Coaching for Loss, Change Uncertainty & Grief

Change is an inevitable part of life and over the course of a lifetime, we and our clients will probably experience several significant life transitions. Some of these will be initiated and planned for and others will be totally unplanned. Some of these will be welcome and others unwelcome.

The course will draw on psychological models and literature to share approaches and techniques which can use to help clients manage the big, small and inevitable changes which life throws at us.
