Research-Based Coaching Approaches and Methodologies
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client-centered, goal-oriented method of intervention that helps clients explore and resolve ambivalence about change. A coaching session using MI will be focused on helping the client to discover their own internal motivation to make changes in their life. The coach and client work together to identify areas of ambivalence and develop strategies to move forward.
DBT Coaching
A DBT coaching session will involve exploring the client's current situation and goals as well as developing new coping skills for managing emotions and learning how to effectively communicate with others. The coach will provide guidance, support, and direction as the client works towards their goals.
ACT Coaching
In a coaching session based on ACT, the coach will help the client to identify their values and how they align with these experiences. The coach will also provide guidance on how to focus on taking action towards living according to their values.
DBT Skills Coaching
A coaching session with DBT can look like a guided journey toward self-discovery and growth. Research shows that DBT coaching combines mindfulness, acceptance, and effective coping strategies to address body image struggles and disordered eating. Through exploring thought patterns and beliefs, clients learn to challenge negative thinking and cultivate healthier alternatives.
Overall coaching sessions and the coaching program includes taking an eclectic approach. These are research-based principles that have been proven to help individuals overcome body image and disordered eating.

A coaching mini session is a great way to get started on your journey to body confidence. During the session, you can expect to be asked a series of questions about your relationship with your body and how you would like to improve it. The coach will also likely give you some homework to help you get started on making positive changes. For example, you may be asked to keep a food diary or to start an exercise routine. The important thing is that you come away from the session feeling motivated and excited about making changes. With the right support, you can absolutely achieve the body confidence of your dreams.
Should I Work on My Own, or Work with a Coach?
When it comes to personal development, there are two main options: brief coaching or a self-paced program. Depending on your needs and learning style, either option can be beneficial. Brief coaching provides personalized support and accountability to help meet specific goals. With self-paced programs, you have more control over the material and pacing. The right choice will depend on your individual preferences and objectives. If you are unsure, book a 15-minute consultation, it’s free!
