Practitioner Trainers:

 

Practitioner trainers have completed our 2-Day Core Training in Emotion Coaching and two reflection sessions led by EC UK co-founders and Senior Lead Practitioner Trainers. After six months of practising Emotion Coaching in their setting, they applied for accreditation.

 

Practitioner Trainers are provided with EC UK training resources that cover the Emotion Coaching principles and approach because they have:

  • Delivered Emotion Coaching and have been evaluated in their setting

  • Successfully demonstrated an understanding of Emotion Coaching in their professional practice through the collation of reflective logs

  • Foundational knowledge of Emotion Coaching as evidenced by reading key texts.

 

Accreditation is renewed yearly and requires evidence of training and continued collation of reflective logs that demonstrate how Emotion Coaching has been used in their practice.
