Practitioners use performance principles and relational strategies to foster deep connections, support emotional intimacy, and encourage participants to create new life possibilities through collaborative efforts. This approach integrates emotional wellness and community-oriented methodologies, making it adaptable and effective in diverse coaching contexts.

Why the World Needs Social Therapeutic Coaching
Like coaching, social therapeutics was developed in the 1980s as an out-of-the-box, cross-disciplinary alternative to the traditional therapy. Since then, tens of thousands of social therapeutic group, family, and couples sessions have taken place worldwide.
Social therapeutics and coaching share
three essential core competencies:
Co-Creation: commitment to collaborative building
Emergent Growth: focus on what’s emerging
Transformation: emphasis on growth and change
Social therapeutics adds a unique lens of seeing and relating to groups (families, couples, teams), embodying emotional growth, emotional elasticity and relational awareness. In order to seriously address the loneliness crisis and widespread social anxiety—not to mention life’s everyday challenges and enhanced well-being—group-based emotional workouts are needed now more than ever.
When clients build up their emotional and relational muscles together, they grow and transform their lives, rather than be passive victims of an increasingly isolated, uncertain and destabilized world.
Increasing numbers of coaches seek to combine a sustainable business model with an innovative practice. More clients desire to experience belonging and community in their journey to become their best selves. Social therapeutic coaching groups unite these two needs and empower clients to become creators, with others, of their lives, their relationships, their families and teams.
The Book on Social Therapeutic Coaching
Social Therapeutic Coaching:
A Practical Guide to Group and Couples Work
Social Therapeutic Coaching: A Practical Guide to Group and Couples Work by Carrie Sackett and Murray Dabby introduces four key concepts and fourteen competencies of the method. The second half dives into what a coach might say and do as well as provides over two dozen practical examples of group and couples work.
The reader will likely see connections in social therapeutics with how they already practice and also feel challenged to stretch into new ways of speaking, feeling, doing and seeing.
