Methodology

Coaching uses various techniques of intervention of which many are taken from psychotherapy, for example from behavior therapy, transaction analysis, from the solution-focused short-time therapy, the provocative therapy and the neurolinguistic programming. In practice, techniques like those above are mostly applied together. A clear, methodical boundary does not exist.

What all basic approaches have in common, is the focus on goal-orientation, activation of resources, the enhancement of perception and the choices of action for the client.
