Coaching in the Grey Space is set to enhance the practice of coaching psychology, by defining the previously unidentified grey space – where boundaries between the coaching and therapeutic terrain intersect.

This book navigates how we as coaches can negotiate this complex terrain, to improve the management of boundaries and ethics for coaches within the practice and safeguard clients. It also describes how coaching within the grey space can have both preparatory and preventative effects with the potential for far-reaching positive outcomes. With extensive research, enquiries and experiments and wide-reaching case studies, the book will equip a reader with a thorough understanding of an often complex and fast-moving industry.

Promoting a much-needed evidence-based debate on the ethical boundaries of coaching and therapy, this book will be an original and practical resource of interest for coaching practitioners, both established and for those undergoing training in the field.

‘This research-based book fills a gap by exploring the ambiguous space between coaching and therapy in a thoughtful but well applied way. It is critical but accessible and is a must read for those interested in examining the boundaries and overlaps between the two professions.’

Paul Stokes, PhD, Associate Professor of Coaching and Mentoring, Sheffield Hallam University, UK

'Coaching in the Grey Space aims to enhance the work of helping professionals across different settings, from the beginner to the experienced practitioner. This book offers a timely contribution for those encountering and navigating the Grey Space in their coaching practice, to explore their ways of working and the boundaries of where coaching and therapy intersect. This evidence-based perspective highlights the preparatory and preventative aspects of the Grey Space. A key resource for anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of this complex landscape.' 

Siobhain O’Riordan, PhD, Chartered Coaching Psychologist

'As we learn more about the nature of "everyday trauma" we can see how it contributes to stress overload, dysfunctional behaviours, anxiety and depression  - all widespread today. To make a clear separation between therapy and coaching is no longer feasible, so coaches need to be well supported to work in this "grey area". This important book will do just that – it is a welcome contribution to the coaching profession.'
