We integrate Psychology into our training, so that the coaching approaches you learn are backed up by scientific research

  • By integrating Psychology with coaching, our trained coaches can offer more holistic and evidence-based approaches to help their clients achieve their goals.  We equip you with a variety of techniques on our courses so you can select the best approach for your client in the moment, to create a truly transformational session. Our Psychology based training allows you to draw on a rich body knowledge  to create meaningful and sustainable change in your life as well as your client's lives.

    With Psychology at the heart of both our Diplomas, long before you start coaching others, you develop an understanding of  the brain, human behaviour and how people think, feel and act.   You'll explore various aspects of human cognition, emotion, motivation, perception, development, social interaction, and a lot more.

    This then gives you the Psychological insights of what may be going on for your clients to help them get new insights and make the transformations they are ultimately looking for.

  • Our coach training framework works on three levels;

    • You as a coach - how will knowing this help you, your practice and your client experience? 
    • Informed practice - how will knowing this help your awareness of what is going on for your clients so you can support them more effectively? 
    • Tools, techniques and approaches - what can you draw on to support my clients in different situations?
  • If you want to build your own coaching business we offer additional support including an online business program, annual business days and monthly mentoring and marketing calls.

" There is a huge amount of support from the teachers on the course and really great support in the sessions... And then you've got this bespoke service from your mentor where you can really get into some detail on your own journey in coaching.   And then the unexpected big element for me is about finding this community of peers who are going through the same journey with different approaches, a real diversity of professions and expertise and ages and so on"                                                                                                    Tess Nixon Speller - Coach & Fundraising Consultant
"It’s opened my eyes actually to all different types of coaching and that was part of the reason why I chose to go on the Optimus course. When you do it in a corporate environment, typically, you come across Grow and some of the other more basic, more transactional type models, whereas having the opportunity to learn about things like positive psychology and neuroscience and transactional analysis and how that all links into how you can approach stuff as a coach has made a huge difference."                      Chris Roberts - Leadership and Team Coach

"It's everything that I thought it would be and probably, even more. I love the flexibility around it and I've met some amazing people."
