Emotional Intelligence Coaching

Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognise, understand, and manage your own emotions, and to respond effectively to the emotions of others. Research connects higher emotional intelligence with effective leadership, meaningful professional relationships, lower stress, and improved performance.

Studies report medium-to-high effect sizes for REBT in reducing performance anxiety, perfectionism, and procrastination, and longitudinal studies link coaching to lower burnout through effective stress management, empathy, and self-regard. Person-centred practice builds the self-acceptance and psychological safety that sustain open, trusting relationships. Coaching is also associated with measurable gains in Emotional Quotient scores, particularly intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. Industry analyses link higher emotional intelligence to stronger team leadership and greater job satisfaction.

This service combines person-centred counselling principles with active REBT coaching. Person-centred approaches create a supportive environment for reflection and self-understanding, based on empathy, acceptance, and non-judgement. REBT coaching provides a structured process for identifying unhelpful beliefs, challenging them using evidence and logic, and developing more flexible ways of thinking and responding. Together, they support both deeper self-awareness and practical behavioural change.

We intend to provide this service for professionals, managers, and leaders who want to improve self-awareness, emotional regulation, communication, and workplace relationships. At the same time, organisations may also use it to support leadership development, team effectiveness, and employee development. However, it is not designed as a clinical service or treatment for mental health conditions.

Sessions combine reflection, discussion, and practical exercises. We explore situations that create challenges, identify the thoughts and emotions involved, examine unhelpful patterns, and develop alternative ways of responding. Between sessions, clients may apply agreed strategies and reflect on progress in real workplace situations. The programme typically runs over sixteen weeks and follows five stages, from assessment and goal setting through to skill development and integration. Sessions are scheduled weekly, with the final number also depending on your goals, progress, and preferred pace.

The programme fee is £4,700, with extra 1-to-1 sessions available at £105 per hour. Delivery takes place online through Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams, with sessions lasting 120 minutes. Longer sessions and tailored group programmes can be arranged based on your goals, requirements, and development priorities.

Yes. We provide one-to-one as well as group coaching, team workshops, and organisation-wide development programmes. Delivery can focus on areas such as leadership, communication, emotional regulation, conflict management, and workplace relationships depending on organisational needs.

Progress is assessed through coaching reflection, goal review, and structured assessment. During our engagements, we actively review changes in thinking, behaviour, and responses to workplace situations so that we can track development over time. The validated EQ-i 2.0 assessment provides a structured measure of emotional intelligence at the start of the programme and can be repeated later to evaluate changes. We may also supplement that with custom-built psychometric tools. Organisations can also request anonymised group-level reporting to understand development across teams.

The EQ-i 2.0 assessment is a separate service. It includes the assessment, a detailed report, and a feedback session to help you understand your emotional intelligence profile, strengths, and development areas. The results can be used to support personal development, leadership development, or wider organisational programmes. The assessment package is priced separately from coaching sessions.

No. This is a coaching and development service, not a clinical intervention. It does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions and is not a replacement for therapy, psychiatric care, or medical support. If your needs fall outside the scope of coaching, we will recommend seeking appropriate professional support.

Our practitioners hold an MSc in Psychology of Human Resources and Organisational Health and a BSc in Cognitive-Behavioural Psychology, alongside a BSc in Economics and BA. They are trained in REBT to Primary Practicum level through the Albert Ellis Institute in New York and hold Level 3 counselling skills training accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). They also hold British Psychological Society (BPS) Test User qualifications in Personality and Ability Assessment (Levels A and B) from Cambridge University, The Psychometrics Centre, and EQ-i 2.0/EQ 360 certification, and have more than 13 years of applied i/o psychology experience. We provide coaching and organisational development services only and do not offer clinical diagnosis, psychological treatment, or medical advice.

All coaching sessions are confidential. Information shared during coaching is not disclosed to third parties without your consent, except where there is a serious and immediate risk of harm or where disclosure is required by law. Confidentiality and ethical boundaries are agreed before the programme begins.

Our practitioners work in line with the ethical frameworks and professional guidance of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the British Psychological Society (BPS). This includes standards relating to informed consent, confidentiality, professional boundaries, competence, and client wellbeing. Where counselling skills are applied within coaching or development work, they are used within the appropriate professional boundaries and do not constitute formal psychological therapy, psychotherapy, clinical assessment or counselling, diagnosis, or medical treatment.

If at any point it becomes clear that your needs require clinical or therapeutic support, we will tell you directly and help you identify the appropriate professional resource. We do not continue coaching where clinical support is more appropriate. This is consistent with our duty of care and the ethical obligations.
