The Holistic Principle in Transformative Coaching

Coaching isn’t only a conversation with the mind — it invites attention to the whole person. In this video, Nick Bolton, founder of Animas Centre for Coaching, introduces the holistic principle within transformative coaching. This principle recognises that human experience is multi-dimensional and that meaningful reflection may involve thoughts, emotions, physical experience, and a broader sense of meaning. By taking a holistic perspective, coaching can explore how these different aspects of experience interact and influence how a person understands themselves and their situation.
