There are very few texts that fully attend to therapy and coaching integration, even though it is an area of growing interest and urgency. This volume provides a framework for a new model of integrated counselling and coaching.

Structured in three primary parts and containing valuable case studies that support reflective practice, the book explores and discusses how therapy and coaching can be combined to complement and enhance practice. The introduction makes the case for an intentional synthesis of therapeutic and coaching approaches, as a response to the complex and evolving needs of clients in contemporary life. It explores why integration is emerging now and sets out the current landscape, referencing key theories and models that have supported practice thus far. Parts I and II feature contributions from expert and leading figures in the practice of integrating therapy and coaching across the life stages and in settings and places, whilst Part III presents a new framework for integration, further illuminated by the editors' reflections on their own unique routes into integrative practice, and their personal reflections on how the framework can support different expressions of integration in the current and developing contexts that they are working in.

This will be a valuable new resource for counselling and coaching practitioners who are seeking insight into how an integrative approach might serve their clients more effectively, as well as appealing to trainers and supervisors, psychologists, mental health workers, social workers, and anyone who is interested in supporting people to overcome challenges and flourish.
