Schema Coaching: Overcoming Deep-seated Challenges

Schema Coaching is an informative guide for coaches, providing readers with a powerful and evidence-based approach to dealing with persistent personal difficulties.

Schema coaching has a strong foundation in schema therapy which has been used in many parts of the world for over 20 years as a highly successful approach for helping clients with anxiety and depression, as well as more severe personality disorders. The book provides clear practical guidelines, illustrative case studies and reflective practice exercises to those who wish to implement a range of schema techniques when coaching with the non-clinical population. The book is in two parts, the first is primarily designed for coaches that do not have clinical, counselling or psychotherapy training and the second includes more advanced techniques which are designed for coaches with this type of training or qualifications. It also clearly sets out the ethical steps any coach should undertake before using therapeutic techniques with a client.

This will be an informative and engaging resource in a new and extremely important area of coaching, suitable for coaches, coaching psychologists, coaching educators, and anyone with a general interest in this topic.
