Coaching Psychology Clinic
Unlock your potential with professional coaching tailored to your unique needs. Coaching is for everyone: whether you are a business leader or a student, coaching can help you progress in lots of different areas of your life. So, if you’ve ever felt like you might be getting in your own way, or that you could achieve more if you tackled your projects or problems differently, coaching could help.
All our coaches are highly qualified Coaching Psychologists—not just coaches—trained to integrate psychological theory and evidence-based approaches into their coaching practice. We are currently a team of five, all of whom are Chartered Psychologists registered with the British Psychological Society. You can trust that your coaching experience will be rooted in professional knowledge, care, and results-driven techniques.
As well as delivering coaching services for professionals, we offer free Academic Coaching sessions to all our Edge Hill psychology students.

“Over the course of my life coaching sessions I feel I was provided with a supportive and constructive space where I felt heard, encouraged, and gently challenged to further my perspective around my own goals and core values. We collaboratively used a variety of tools – from merely talking to mindfulness techniques and emotive cards. In response to this experience, I feel my career interests have widened and I would be interested in delving deeper into this sector of psychology.”
Important Information
Mental health
Please note that we are a coaching psychology service only. Our staff are not qualified to treat mental health issues or to provide therapy. If the process of coaching reveals significant challenges or worries regarding your mental health, you will be automatically referred to the Student Support team and in most circumstances coaching will be put on hold until after Student Support confirm it may continue. This is due to the University’s duty of care with respect to risk management for students with mental health difficulties.
Confidentiality
Your conversations with us, and any information you send in through our booking form, will be treated confidentially. This is in line with best practice as outlined by the British Psychological Society. Your coach will keep some basic notes about what you’ve talked about, e.g. they might record what goals you’re working on. Other coaching psychologists in the clinic, and our supporting administrators, might have access to these notes and the details of your case for supervision and other related needs, but all staff are bound by the same confidentiality agreement. Other lecturing staff in the department will not have access to these notes except in the types of circumstances described below.
In some unusual circumstances, for instance if we believed a crime had been committed, or if there was risk of harm, we might have an ethical or legal duty to inform someone else, for example the police. Please also note that the Coaching Clinic is an academic clinic. This means our work is supported through the integration of research and scholarship. We may from time to time use case examples from the clinic in research and scholarly work. However, whenever this happens we will never use your name or other identifiable information. Any case studies that are written up for any scholarly purpose will remain entirely anonymous. If you are concerned about confidentiality, feel free to ask your coaching psychologist any questions you might have.
