Therapeutic Confidence Coaching
a gentler approach to traditional coaching
Have you heard of Therapeutic coaching?
Therapeutic coaching combines coaching methodologies with psychological understanding; it's designed for well-functioning individuals who want to address deeper behavioural patterns that limit their effectiveness.
Typical areas that can be helped:
Public speaking anxiety
Conflict avoidance
Self-sabotaging behaviors
Perfectionism and overwhelm
Persistent imposter syndrome
Who Is Therapeutic Coaching for?
Ideal candidates are high-functioning professionals who are emotionally stable but encounter specific internal obstacles. They're ready for self-exploration without being in crisis or requiring clinical intervention.
How It Differs from Traditional Approaches
Traditional Coaching focuses primarily on mindset shifts and goal achievement through cognitive strategies.
Therapy addresses mental health conditions, trauma processing, and long-term emotional support.
Therapeutic Coaching targets the nervous system's learned responses to specific triggers, using both psychological insight and somatic techniques to create lasting behavioural change.
Example Application
A competent professional experiences panic when presenting ideas in meetings. Rather than addressing this as a "confidence issue," therapeutic coaching might:
Identify the original incident that created this response
Use nervous system regulation techniques to neutralise the stored emotional charge
Help the person's biology recognise that speaking up is now safe
Not sure if you need Therapy or Therapeutic Coaching?
Choose Therapy If You:
Experience significant mental health symptoms
Need support for recent or complex trauma
Struggle with daily emotional regulation
Require ongoing psychological care
Choose Therapeutic Coaching If You:
Function well but face recurring internal blocks
Want to understand behavioural patterns without extensive analysis
Prefer short-term, solution-focused work
Are emotionally stable and ready for targeted change
