The Impermanent Human: Grief Works

A Professional Training for Coaches

ICF-Accredited Grief Coach Training

The Impermanent Human: Grief Works

Do you want to…

  • confidently support clients who are navigating loss and grief?
  • support your clients ethically while maintaining a clear boundary between coaching and therapy?
  • develop practical grief coaching skills while deepening your coaching presence and confidence?

If yes, this training is for you.

What will you be able to do differently?

After completing the training, you’ll be better equipped to:

  • recognise and understand grief when it enters the coaching conversation
  • stay present with difficult emotions without rushing to fix or minimise them
  • work with identity, meaning and continuing bonds after loss
  • use practical approaches to support emotional regulation
  • recognise when grief is within your coaching scope — and when referral is appropriate
  • talk about grief with greater confidence, sensitivity and ethical clarity

What does it include?

Across six immersive sessions, you will explore:

  • 1
    Foundations of Grief
    Contemporary grief theory, adaptive processes, oscillation, identity reorganisation and ethical boundaries.
  • 2
    Narrative & Identity
    Story reconstruction, continuing bonds and the Hello Again principle in post-loss identity work.
  • 3
    Meaning Making
    Meaning reconstruction, existential shifts and values-based integration after loss.
  • 4
    Impermanence & Cultural Lenses on Grief
    Change, non-attachment and compassionate presence — without spiritual bypassing — alongside cultural aspects of grief and the ways grief is experienced and expressed across cultures.
  • 5
    Nervous System & Emotional Regulation
    Window of tolerance, titration, pendulation and trauma-informed grief coaching.
  • 6
    Integration & Professional Practice
    Case application, scope of practice, referral clarity and building an ethical grief coaching offer.

This course is about learning how to accompany loss with maturity, skill and presence.

You will leave with a clear integrative framework, practical tools and greater confidence to work responsibly with one of the most complex aspects of the human experience.

The programme is approved by the International Coaching Federation for 12 CCEs: 9 Core Competency and 3 Resource Development.
