Who We Are
Welcome to the Coaching Psychology Network. Our aim is to create a vibrant and dynamic community of practice for psychologically informed coaches, dedicated to fostering collaborative, continuous learning and mutual growth. This is encapsulated in our tagline 'Work together, learn together, grow together'.
Whether you are an established practitioner seeking to deepen your understanding of coaching psychology, a budding enthusiast eager to explore the nuances of this dynamic field, or a thought leader seeking to support other coaching psychologists and influence and lead the advancement of the field, the Coaching Psychology Network is designed to be a supportive and enriching environment for all.
We recognise the immense value that comes from collective wisdom and shared experiences. The Coaching Psychology Network is not just a community; it is a hub where those interested in coaching psychology come together to elevate their practice, contribute to our understanding of contemporary practice and research, and build enduring connections within the community.
Our network aims to offer a supportive environment where expertise is exchanged, ideas flourish, and connections thrive. We'd love you to join us as we explore the ever-evolving landscape of coaching psychology, foster connections, ignite inspiration, and seek opportunities to collaborate on research and practice.
