Ever wondered what it really looks like to hold safe, structured, and powerful space for emotions in a coaching session?

In this episode we did something we’ve not done in a long time on the podcast, we brought you inside a real-life coaching demonstration, using one of the techniques from our Emotions Coaching Practitioner Programme.

The session is a genuine conversation between us, non-scripted, not rehearsed. Just Jo as the coachee, working through a very real, emotionally loaded decision: whether or not to say yes to buying a new home.

We use the EMOTION coaching model, a semi-structured framework that walks through:

E — Engaging the emotional coaching contract
M — Making contact (somatic/emotional awareness)
O — Exploring the opportunity
T — Connecting with thoughts
I — Exploring intuition
O — Outcomes
N — What’s needed now

This demo is about more than just the house. It’s a window into how emotion-based coaching can support real-life decision-making, personal growth, and clarity, without pressure or prescription.

If you found this demo insightful, whether as a coach or as someone exploring their own emotions check out our Emotions Coaching Practitioner Programme. You’ll learn how to safely support clients through deep, meaningful conversations, using structure without script.
