It approaches the issue from the perspectives of language, values and effectiveness. Asking what supervision is, if it is consistent with the values of coaching and if it works.It concludes that coaches should neither seek, nor provide, supervision, that the term does not describe what coaches need for development and quality assurance. The use of the term ‘supervision’ may be holding the domain back by implying a particular interaction which coaches may disagree with, and by discouraging coaches from seeking, developing and exploring methods of development with which they feel comfortable. Finally, it identifies serious, undisclosed conflicts of interest.","PeriodicalId":223506,"journal":{"name":"The Coaching Psychologist","volume":"292 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114398232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Schema coaching, a new approach, has been developed by utilising the methods and techniques of schema therapy which have initially been applied to clients in the workforce. An Early Maladaptive Schema (EMS) is an organised persistent pattern of thought and behaviour that typically develops in early childhood and is self-defeating or dysfunctional. For example, a client with the failure EMS may be a highly trained and experienced professional but despite this is haunted by an underlying sense that things will go badly wrong at any moment. Schema coaching systematically integrates a range of techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy, psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, mindfulness and gestalt therapy. The techniques of schema coaching include: case conceptualisation, schema psychoeducation, imagery rescripting, transformational chairwork, schema challenge, mindful release, emotional exposure and relapse prevention. This paper is the first in a series on schema coaching and focuses on the range of EMSs, coping styles and modes (mood states) relevant to coaching. It includes a summary of the effectiveness research on the schema approach and introduces the key concept of limited reparenting.","PeriodicalId":223506,"journal":{"name":"The Coaching Psychologist","volume":"288 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115912881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Group coaching is scalable, cost-effective and arguably better suited to promoting collective understanding and thinking than one-to-one and team coaching. However, this is an area fraught with challenges. In the limited existing literature, group coaching is usually bundled with team coaching and there is no consensus on what group coaching is. This confusion is reflected in the wide, sometimes contradictory, approaches used in the limited number of empirical studies available. Despite that, emerging evidence points to the potential benefits of group coaching in a range of settings. This article explores the extant literature on group coaching and argues for a definition of group coaching that is firmly based on the group process. Finally, it makes the case for group coaching to be considered on its own merit to support the development of the theory, research and practice of this misunderstood coaching modality.","PeriodicalId":223506,"journal":{"name":"The Coaching Psychologist","volume":"198 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116168747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The development of GPT4 has led to these bots becoming increasingly sophisticated and effective at providing support and guidance in various fields. Coaching providers have been quick to operationalise these generative language tools to create new products like AIMY, evoach and Vici. This paper examines the potential of AI chatbots and their integration into coaching tools. It will review the advantages and current limitations of AI coaching chatbots and offer a preliminary definition for the field, seeking to differentiate chatbots from human coaching. The paper also explores the role of coaching psychology, professional bodies and governments in the development and evolution of AI systems and coaching chatbots, and suggests the urgent need for action to protect clients and organisations from unregulated and unethical practices.","PeriodicalId":223506,"journal":{"name":"The Coaching Psychologist","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127059002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we offer an overview of the development of coaching psychology over recent years, contemplating the need to regulate it as a profession. Following that, we consider some of the main coaching and coaching psychology definitions in an attempt to delineate the practice of coaching psychologists from that of non-psychologist coaches. Next, we compare approaches to training and some of the differences between coaching and coaching psychology, as well as the need for an ethical framework and supervision for coaching psychologists.

Attitudes are an important predictor of intention and behaviour, and research shows that both self-stigma and public stigma are predictors of attitudes to seeking psychotherapy while one study (Murphy et al., 2022) has found similar patterns in relation to coaching in a working population. Such work has not been conducted among higher education students.To examine the relationship of both self-stigma and public stigma to attitudes to seeking coaching psychology support among higher education students.A cross-sectional, survey style design was applied, with the data gathered online.Controlling for age and sex, self-stigma emerged as having a strong relationship with attitudes to seeking coaching psychology support. Public stigma did not have a significant direct relationship with attitudes, either bivariately or multivariately. Public stigma did have an indirect relationship with attitudes, mediated by self-stigma.Self-stigma explains much of the variation in attitudes to seeking coaching psychology support, and also appears to mediate a relationship of public stigma with attitudes. In order to increase openness to coaching among higher education students, campaigns to reduce both forms of stigma are indicated.","PeriodicalId":223506,"journal":{"name":"The Coaching Psychologist","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130026238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
