Group coaching supports individuals in working on personal or professional goals within a small, facilitated group while remaining fully centred on each participant’s own agenda. Unlike team coaching, participants do not work towards a shared organisational objective. Instead, each person focuses on their own development while benefiting from the richness of shared reflection, collective intelligence, diverse perspectives, encouragement and accountability. The group dynamic often generates new insights, broadens self-awareness, reduces feelings of isolation and strengthens motivation, making progress more consistent and sustainable over time. Conducted within a confidential, non-judgemental and professionally held space, group coaching also encourages active listening, authentic self-expression, mutual respect and meaningful learning from others’ experiences.
An example of group coaching could be a small coaching group focused on emotional eating. In a safe and supportive environment, participants explore their relationship with food, emotions and self-care while remaining focused on their own individual goals. Sharing experiences with others facing similar challenges can help normalise difficulties, increase self-awareness, foster self-compassion and support lasting behavioural change. Similar groups may also focus on topics such as wellbeing, resilience, life transitions, stress management or personal growth.
Group sessions take place either on site, in my office, with a maximum of five participants, or online via Zoom or Google Meet, with groups limited to twelve participants. Session themes are defined well in advance and may be proposed by the coach or co-created by the group, ensuring clarity, relevance, and intentional focus.
