Overview

Collage as a Creative Coaching Tool is a stimulating and informative resource introducing the Collage Coaching Technique™. This three-stage creative process unlocks unconscious thinking, enabling profound psychological insight through a deeper and faster exploration of emotions and behaviours. Equipped with this awareness, clients are empowered to create meaningful and sustainable change. Emphasis is on the qualities inherent in collage creation that allow clients to reconstruct their internal narrative and move forward purposefully and effectively. Essentially, by disassembling, disrupting, questioning, reassembling, and visualising their thoughts and emotions externally. Case studies, client reflections, and Andréa's experiences feature throughout, illustrating and enriching the theory. The content includes detailed guidance on creating a safe space for coaching creatively, applying Clean Language, coaching with collage online, and engaging groups in arts-based coaching. Through this comprehensive resource, the case for integrating collage in coaching and psychology is irrefutable. It is inspirational and essential reading for anyone starting, reviewing, or deepening their creative coaching journey.

Reviews

This book is an informative, well researched and evidence-based resource for coaches wishing to incorporate the power of collage into their approach. Having seen and experienced it in action, Andrea Watts innovative, considered and thorough approach is second to none. It speaks to Andrea's generosity that she has been willing to demystify and codify the process for all within the pages of this great read. This book, its approach and wisdom will help to transform your approach with working with clients, helping you and they to reach full potential. Jenny Garrett, OBE, is an Award-Winning Career Coach, Leadership Trainer, Speaker & Author CCT offers coaches a new approach for fostering creativity within coaching sessions. Drawing on art therapy and the potential to explore both the conscious and unconscious representations we hold as individuals, the technique can be a powerful addition to unleashing the creative potential within clients through collage, story and wider art-based methods Prof Jonathan Passmore, Director Henley Centre for Coaching, Henley Business School A must read for coaches looking to engage in more creative techniques. Andrea captures the essence of art-based methods and their impact on the coaching process, whilst drawing on personal experience, client feedback, and a wealth of scientific evidence. The chapter of storytelling really gets to the crux of why collage is such a powerful tool in a coach's toolkit. Andrea highlights that By circumnavigating external influences, editing and fact-checking, their collage represents an honest, outer expression of their internal processing and the resulting sense of self - and in using images, as is explained in the chapter Coaching with collage , gets the client out of their usual mode of thinking to enable a deeper insight into their unconscious. For me, the best thing about the way this book is written is that although it is not designed to be a guide as to how to integrate collage into coaching, in explaining the process and underlying science, Andrea also shares so much of her own expertise and client's experiences with the CCT, that you get a real feel for how this would work in your own coaching practice.
