Trauma-Informed Coaching

Trauma-informed coaching is a coaching practice that integrates an understanding of the impact of trauma into the coach’s framework. It acknowledges past traumas and seeks to create a safe, non-judgmental space for clients to grow and move forward.

This approach recognizes that trauma can affect all dimensions of well-being, and focuses on building resilience and empowering the client. A hoped for outcome is that by deepening our understanding of how people are affected by trauma, we as coaches can avoid triggering clients or re-traumatizing them.

Peace & Safety

Creating a physically, psychologically emotionally safe environment for our clients.

Trustworthiness & Transparency

Maintaining transparency in intentions and confidentiality, while following through on commitments and promises.

Peer Support

The experiences of those who have lived through trauma can give us valuable insights and guidance

Collaboration and Mutuality

Engaging the client as a full partner in their journey, working together to ensure there is creative partnership as a powerful instrument. 

Cultural, Historical, &
Gender Sensitivity

Being aware of the wider systemic factors that can play a harmful or difficult role.

Empowerment, Voice, & Choice

Ensuring that the client has control over their decisions, while celebrating their resilience and acknowledging their ability to heal.

Our approach focuses on the individual and their strengths, rather than weaknesses.  We identify and explore the forces that govern a person's thinking, emotions, and behavior.  Through systematic examination, people are able to increase their self-awareness and learn to control how they react and respond.
