Coaching Psychology: A Practitioner's Guide takes an in-depth look at the applications and everyday challenges faced by real-world practitioners of coaching and mentoring psychology. Developed as a companion to The Psychology of Coaching, Mentoring and Learning, the practitioner’s guide delves more deeply into the applications of coaching and mentoring. This is the first book to harness the Universal Integrated Framework (UIF) for coaching and mentoring in a guide for practice, and is ideal for coaches, mentors, psychologists, and other professionals interested in this rapidly growing field.

Ho has written a thoughtful book integrating and drawing from his previous work in learning theory and narrative approaches. The result is a highly practical text that encourages practitioners to really think about what they are doing and build their own, robust framework of practice from an existential, enquiry based perspective. —Dr Alison Whybrow, Coach and Business Psychologist, London This insightful book provides a unified approach to coaching, coaching psychology and mentoring practice. An excellent overview to the field. —Professor Stephen Palmer, Centre for Coaching, London
