Coaching: “Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.”
Psychology: “The scientific discipline that studies mental states and processes in humans, especially those affecting behaviour in a given context.”
One without the other is powerful.
But coaching with psychology – real, valid, reliable, scientific and evidence-based psychology – can be formidable.
Organisational Psychologists are not therapists.
We don’t play with your mind.
We help you understand when you’re at your best and when things might blindside you, stress you or take more effort to handle.
We then work with you to create practices, processes or just awareness of how you can deal with these instances.
For example:
You might be warm, friendly and love people.
You’re empathietic and concensus building. You’re collaborative.
If this is you, you might find it harder to hold others to account, deal with conflict and hold your red lines – resulting in you taking on too much or agreeing to things you shouldn’t.
How do you recognise this in the moment and take steps to not derail yourself?
That (and much, much more) is what a psychologist coach can help with.
