A question that we get asked a lot when speaking to individuals applying on our programmes is…

How do you structure a coaching session?
Structuring a?coaching?programme is about creating a flexible container that supports trust, safety, and client-centered growth, rather than adhering to rigid models or formulas. ?While structure is essential for consistency and clarity, it shouldn't overshadow the real work of being present with the client.?
?This article explores how to design a?coaching?framework that aligns with ICF competencies—fostering trust, active listening, and presence—while allowing space for each client's unique journey to unfold. In integrative?coaching, models and techniques can provide guidance but should never come at the expense of genuine connection. Instead, we aim to hold a space where the client, not the model, takes centre stage.
