Mental Health in Coaching PracticeWydanie 1

Mental Health in Coaching Practice – Approaches to Navigate Intersecting Spaces speaks directly to a growing reality in coaching: mental health is present in the room, whether we name it or not. As clients bring complexity, distress, and uncertainty into coaching conversations, many practitioners find themselves asking: What am I holding? What is mine to work with – and what isn’t? This book offers clarity at that edge.

Grounded in research and lived practice, it is a reflective guide for coaches, coach supervisors, and leaders who want to respond with ethical awareness, confidence, and care – without diagnosing, treating, or straying beyond their professional scope. Structured around seven guiding principles and a Why / What / How / Reflection framework, the book integrates theory with application. The Integrative Reflective Practice Model (IRM) and the Flounder–Flourish Matrix (FFM) are brought to life through case vignettes, reflective questions, and tools.

This is not about having all the answers or training you to be a coach therapist. It is about developing the discernment to know what to do next – and why.
