Introduction

‘Therapist to Coach’ supports qualified therapists in making the thoughtful transition into professional coaching. It explores how therapeutic insight, relational depth, and reflective practice can enrich coaching without crossing into therapy, offering a rigorous and ethical framework for dual-qualified practitioners. Drawing on over a decade of training experience, it addresses the identity shifts, boundary considerations, and professional dilemmas that accompany this move. Through theory, practice, and case vignettes, the book provides guidance on competences, ethics, supervision, and positioning, alongside reflections on trauma, culture, and impact. More than a manual, it serves as an invitation to engage critically and creatively with coaching as a distinct professional identity that expands therapeutic expertise while honouring integrity and depth.
