Who is the course for?
This course is for people who have completed the Postgraduate Certificate in Business and Executive Coaching/Diploma in Advanced Business and Executive Coaching or equivalent education, training and experience elsewhere and who are seeking to deepen their understanding of and practice in the psychological dimension of coaching.
Course content
The programme covers six key psychological theories:
- Person-centred
- Gestalt
- Transactional analysis
- Psychodynamic
- Existential
- Immunity to change
Throughout, there is a focus on the application of the theories and key concepts (such as transference and counter-transference) to the practice of coaching. There is also a strong personal development theme through individual, small and large group experiential work, rooted in the belief that development of psychological capability involves personal engagement in the material.
The programme is delivered through two and three day workshops and course requirements include completion of three assignments.

Upon successful completion of the programme, delegates can progress to the third, Masters level stage of the MA through Leeds Metropolitan University. Alternatively, with the 120 CATS points, delegates can apply to complete MA awards of other universities.
