Coaching/Coaching Psychology Interest Group
Aspen Psychology Services hosts a free coaching/coaching psychology interest group specifically for Educational Psychologists, Trainee Educational Psychologists and Assistant Educational Psychologists (and a couple of people in other roles who have asked if they could join) who are interested in coaching/coaching psychology. The group gives EPs, TEPs and AEPs an opportunity to meet three times per academic year to practice, learn, reflect, share and plan re coaching and coaching psychology practice, tools and research.
No prior attendance, training or experience is required. All you need to bring is an interest in and/or enthusiasm for coaching/coaching psychology. Everything else will be scaffolded and supported.
If you wish to sign up for the group, simply complete the form below, and your name will be added to our mailing list with a marker to show that you would like to participate in the interest group. You will then receive updates about how to join future groups, and when new group dates are set each academic year.
