 What does neuropsychology offer coaching? A psycho-spiritual perspective… 

Is neuroscience telling us anything new? How do we reconcile scientific and psycho-spiritual perspectives?

Most coaches will have come across neuroscience or neuropsychology in some form or other. Unless you have explored the field extensively for yourself, you may be wondering what there is to learn from this rich new seam of discovery and how you might draw upon it in your coaching practice. 
I have approached this topic from the perspective of the psychosynthesis coach, one which values inner inquiry and experiential observation as a valid knowledge path alongside behavioural observation and scientific discovery in the material world. We work with the inner lives of our coaching clients through all levels of consciousness and realms of the psyche (e.g. body, feelings, mind, spirit, etc) as well as their outer lives of action, behaviour and goals.  From this perspective, I am asking, is neuroscience: 

  • telling us what we already know about the mind and human behaviour, by using an explanation of what is going on in the brain? 
  • telling us something significantly new or different that we should listen to and incorporate in our coaching? or 
  • telling us that we have got some things wrong and need to work in a new or different way?

STUDENT FEEDBACK  from PGCPLC Programmes Four and Five

Overall, this is a fantastic course which covers both academic and practical learning. JG 


The Psychosynthesis Leadership Coaching course is a powerful combination of theory and experience that has deepened my understanding of self and improved the quality of my coaching. I am more grounded and confident in my ability to work with individuals at depth to support the transformation of leaders and organisations. RL 


An excellent foundation in leadership coaching; an extraordinary experience both personally and professionally. KW


Both Paul & Aubyn (& the rest of the teaching panel) were excellent facilitators, outlining and sharing real world experiences. AS


From the moment I stepped into the training room I had a sense of coming home. It was clear from the get-go that we, the participants, were going to be on an extraordinary, creative, inspiring and hugely informative learning journey; a journey that perfectly combined theory and practice. Aubyn and Paul hold the space beautifully, flowing with what emerges in the group while ensuring that the group also gets the learning it needs. RH 


Expect to be on a deep personal journey, as well as a professional one.  LS


This course is a commitment to personal growth, understanding leadership, coaching, and mostly, bringing more of your soul and higher self into reality. You will not regret doing this course, it has something for everyone…Thank you all so much, this course has changed my life. AY


I found the course transformational, for my coaching and in my personal growth. And for deepening my understanding of how both are inextricably linked…
As practitioners it invites us to find our 'more than' so that we become a resource for others to find theirs. All of which adds a new dimension to both the coaching experience and to what constitutes and supports good leadership. PC
