DescriptionDelegates will be given an introduction into the world of psychodynamics and learn all about various defence mechanisms. These defence mechanisms can come into the coaching room and impact the work. An understanding of what might be getting in the way of the coaching can empower the coach and enable them to work at a deeper level with clients. After attending the course coaches will have an increased awareness of what might be happening in the coaching relationship that they had not been aware of before.
