helping you navigate your journey
Coaching helps you set and achieve goals while counselling helps you recognise and solve your problems in life. A coach is required to challenge you in order to help you make better decisions while a counsellor may gently challenge you from time to time but it is not at the core of their work.
Coaching is about change in action while therapy is generally reparative. Within the coaching process we look at how the there and then may be impacting on the here and now but coaching is not focussed on understanding the past or overcoming traumatic events. On the other hand while therapy may look at future goals it may be the case that moving from therapy to coaching after the reparative work has been done is useful for some clients.
My coaching starts from the belief that people are the experts in their own history and experiences. I also believe that in order to help people choose the right path now I have to recognise the intersections of identity and experience that have defined and influenced their journey.
From both professions you can expect respect, unconditional positive regard and a non-judgmental approach. Therapeutic coaching is an approach that combines elements of coaching with traditional therapy or counseling techniques. It aims to help individuals overcome challenges, achieve personal growth, and enhance well-being. As a hybrid approach it draws from both therapeutic and coaching modalities to provide a comprehensive and client-focused intervention.
Whether you’re seeking a new career direction, more work/life balance, or weighing up your choices, there are options.Therapeutic interpersonal coaching puts you at the centre of your decisions, and helps you decide on your future route. I centre your life experience, and its context, to help you make choices that reflect your values and aspirations
You will have heard lots of people talk about life as a journey. The central premise of coaching in the round is that the person who comes to us for help is the centre of the discussion that shapes their journey. You talk, and I listen, using the information you have about yourself to help you see the choices in front of you.
If coaching is person centred then it has to be willing to happen where you want it to happen, not in the traditional office environment you might expect. I can offer coaching via Zoom or Teams, (the most popular option I currently offer) in office, subject to availability, or other environments. Outdoor coaching is available, subject to risk assessments; get in touch to find out more.
My name's Gareth Davies. I qualified as a coach in 2010 from Northumbria University where above all I leant that all good coaches are person centred at their core. This led me to develop my theraputic coaching practice which looks at the whole person whilst staying within the coaching boundaries that are so important to good and ethical practice.
My practice aspires to be anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory, values that reflect my life experience as a queer, cis presenting man.
