This book struck me as a perfect balance between the worlds of coaching and therapy, catering to individuals with varying levels of expertise in both fields. What sets it apart is its ability to seamlessly blend practical coaching techniques with a solid foundation in psychology to support those who are trained counsellors, making it accessible and beneficial for both seasoned coaches and skilled therapists.
I appreciated how the book delved into the psychology behind the methods and stages it presents, providing a comprehensive understanding that can be applied effectively by practitioners in either discipline. Even in its simplest form, the three stages outlined in the book stand strong on their own, offering valuable tools for anyone seeking to support others on their journey of growth and self-discovery.
Moreover, for those who desire a deeper and more challenging understanding, the book offers ample opportunities to explore and employ its concepts to their fullest potential. It's evident that this book has the power to make a real difference in the lives of those who work as skilled helpers, empowering them to support their clients with greater effectiveness and insight.
Four stars only because it is tough going at times meaning I could only read it in small amounts.
