What is Coaching Psychology?

The practice of coaching psychology may be described as a process for enhancing well-being and performance in personal life and work domains underpinned by models of coaching grounded in established adult and child learning or psychological theories and approaches. It is practised by qualified coaching psychologists who have relevant qualifications, and have undertaken suitable continuing professional development and supervised practice. The journal’s professional body sponsor, the International Society for Coaching Psychology acknowledges that pre-requisites for the status of qualified psychologist are based on regionally or nationally recognized qualifications. Evidence based coaching psychology practice is informed by theory and research.
