'Coaching' as a professional term in business, relationships, and life in general is one that is becoming more popular.

Expressions believe 'Coaching' is about "discovery, awareness and choice"
(Whitworth, et al. 1998)

Expressions coaching services are centred around relationships designed and defined with a 'critical friend' approach. This is based on the client's expressed interests, goals and objectives.

As professional coaches we may use reflection, inquiry, requests and discussion to help clients identify personal and/or business and/or relationship goals, develop strategies, relationships and action plans intended to achieve those goals. Our coaches provide a place for clients to be held accountable to themselves by monitoring the clients' progress towards implementation of their action plans. Together we evolve and modify the plan to best suit the client's needs and environmental relationships. Our coaches often act as human mirrors for clients by sharing outside, unbiased and non-judgmental perspectives.

Coaching is essentially about change, whether this is changing behaviour, confidence, wellbeing, perception or surrounding environment, clients are responsible for their own achievements and success and the coach helps the clients help themselves.
