COACHING VS. PSYCHOTHERAPY CONSULTATION

How to deal with signs of mental health distress in your coaching clients

If you feel your client is in imminent danger of seriously harming himself/herself as well as another person, please contact your local police or emergency services immediately.

Are you concerned about your client's mental state and would like guidance on how to best help them?

A significant and important element to our training as certified coaches is recognizing when it is time to refer a client to a mental health professional. Making this decision can be challenging especially when you are not sure how to interpret a pattern of behaviors you are noticing in your client. If you are concerned about a client and would like guidance on how best to help your client, you can schedule a call with Dr. Mirella De Civita. She is a Clinical Research Psychologist having earned a Ph.D. from l’Université de Montreal and a licensed Psychotherapist in the province of Quebec.

She possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience as a Health Psychologist having worked in behavioral medicine as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Clinical Epidemiology at McGill University.

She is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coach Federation (ICF), a Master Corporate Executive Coach with the MEECO Leadership Institute (USA), and a Certified Mentor Coach (InviteChange, USA).

Her extensive training and experience span the range of bipolar and related disorders; personality disorders, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, substance-related and addictive disorders, disruptive, impulse-control & conduct disorders, and obsessive-compulsive in children, adolescents, and adults. If you feel your client is in imminent danger of seriously harming himself/herself as well as another person, please contact your local police or emergency services immediately.

This private consultation session will enable you to:

  • Prepare mindfully on how best to help your client seek mental health support
  • Better interpret a pattern of behaviours that points to mental distress
  • Make the decision to contact emergency services if needed
  • Refer a client to mental health professional
  • Partner with a mental health professional in helping your client continue their coaching journey

NOTE: If you don’t find an available time that suits you please contact us and we will work with you to find a suitable date and time.

As coaches we have a duty and responsibility to work within our competencies and to hold with compassion conversations with clients that demonstrate signs of a mental health condition. You don’t need to be an expert. You simply need to know how to recognize them and make the referral.
