Therapeutic coaching bridges the deep attunement of therapy with the clarity and momentum of coaching. It's a relational space rooted in emotional tracking, present-moment awareness, and genuine respect for your inner world. This isn't about fixing you. It's about walking beside you as you reconnect with the voice inside that already knows how to move forward: honestly, gently, and in your own time.
What Is Therapeutic Coaching?
Unlike traditional coaching, which tends to focus on goals and performance, therapeutic coaching holds the whole person. It acknowledges that how we think, work, and move through the world is shaped by our emotional lives, our nervous systems, our histories, and the stories we've inherited about who we're allowed to be.
It's particularly well-suited to people who want more than strategies and who need a space that honours both the complexity beneath the surface and the desire to actually go somewhere with it.
What It Can Help With
Therapeutic coaching can support a wide range of personal and professional concerns, including:
ADHD support: understanding how your mind works, building systems that fit you rather than fighting you, and untangling the shame that so often accumulates around late or missed diagnoses.
Career and professional development: navigating burnout, career transitions, workplace dynamics, and the question of whether the path you're on still belongs to you
Life transitions: moving through change with more presence, less self-abandonment, and greater clarity about what you actually want
Identity and purpose: reconnecting with your values, your direction, and a sense of self that isn't built around performance or approval
Shame and stuckness: releasing the self-attack that keeps you circling without moving
Boundaries and relational clarity: building trust in your own timing, truth, and limits
Emotional patterns: holding space for past wounds while building new ways of being
For Professionals and Helping Practitioners Many of the people who come to therapeutic coaching are high-functioning on the outside and quietly exhausted on the inside. They are therapists, coaches, healthcare workers, educators, and leaders who are skilled at holding others and less practised at being held themselves.
If you're carrying the weight of a demanding role, navigating a career crossroads, or simply noticing that something needs to shift, therapeutic coaching offers a space that meets both your professional complexity and your human one.
How It Differs From Counselling
Counselling and therapeutic coaching share a relational foundation, but they move differently. Counselling tends to focus on past wounds, safety, and deep psychological processing. Therapeutic coaching brings those insights into the present and gently asks: what next?
| Counselling & Psychotherapy | Therapeutic Coaching | |
| Focus | Past experience and process | Present awareness and forward movement |
| Explores | Root causes and emotional history | Integration and new patterns |
| Structure | Often open-ended | Can include goal-holding and direction |
| Role | Therapist as guide and container | Coach as attuned partner in your unfolding |
This isn't about performance. It's about permission to feel, to grow, and to honour what you already know.
