Researchers at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) are seeking healthy adults, who are not experiencing clinical levels of psychological distress, and who are interested in exploring a life issue with the help of a coach.
What does taking part involve?
Participants will take part in a coaching experience that will comprise six coaching sessions over a period of 6-14 weeks. Coach and participant will meet online via videocall, and the participant will use this time to talk about any life issue he/she might be currently interested in exploring further with the help of a coach.
Participants will undergo a -confidential- person-centred coaching intervention where they will be invited to make use of practices that have been reported to help awaken individuals’ own creative powers when exploring a life issue, like dream recall, creative artwork, imaginal play, open meditation or storytelling. Participants will be free to choose which -if any- of these practices, they would like to explore.
Participants should keep in mind that coaching is for enhancing wellbeing in personal life. Participants will be asked to take a short multiple-choice questionnaire. At the end of the coaching experience, participants will be invited to meet with the researcher for an audio-recorded feedback session.
Who can take part in this study?
Healthy adults (+18) who are not experiencing significant -clinical- levels of psychological distress, and who wish to explore a life issue with the help of a coach.
Where does the study take place?
Participants will talk to a coach in a private location of their choosing via video-call.
Further details can be found in the Participant Information Sheet.
