Psychodynamic Life Coach

"Deciding to enroll in the Psychodynamic Coach Academy (PCA) was, without a doubt, one of the top three best decisions I've ever made.

Transitioning from a completely different professional background, I had the privilege of experiencing the transformative power of psychodynamic coaching firsthand with Amanda, who embodies integrity, expertise, and unparalleled compassion.

PCA's unique approach offered a depth of learning and personal transformation I had not anticipated, expanding my understanding of coaching. It equipped me with a sophisticated framework and practical tools, unveiling a new realm of possibilities for facilitating lasting change.

Moreover, PCA exceeded all my expectations. It wasn't just a certification program; it was a transformative experience that significantly shifted how I perceive myself and my capacity to contribute to others' lives.

It has been a privilege to be part of an incredible group of coaches and to have been mentored by Amanda. I wholeheartedly recommend PCA to both new and experienced coaches."

Psychodynamic Life Coach

 "I started this course because I was interested in Jung's work and did not know where to start on my own. After a few modules I was really amazed by the depth of the knowledge provided and how we can really apply it in our lives.

With the coaching triads, I have got to know myself at a deeper level which helped me improve my ability to hold space for my clients to explore the depths of their psyche.

Overall this course has provided me with so many tools to use in sessions which boosted my level of confidence in providing better/deeper sessions".

Amy Watt

Career Coach

"I'm so glad I chose to invest in the Psychodynamic Coaching programme. As an established coach, it has brought my coaching to the next level, leaving me with a host of tools, techniques and theories that are super transformative and supportive for my clients.

With Amanda's support, I was able to pick up the new approaches and outlooks quickly and adapt them to my clients' needs. I also found the whole experience deeply and personally transformative.

My business has grown during the programme. In particular, I've had more success with my prospect calls and won more business as a result of excavating my own shadow.

I would really recommend this programme for coaches who are looking for something to give them the edge, make them braver, more compassionate and stronger people. The work is deep so you need to be ready to see all areas of your own life come under the microscope too, which is no bad thing!

Thanks Amanda, as ever your guidance and support has been powerful, intuitive and transformative".

Dr William Martin

Director & Associate Professor

"My decision to enroll in the Psychodynamic Coach Academy (PCA) was not an easy decision given a couple of less than favorable experiences with other coaching certification programs that appeared to be too canned, too prescriptive and inaccurate with regard to the science of human behavior change and absent a theoretical foundation of the coaching interventions. 

Given this reluctance, I took a risk to enroll in PCA and I am glad I challenged myself to do so for the following reasons:

First, the academy sits on a strong theoretical and evidence-based foundation.

Second, the design of the academy represents a nice blend of didactic and experiential learning.

Third, beyond acquiring knowledge and learning new skills, Amanda is gifted in creating a community among the academy participants and also working with us to increase our confidence and self-efficacy not just with how to apply the knowledge or when to use the skills but also with regard to our identity as coaches as well as the business aspects of coaching.

Finally, I was delighted to know that Amanda is attentive to ethics because for me this is critical for any coach to serve others in a way that first minimizes any harm but also maximizes the benefit for the client and those that they serve. 

In closing, if you are interested in developing yourself as a coach or even further developing yourself as an authentic person then PCA will no doubt be the right place for you."

Katya Vashchankova

Leadership Coach

"Having obtained several coaching certifications before enrolling in PCA, I was drawn to its structured approach to understanding the psyche at a deep level, and its holistic method of working with the mind, body, and emotions. This goes beyond the superficial mindset work offered by other coaching methodologies.

The program has far exceeded my expectations. The tools provided are simple yet profoundly transformative. I have gained a deeper understanding of the structure of the psyche, learned to recognize the voices of my ego, and integrated the shadow parts emerging within me. These tools are a great support to living a life that is aligned with my true unique nature.  I can now also identify these dynamics in my clients and address the root causes of their issues, facilitating real transformation.

I especially appreciate the integration of transcendental and spiritual aspects into the coaching process and PCA philosophy, making them accessible to various types of clients. Working primarily with corporate leaders and executives, these tools provide me with a unique edge and a deeper level of insight compared to most coaches in the corporate space.

I cannot recommend this program enough for anyone ready to understand human nature on a deeper level and master tools that offer genuine transformation, ultimately becoming their true authentic self."

Relationship Coach

"The Psychodynamic Coach Academy helped me to construct a path that I always had in my imagination. But I didn't know it had the possibility to exist in reality. The PCA made me realize that I have the power to create transformational results for myself AND my clients. It is the best thing that's happened to me in a really long time"!

Milli Moonstone

Sensuality Coach & Retreat Owner

"I learned and received a lot from the Psychodynamic Coach Academy.  It is a well-rounded mix of information and context along with powerful practices that are applicable for different types of people. This has given me solid foundations and depth of understanding from which to dive into the unknown with clients. 

This training  brought a lot of understanding about what shadow work actually is, and how I as a coach can help to guide clients into bringing conscious awareness and light to what is subconsciously limiting or affecting their life.

I’ve found that incorporating this understanding, tools and practices into my work with clients, in both individual and group settings, has opened up profound levels of inner and outer transformation for them. Thank you!"

"The positive results speak for themselves. Psychodynamic coaching is helping my clients get unstuck, find themselves, grow in confidence, and feel good about life again. This is powerful stuff!

I can’t recommend the Psychodynamic Coach Academy highly enough! Amanda is a fantastic coach and mentor to guide you on a journey back to yourself and coach others to do the same”.

~ Tanielle 

"The puzzle pieces on my coaching journey have come together! Thank you so much for your mentorship and for this program. I am excited to bring this work to others in my coaching business".

~ Christie 

"A lot of the coaching world just scratches the surface of the mind and mental patterns. I believe to really create powerful and lasting results, it is necessary to dive into the subconscious mind, body and repressed emotions.  The Psychodynamic Coach Training beautifully weaves a variety of potent practices that empower potential coaches to work at much deeper layers both within themselves and with others. It is a well thought-out and expertly offered program that will invite you and those you work with into deeper levels of awareness and transformation. Thank you Amanda!"

I have learned so much, in a supportive and intimate environment where I felt so supported.  Equally, I gained a transformative skillset to bring forward into my coaching business - tools that guarantee success for my clients at the deepest level. I am so grateful for the PCA. Thank you Amanda and keep doing what you're doing. The world needs this right now, ethical coaching."

"Amanda and the PCA has opened up the world of coaching for me as a coach, as well as the depths of self-discovery. The PCA offers a wonderful framework, practical tools, and communication throughout the program which has enabled me to build strong foundations as a coach. I could not recommend the PCA highly enough. It is the program for anyone wanting to go really deep in making change, for both themselves and their clients. Thank you Amanda!"

~ Erika 

"After 16 weeks in the PCA my inner life has done a complete 180 - I feel far more empowered and prepared to support myself and others than I could have imagined. I am so grateful to Amanda for her generosity, support and her wholehearted acceptance. Her genius way of structuring the course and explaining abstract concepts and tools in a simple way was so valuable. I went in with a hopeful expectation of doing inner work and learning to be a helpful psychodynamic coach and I came out with even more than I could ever realise.  I discovered the content to be incredibly powerful for inner discovery and transformation. I had the space to grow and bloom in this container and I now look forward to what the future holds. Thank you Amanda!"

~ Kareen 

"I joined the PCA with a strong sense of my commitment to journeying alongside others as they explore their inner landscape. I also joined with huge knowledge gaps on how I could do this effectively. Amanda has designed a program that both affirmed my intuitive sensibilities for this work, and gave me a proper training ground to launch my coaching career. I would sign up for this course again and again. I believe I have only scratched the surface of the value that the PCA will continue to offer me. "
