Professional Coaching Standards

At U Coaching, our work is grounded in internationally recognised coaching best practice. Our coaching approach aligns with the standards and core competencies defined by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the world’s leading professional body for coaches.

Working with a coach who follows ICF standards ensures:

  • A clearly structured and professional coaching relationship
  • Confidential, ethical practice
  • A client-centred approach focused on your goals
  • Deep listening and powerful questioning
  • Measurable progress and accountability

Our coaching reflects the ICF Core Competencies, including:

  • Demonstrating ethical practice
  • Establishing and maintaining agreements
  • Cultivating trust and psychological safety
  • Maintaining coaching presence
  • Active listening
  • Evoking awareness
  • Facilitating client growth

These principles ensure that coaching is not advice-giving or mentoring – it is a structured, thought-provoking partnership designed to unlock your potential.

Our Governance Philosophy

Clear standards create clarity of expectation. Clarity creates trust. Trust enables transformation. U Coaching is committed to stewarding each client relationship with integrity, professionalism and care.
