Frequently Asked Questions
What is Therapeutic Coaching™?
Developed by Alex Howard and Anna Duschinsky, and practised at the award-winning Optimum Health Clinic (UK), Therapeutic Coaching™ integrates the latest research and blends key principles from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), hypnotherapy, developmental psychology, life coaching, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), and mindfulness. It works holistically on the cognitive, emotional, and somatic levels.
What happens during a Therapeutic Coaching™ session?
During a session, you will be asked specific tailored questions to better understand how you process experiences and store memories. The goal is to identify limiting beliefs, conflicting parts, or unresolved memories. Sessions may also include techniques like EFT, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and personalized exercises. You might receive homework to help build new habits between sessions.
How long are the sessions, and how often do they take place?
Each session lasts about 60 minutes and typically takes place every two weeks. The total commitment is six sessions (6 x 60 minutes), with additional time on your own to integrate new habits.
What are the benefits of Therapeutic Coaching™?
Potential benefits include improved emotional self-regulation, mental clarity, breaking old patterns, reduced stress, less reactivity, better decision-making, increased confidence, self-love, clearer personal boundaries, more harmonious relationships.
How is Therapeutic Coaching™ different from other approaches?
As the name implies, Therapeutic Coaching™ blends therapeutic techniques with coaching. Unlike therapy, which focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, or life coaching, which is future-focused, this approach integrates cognitive, emotional, and somatic levels for a more holistic experience. *Please note: Therapeutic Coaching does not diagnose or treat mental health disorders or severe trauma.
What support is available between sessions?
While there is no formal support between sessions, you may receive exercises or "homework" to practice on your own, helping reinforce what was covered during the sessions and build new neural pathways.
What if I don’t see results?
Personal growth takes time and effort. If you’re not experiencing progress, we can adjust the approach or explore alternative strategies. Clear communication is essential throughout the process and we will review at regular intervals.
How do I know if I’m ready for Therapeutic Coaching™?
If you feel stuck, stressed, overwhelmed, or are seeking positive change but don’t know how to move forward, this approach may be a good fit for you. Being ready means you’re open to self-reflection and personal growth.
Who is Therapeutic Coaching™ not for?
Therapeutic Coaching™ is not suitable for those with mental health disorders such as PTSD, complex trauma, eating disorders, addiction, or diagnosed conditions like OCD or clinical depression. It is not a replacement for psychotherapy.
As a Therapeutic Coach™ in training, are you supervised?
Yes, as a student in training, I am working under supervision. This means that I regularly consult with a qualified supervisor to ensure I provide the highest level of care. This allows for additional support and guidance during the process. With your consent, video or audio recordings may be submitted to support the supervision.
Does applying for this opportunity mean that I will definitely receive coaching?
We can't guarantee that you will receive coaching. We anticipate a high demand, and the final decision will be up to the supervision team. Other factors that will influence your selection are how soon the application is made, the coaches’ availability, a match in time-zones, and if the issue that you would like to address is suitable for Therapeutic Coaching™.
Is there a cost for these sessions?
This opportunity is offered pro bono, with no payment required for the six sessions. If you feel inspired to make an energetic exchange, you are welcome to make a donation directly to the Earthchild Project, the NGO on whose board I have served since 2021.
