Within The Craft of the Secure Base Coach, the authors take a new and combined approach to the professions of coaching and counselling to provide a guide for professionals wanting to better assist individuals and teams in periods of transition.

Based on up-to-date scientific insights, and grounded in concepts from attachment theory, this book explores the themes of life transition based on the authors' own Transition Cycle model, and how professional coaches and counsellors can become a secure base for their clients during sometimes traumatic and transitional periods in their lives. Consisting of two parts, the first part of this book focuses on how to become a secure base coach, using case studies to illustrate how readers can affect real change with their clients when providing humanity and proximity to the professional relationship. The second part provides a more practical guide to working with individuals and groups, and how to apply the themes of the Transition Cycle to help with guiding transition.

This will be a valuable resource for coaches, counsellors and therapists, as well as those currently in training. It will also be of use to leaders wishing to learn more about their coaching skills, as well as social workers and grief counsellors/therapists.
