This module explores the different coaching approaches to improving physical health, mental health, and enhancing well-being, ranging from “goal oriented” approaches such as CBT, ACT, and solution-focused coaching, to more “meaning making” approaches, such as positive, existential and ecological coaching.
You will develop a range of cognitive, behavioural, imaginal and problem-solving skills associated with these approaches such as: relaxation techniques, motivational interviewing, Socratic questioning and storytelling.
A variety of teaching methods will be employed, including lectures, student led learning, skills’ practice, discussions based on prior reading, practical exercises, and self-reflections.
