About Us

Who are Psychosynthesis Coaching Limited?

Psychosynthesis Coaching Limited was set up in 2014 in response to the emergent call for coaching at depth, to make psychosynthesis coaching more available and accessible to leaders and to meet the changing needs of the coaching profession.

Our primary focus is providing leadership coach training and development programmes, both open courses for individual coaches as well as tailored in-house programmes for organisations.  Our flagship course is the Certificate in Psychosynthesis Leadership Coaching, which is Senior Practitioner EQA accredited with the EMCC and can lead to a PGC or MA through our partnership with the Institute of Psychosynthesis. We also run a short course programme leading to Practitioner Coach Accreditation with EMCC, and we have recently added a Team Coach and Group Dynamics training as well as the Embodied Supervisor Training Programme, both of which are in the process of gaining EMCC accreditation.

Psychosynthesis Coaching Limited also creates a focal point for the growing community of practicing psychosynthesis coaches with our symposiums and forums, provides professional support and supervision services to coaches as well as engaging in the broader development of the coaching profession and the growth of a living knowledge base.

Psychosynthesis is going through a renaissance and reinvention as it broadens out from therapeutic training to the wider field of personal development, as intended by the founder Roberto Assagioli. This psychospiritual psychology also combines perfectly with the evolving modality of coaching within the context of leadership and complex organisational and societal systems.      

PCL plays a leading role in developing and applying psychosynthesis for the leadership world and the challenges of the coaching profession. With the increasing acceptance of the whole human being in the work place (body/somatic, emotions/heart, spirit/soul/Self; not just our rationality and minds) the organisational leadership world is calling out for practitioners with psychospiritual awareness, deep understanding of human development as well as the skills to work with crisis in the inner as well as the outer lives of leaders.

Over the last nine years, more than 250 coaches have now been through one of our training programmes, and we are continuing to expand and evolve, with a growing team of trainers, facilitators, supervisors, course tutors and senior psychosynthesis coaches.
