Therapeutic Coaching Service

Complex Emotional Needs (CEN) is an umbrella term referring to a broad group of people who live with long term challenges in their emotional and relational functioning, often because of trauma in earlier life. This group may have a diagnosis of ‘personality disorder’ or live with comparable symptoms and difficulties.

Our Service

Guideposts Complex Emotional Needs Therapeutic Coaching service is a mid to long-term bespoke therapeutic coaching service for clients living with Complex Emotional Needs. We work with clients for up to 12 months.

We aim to empower individuals by providing a client-led, comprehensive support system that is relational, adaptable, and holistic in its approach.

We are committed to delivering a range of services, including coaching, psychoeducation, and therapeutic interventions, tailored to meet the unique needs of each person. 

By fostering a strong therapeutic alliance we aim to promote positive growth, resilience and independence through inspiring clients to develop their own sense of self and overall wellbeing.

Our unique approach to coaching clients living with Complex Emotional Needs:

  • Is psychologically informed and employs evidence based therapeutic techniques intended to supplement but not replace clients’ ongoing treatment.
  • Relies on a strong therapeutic alliance to create a safe space where clients feel listened to, respected, validated, and not judged.
  • Creates an opportunity for clients to reflect prior to the escalation of suicidal impulses and non-suicidal self-injurious acts, which helps them shape future skills and effective behaviours.
  • Enables clients to develop new and appropriate ways of connecting with others by using adaptive ways of communicating distress and asking for help.
