be our guest in the coaching Lab so that we can observe a live coaching demonstration followed by a discussion with coach & client and an opportunity to practice & experiment in triads.

The recording of this session and the conversation that followed is available to members of the Coaching Lab: https://bit.ly/CoachingLabMembership

You’ll get to learn from interesting and experienced practitioners, connect with other coaches and generally have some fun and experiment in a safe and confidential environment.

About the Lab:

Join us for an inside-look into the inner workings of coaching, find out how and why coaches make certain decisions and how they choose their interventions. You get to witness how the client is experiencing different coaching approaches and we hope you’ll get lots of inspiration for your own coaching practice.

After the fishbowl and discussion you’ll get a chance to work in triads (coach, client, observer) with the other attendees so that you can take your insights and ideas for a spin, experiment with some new tools and techniques or simply practice some coaching and get some valuable feedback on your work from fellow professional or curious lay clients. Talking about coaching in small groups and sharing our learning with the rest of the group afterward will help us all grow our understanding, knowledge and coaching skills.
