Self-Compassion Based Coaching
Self-Compassion Based Coaching is grounded in the core competencies of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and focuses on enhancing the coach’s emotional resilience, empathy capacity, ability to set healthy boundaries, and ability to establish a trusting and compassionate relationship with the client. It also supports the coach in integrating self-compassion practices naturally into coaching sessions.
Throughout the program, coaches go beyond simply recognizing self-compassion as a concept and learn how to make it an integral part of the coaching process.
Compassion and coaching are two powerful disciplines that leave a deep impact on a person’s inner journey. Both support individuals in discovering their potential and building a more meaningful connection with themselves and others.
While compassion embraces the inherent vulnerability and tenderness of being human, coaching empowers individuals to actively shape their own reality.
One of the key aims of the program is to help coaches support clients in developing inner balance and resilience through self-compassion practices during sessions, and to offer a “self-compassion toolkit” when needed. Coaches are also supported in helping clients integrate these practices into daily life.
This program provides coaches with a practical “self-compassion toolkit” including self-compassion exercises, inner practices, breathing techniques, and reflective inquiry methods. These tools support both clients and coaches in returning to their inner center before and after sessions.

What Is Self-Compassion Based Coaching?
Self-Compassion Based Coaching is a professional coaching program that integrates the core coaching competencies defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) with scientifically supported compassion and self-compassion approaches.
It brings compassion into both the coach’s presence and coaching sessions, as well as into the client’s personal process, creating a more grounded, supportive, and transformative coaching experience.
