Narrative Coaching Courses (One-on-one)

The Transformational Narrative Coaching training programme is delivered entirely one-on-one, ensuring a fully individualised learning experience.

  • “It seems lazy to say that Transformational Narrative Coaching ‘transformed’ my coaching practice, but that is really the truth of it. In my practice, it has allowed my clients to really make a step change in their lives. I would recommend the Transformational Narrative Coaching approach to any coach that is interested in the stories we tell ourselves and how we can use stories to craft a better future.”
