Recovery Coaching for Coaches
There are lots of pitfalls coaches can fall into when working with clients with self destructive behaviour. We offer coaching supervision and training to help coaches be more effective and confident and avoid colluding with their clients.
Benefits of supervision:
- having a safe non judgmental place to talk about the clients
- speaking to someone who understands the issues that lead to people behaving self destructively
- gaining knowledge
- learning new tools
- seeing blind spots
- managing despair when clients relapse
- support and encouragement
- affirmation that what coach is doing is useful
Benefits of training:
- gaining knowledge
- raising awareness
- increasing confidence

- forming peer support
- increased credibility
The training is face to face and covers:
- understanding addiction – physical, emotional and mental effects
