I offer one-on-one coaching specifically focused on developing your NVC communication skills.  

Unlike forms of psychotherapy that examine past trauma and hurt and endeavor to create new neural pathways for present and future healing, Nonviolent Communication-based Coaching primarily looks at how you can apply the tools of Self-Empathy, Other-Empathy and Honest Self-Expression in the here and now. NVC coaching is about helping you navigate the four steps of Observation, Feelings, Needs and Requests in real time, in the relationships that matter to you, to increase connection, understanding and honesty. In addition, NVC Coaching supports exploring what is blocking you from communicating with others' in ways that increase connection, unlearning judgmental or moralistic forms of communication and learning how to identify your vulnerable and honest experience and share that with others'.

While I use NVC tools in my psychotherapy practice along with other modalities, Individual Coaching Sessions are different.  We focus specifically on increasing your fluency with the NVC model as well as exploring the core principals that are part of a philosophical shift of NVC.  Philosophical shifts around shared power, freedom from "punishment and reward" conditioning and unlearning habits that focus on blaming or "fix it" communication habits that are so imbedded in our ways of relating.  

Coaching is more flexible around timing- it can be time limited to a few sessions targeting a specific issue or last years. Because coaching is not aimed at treating a diagnosis, it is less clinical, does not require HIPPA compliance and has more flexibility about dual relationships, although confidentiality is still upheld and discussed. While coaching can be deep and personal, the exploration of past trauma history is not the focus of coaching work.

I support select organizations in navigating through staff or leadership conflicts to  support cultural and relational shifts so that work cultures can operate with more understanding and empathy. Mediated dialogue between people in conflict can shift entrenched patterns, lead to team growth, morale improvements and increased creativity.  Please reach out for my client list.
