I am therapist, why study Enneagram Coaching?
“The
public has a clear thirst for methodologies that enhance well-being
and facilitate the attainment of personal and business goals. Yet
historically, psychology as an academic and applied discipline has
failed to adequately engage with this demand, leaving the door open
for other, arguably, less qualified individuals to meet the public’s
call for personal development tools. Many
of us came to our studies in psychology with the expectation that we
would learn empirically validated ways to work with people, to help
them set and reach goals in their personal and business lives. We
were looking to be taught how to design and implement real-life
change interventions that furthered our understandings of the
psychological mechanisms of human change and development.
Unfortunately, for many of us the undergraduate curriculum was
disappointing in that regard.
Without
doubt, the theoretical and empirical foundations laid in the study of
perception, learning, individual differences, neuroscience, and
social and abnormal psychology are all important in understanding the
mechanics of the mind, and group and individual processes. The
growing body of knowledge and practice in applying this theory and
research in clinical settings bears witness to this. Nevertheless,
there has been a frustrating gap in the application of psychological
knowledge beyond clinical populations to improve the lives of
so-called normally functioning individuals and groups. This kind of frustrations gave impetus to the emergence of contemporary coaching psychology“

What is
the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is a
personality types system that studies the differences between people. It
describes nine distinct ways of thinking, feeling and acting. It also describes
how we become trapped in our personality mechanisms and what can we do to relax
our defenses, so we can not only live life from a place of greater freedom but
can also unleash our gifts and true potential. It's therefore invaluable for
personal growth and a "must-have" addition for a therapist toolbox. Read a description of the nine types
What's
unique about Enneagram Coaching?
Unintentionally, many
professional coaches relate to their clients using a "one-size-fits-all", canned
approach. As if all clients were "the same" - what works with one client will
also work with another. But in reality it doesn't work like that. Clients are
different. The Enneagram gives you the sensitivity to profoundly understand each
one of your clients, so you can create rapport, emphatize and compassionately
help them heal in the most integral way possible.
