Coaching in the Grey Space™
Coaching in the Grey Space explores the often unspoken territory where the boundaries between coaching and therapy begin to overlap. Grounded in my doctoral research and lived professional experience, the book is written primarily for coaches navigating ethical complexity, emotional depth, and uncertainty in their work with clients.
It offers a reflective, evidence-based lens on how boundaries are understood, negotiated, and held in practice—particularly when clients are experiencing stress, vulnerability, or personal transition. While the book is aimed at coaching practitioners, it may also be of interest to therapists, supervisors, educators, and others curious about how growth, healing, and professional responsibility intersect.
The book is available now, and I invite you to explore it as a companion to your own reflective practice. Purchase your copy here.

The Role of Coaching Psychology and Coaching in ‘The Grey Space’

Should ‘The Grey Space’ be Front of Mind for the Coaching Psychology and Coaching Community more so now due to COVID-19 Pandemic?
This article presents preliminary findings from research exploring the lived experiences of coaches and coaching psychologists navigating the boundaries of coaching and therapy when working with coachees on stress management and resilience; suggesting that these findings may inform and benefit practitioners during these precarious times of COVID-19 as we as practitioners may find ourselves in ‘the grey space’, where the boundaries between the therapeutic space and the coaching space become blurred.
