1. Does Systemic Coaching differ from therapy or consulting?

Therapists review your past to offer advice about present problems. A Soulwork Coach offers little advice; instead coaching you to explore what you really want and how to get it.

Religious counseling may guide you to have faith and follow rules. Relationship Coaching coaches you to act with integrity - appropriate to your circumstances.

Systemic Coaching focuses on your concrete goals AND on long term consequences. This reduces the possibility of dependence between clients and coaches. Between sessions, a client feels generally better than before coaching. Partners are included, through information or couple coaching. Soulwork focuses on improving ALL relationships.

A Soulwork Coach is a Stretch - not a Shrink! Therapists often address isolated issues. Soulwork coaches you to connect and make right all parts of your life. Your happiness and suffering, your health and your sickness, reflect your lifestyle and relationship habits.

Consultants use their experience to give you advice about specific problems. They are expected to analyze problems and supply detailed solutions for resolving them. They gather facts to support proposals and may implement their proposals in direct intervention.

All parts of your life are connected. Dull jobs or joyful careers are by-products of your life, as are depression or happiness. Soulwork integrates cognitive thinking, emotional feeling and human relating to help you achieve your goals. A Soulwork Coach coaches you to define your goals, and to find and use your resources.

Systemic Coaching is preventative and remedial. It is as practical as any coaching and as deep as any psychotherapy. It offers clarity and strategies for people who cannot cope with life challenges - Soulwork is truly a luxury!

Theoretical explanations and short-term symptom alleviation are easy to produce, and this is all that many therapists offer. Systemic Coaching focuses on your long-term goals, your success. Soulwork coaches you to recognize, accept and dissolve whatever blocks you from your success, through your ups and downs of life, towards your chosen goals. When you attain your goals – that is YOUR success - not ours!


2. What does Soulwork offer ME?

Soulwork Systemic Coaching offers systemic reorientation for individuals, partners, teams and families. We can coach you to:

  •  Clarify your relationships and resolve guilt
  •  Define your success and dissolve conflicts
  •  Find integrity and avoid symptoms of disintegration
  •  Dissolve or control mental and relationship disease symptoms
  •  Transform your limiting beliefs into freedom
  •  Transform your trauma into motivation
  •  Build lifelong inspiration and your "sense of life"

Soulwork coaches you to reach your goals, while exploring your motivation, your inspiration and the consequences of your decisions. Some learn Soulwork for pleasure, some to enhance their knowledge and careers, and some want to change career to become a professional coach.

Systemic Coaching is not hypnosis, psychoanalysis, new age nor NLP. We offer no cognitive, esoteric or intuitive fixes! Instead we offer you warm human contact and an integrated approach to your development. We gently and firmly help you sort out your most entangled relationships and we can provocatively support you to use your personal genius. We can coach you to define and achieve your goals using both your conscious and unconscious resources, and we can coach you to fulfill your chosen responsibilities.

We offer you coaching and mentorship. We offer you professional training in Soulwork Systemic Coaching - and we offer a series of experiences of transformation.


3. What happens during Relationship Coaching sessions?

A coach normally arranges face-to-face meetings with you and may offer to coach you on some topics by email, telephone or internet chat. A personal Soulwork session typically lasts one or two hours. Although many people achieve significant results in a few hours, long-term resolution of typical complaints require between 10 and 50 hours coaching, with an "average" time of about 24 hours. Soulwork Systemic Coaching can be in a session or two each week or on whole days dedicated to you.

You can visit a coach, or bring a coach to you. This is often cost-effective for coaching families, teams or people who cannot travel.

Start by comparing your desires and deadlines with your coach's time and skills, with brief goal and relationship diagnosis. You commit to honesty and to clarifying your issues. Your coach will commit to exploring ways for you to fulfill your goals. You and your coach work together to find and build your success in your relationships, career, finances etc. (Many Soulwork Coaches specialize in certain relationships or in certain symptoms. Many Soulwork Coaches are medical doctors, psychologists, professors and other professionals.)

Chronic medical or emotional symptoms may be connected to depression, addictions, obsessions, psychosomatic reactions and other relationship problems. Dissolving your symptoms helps you recover your lost or forgotten qualities, and provides you with resources and strategies for your success and other life challenges.

We explore your goals, their consequences and any hesitations that you may have about your goals. We help you use your objections to enrich and define your goals. (Objections often expose partnership issues, which we can resolve in couple coaching.)

Soulwork sessions end with a review of your accomplishments and steps that you agree to take. In subsequent sessions we help you review your steps and your results.

Soulwork is faster for young people and for people with clear relationships. It is faster for people who have solid long-term goals and high motivation to reach them. Soulwork is faster for people who start coaching before symptoms become degenerative or addictive.


4. How can Soulwork help me personally?

Your success is limited or inspired by your relationships! If you feel that one or more of your relationships are somehow wrong, or that your life should be happier or that you want to create your life differently, then Soulwork Systemic Coaching can help you. However – YOU must be accountable for your actions and your responsibilities. Happiness is reserved for people who choose to live their own lives.

Your long term success requires clear relationships, fulfilling lives, and concrete, meaningful goals. Symptoms provide a barometer – a tool for measuring disturbance in your life. If you have severe mental instability or severe physical symptoms; get clinical evaluation and treatment before Soulwork Systemic Coaching. Soulwork Training is for mature and emotionally stable people. It is not for the irresponsible and immature.

For your long-term success, Soulwork helps you dissolve or control your mental, emotional and physical symptoms. This helps you recover your life energy and provides ongoing direction and motivation for you to define and fulfill your life goals.

5. How can Soulwork help my relationships?

Your success in enjoying relationships usually requires your honesty, candor, humor and responsibility. Your family traditions, your history and your role models limit or inspire your relationship behavior! If you cannot find peace and clarity as a family member, as a friend, as a team member, as a partner or as a parent, then Relationship Coaching can help you.

Generally, Soulwork does not solve your problems. That's a role for social workers. Nor is Soulwork authoritative about why people have problems. That's for psychologists. Nor do we manage emotions with medication. That's for psychiatrists. Nor endless philosophy - that's for gurus Soulwork solves whatever stops you solving your own problems.

Are you willing to accept your family traditions, your past actions, your disease symptoms and your relationship responsibilities. After accepting them - you can change them!

6. How can Soulwork help my career?

Career success usually requires relationship skills. Regardless of your knowledge or expertise, without relationship skills, you may find yourself alienated by your colleagues and passed over in promotions. If company policies, your career history and / or your role models limit your professional development, then Relationship Coaching can help you.

However – you must be motivated to change, which may require that you dissolve old bonds and trauma, learn new skills and find inspirational mentors.

[ Top . Resources for executives, managers and leaders ]


7. How can Soulwork help my organization?

Organizations may succeed despite internal chaos. CEOs, owners, founders and managers often create management and relationship structures that represent or replace their families. This structure "feels right" regardless of its effectiveness. Many "Corporate Cultures" have similar qualities to cults. The stress can destroy both corporate and individual health.

If you perceive that you and your colleagues can achieve much more with improved relationship skills, then Relationship Coaching can coach you use team and leadership skills, while coaching your organization improve management skills.

8. How can I find a Soulwork Coach?

To benefit from Soulwork, email us for names of Soulwork Coaches in various social and ethnic backgrounds. Soulwork coaches include medical doctors, lawyers, psychologists, artists, teachers, wilderness trainers, business people and other professionals. Together or apart, we offer a wide range of coaching skills.

Soulwork coaching also includes skills in parenting, grand-parenting and family problems ranging from adoption issues to zany behavior.

A Soulwork coach can explore your needs and your resources. A Soulwork Coach may offer free first email sessions or telephone sessions so that you can explore the first step of Soulwork at our expense and risk. Mention your city and goals, and we will suggest a coach.

[ Top . Email Coaching ]


9. Can I become a Soulwork Coach?

We accept emotionally stable, friendly people. We strive to make each class a cross-cultural experience, to enrich all our perceptions with the diversity of your experience.

Your attitude is more important than your education! Do you finish what you start? Are you determined, committed, and willing to learn? Are you friendly and co-operative? Are you self-controlled - can you "stay adult" in stressful situations?

Some successful coaches have few academic qualifications and some have advanced university degrees. All have a talent for friendly, supportive communication. If you are more interested in people than in things, you are ready. If you also want to offer an essential community service, you are nearly here.

Soulwork training will open your Pandora's Box. We first help you gain a basic understanding of your relationships. Soulwork training is demanding, but not difficult. Our strongest request may be for you to accept the world-as-it-is, and to recognize what can be changed; rather than clinging to victim-like or egoistic illusions. Each step of changework is repeatedly demonstrated (and, where possible, demonstrated with people who do not know what to expect) and each step is practiced and experienced.

You can learn very quickly this way.

10. Where did Soulwork Systemic Coaching come from?

Martyn Carruthers developed an overall philosophy for change, with unique and innovative techniques and training programs, starting in 1988. He integrated his background in emergency management and adult education with accelerated learning, systemic family therapy, consulting, expert modeling and success coaching. He first applied this synthesis to help people learn more efficiently. Later, he applied it to accelerate the healing of emotional complaints and physical symptoms.

This lead to a practical understanding of the inter-connections between mental, emotional and physical disease, emotions and the challenges of relationships.

Soulwork Systemic Coaching offers skills that have been fine-tuned during hundreds of sessions. During these sessions we explored the basis of long-term and short-term change. We learned to quickly recognize and effectively resolve relationship issues and their effects, including learning disabilities, depression, obsessions, addictions, chaotic families, psychosomatic disease and stressful work relationships.

Soulwork is both preventative and remedial. It helps predict and prevent your potential mental, physical and relationship disease, and it offers ways for you to control your symptoms. Soulwork offers proven strategies that can help you cope with life challenges, and accelerate happiness and success.

Martyn Carruthers continues to develop and refine Relationship Coaching, and to increase its efficiency in relationship management, strategic planning and organizational development.

Goals & Outcomes

A coach may ask "What do you want?" as if you know all your available choices and their consequences. Many therapists assume that they know your goals better than you do. They may even say, "I will tell you what you want!"

Some coaches enquire into your situation and offer you choices from which you can choose your solution. An example: "Do you already know what you want; or do you want to explore what possibilities exist; or do you want some guidance through life until you can find your own way?"

Systemic coaching agreements help clients define their goals, and tests for success.

Systemic Coach Training

Coach people to gain clarity, dissolve success and relationship issues, and understand what makes sense in life. Help people build success and quality relationships. You can help people fulfill their dreams.

We describe each step and how it fits into the overall model. You experience what is desirable and appropriate. We demonstrate it and coach you to duplicate those skills. We discuss what happened and what could happen. You can learn very quickly this way.
