Deepening Your Practice: Working with the Unfolding Self
A new 9-month programme for developing as a coach, for graduates of the PCC, beginning May 2026
We are delighted to announce that 2026 will see the launch of a new 9-month advanced coach development programme for graduates of the Professional Coaching Course. It will be an opportunity to take everything you've learned on the PCC and deepen it.
Taking place over three intensive sessions between May 2026 and February 2027, accompanied by ongoing streams of coaching practice, one-to-one coaching with our faculty, group sessions, supervision and peer practice, this new programme provides sustained, deep support for you to step deeper into your skilfulness as an integral development coach, developing your sensitivity, creativity, and responsiveness.
We will draw throughout on the Integral Development Coaching method alongside Internal Family Systems. IFS proposes we're constituted as a system of inner parts in ongoing relationship with one another and the world, as well as an enduring Essential Self — an inherent wholeness that can attend to all this complexity in skilful ways.
The central question animating this programme is how to respond skilfully and compassionately, in real time, to what arises in the moment — in your client, in you, and in the space between you. You'll develop your capacity to pay close attention to your clients as you work with them, to notice and work kindly with protective patterns that may stand in the way of their unfolding, to work with the different voices within them that may be in conflict or want contradictory things, to track your own reactions and use them skilfully, and to sense what's needed developmentally across all four human domains. Drawing on IFS alongside Focusing, inquiry, process work and somatic sensing, you'll expand your ability to work with the rich complexity of human experience as it unfolds.
The programme will be led by Justin Wise, Neena Sims and Lizzie Winn, who have been developing this body of work for the past five years.
