Psychoanalytically informed executive and personal coaching emphasises understanding the implicit or semi-conscious and unconscious dynamics, motivations, and interpersonal patterns that influence behaviour and relational dynamics.
Unlike traditional coaching methods, psychoanalytically informed coaching delves deeper to explore how relational patterns and hidden conflicts may impact effectiveness.
This approach focuses on fostering self-awareness, insight, and emotional intelligence to help clients uncover blind spots, address underlying issues, and develop more adaptive interpersonal  styles. Psychoanalytically informed coaching encourages reflection, introspection, and exploration of the root causes of behaviour – yours and the behaviours of those around you – enabling clients to make meaningful and sustainable changes in their personal style and approach.
Ultimately, psychoanalytically informed coaching aims to enhance leadership effectiveness, promote personal growth, and facilitate positive organisational change by addressing the complex interplay between individual psychology and group or team dynamics. It provides a supportive and transformative space for clients to explore their inner world, unlock their full potential, and live, work and lead with greater authenticity, empathy, and impact.
