A Coaching Course Like No Other
This course gives you everything you need to integrate the Thinking Environment into your coaching practice. You’ll explore the Spectrum of Independence, discovering where and how Time to Think can deepen your work, offering natural, tangible ways of coaching that feel both grounded and expansive.
After completing the course, you’ll undertake a Practicum under the supervision of Sophie, a Time to Think Faculty member. Upon completion, you’ll become a Time to Think Coach, gaining membership in the Time to Think Collegiate—a global community where you can continue learning, refining, and expanding your practice through faculty-led collegiate meetings.
Making Space for Deep Learning
To get the most from this course, you’ll need to allocate at least 1.5 to 2 hours between Days 3 and 4 for reflection and integration. This time allows you to deepen your understanding, absorb what you’ve learned, and bring richer insights into your practice.
Coaching as a Way of Being
Before you book, I want to share how I see Coaching. Because even though I coach, supervise, and qualify coaches—I don’t see Coaching as something I do.
Coaching, to me, is a way of being.
It’s about listening—not just hearing, but listening in a way that is transformative, generative, and deeply human. It’s about holding space for another’s unfolding, being comfortable with uncertainty, and replacing assumptions with curiosity. It’s a practice of unlearning—of setting aside the conventional approaches to conversation, problem-solving, and achieving outcomes.
This is Coaching that is radically different, radically relational, and radically beautiful.
Thinking Environment Coaching will ask you to reflect on what Coaching truly is—and what legacy you want to leave behind when your sessions come to an end.
“This course is not for the faint hearted – it is demanding regardless of whether or not you decide to complete the practicum because, quite rightly, it challenges you (in a supportive way) to hone your skills in using and embracing the Thinking Environment and it’s Ten components both as a practitioner and coach. However, it is well worth it and throughout you are supported by Sophie who is a skilled, compassionate and highly intelligent teacher who embodies the ten components in all that she does by providing the right environment; managing to meet all of our physical and emotional needs whilst guiding us through the course.
If you are already a coach, as I was, and really want to embody the Time to Think philosophy into your coaching practice, then I would really recommend that you complete the practicum following the course. It provides both rigour and quality assurance for you and your clients in the concepts, theory and practice and Sophie will guide you; both challenging your thinking and encouraging you with respect and equality. If you are not already a coach and want to undertake this course to develop coaching skills, then I can’t think of a better way to embark on what will become a life changing experience. Sophie is a gifted teacher who whose approach exemplifies what Time to Think Coaching is all about. It’s not just a job for her but a way of life and that shows in all she does and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.”

This process helped me to stretch into my learning edge developing my practice at my pace with ease and a sense of joyful discovery that I’ve never experienced in any other learning or training environment.
The course has made me feel confident in my abilities and given me a way to truly help those I coach by enabling them to do their best thinking.
The courses enabled me to fully experience a 'thinking environment' and therefore appreciate how powerful having quality time to think really is.
I would definitely recommend the course - it’s the start of a journey of exploration for yourself and transformation and the power of the Thinking Environment.
Thank you SO much Sophie, I can honestly say this course had been life changing.
Jump in with both feet, give yourself over to the course and to the experience, be prepared to be vulnerable as that will give you so much value and insight into thinking for yourself and how thinking for yourself can change the lives of the people you interact with
Thank you for this amazing opportunity and your phenomenal ability to run, facilitate and teach a fantastic course with such ease and sincerity. It will be a journey I will not forget .
I would highly recommend Sophie herself, and this course for anyone who wishes to improve their own thinking skills and enhance their coaching style. Sophie has a very relaxed way of delivering the course, and whilst you will learn about each of the elements it is more about a way of being with yourself and those around you. I have also found that the 10 components provide a useful lens through which to view many situations, and provide insightful reflection.
I couldn’t recommend the course more highly. Whether you are an experienced coach practitioner or someone starting their coaching journey, the course will start where you start and gently challenge you to think for yourself and create beautiful Thinking Environments for others.
The thinking, the practice, Sophie’s guidance and teaching on the Time to Think Coach course, were all critical success factors that have helped me to further develop my coaching skills.
The best thing about the course was being given the chance to be really listened to and learning the components that the Thinking Environment gives. Also understanding how powerful the words used in the process are. Don't hesitate to attend this course with Sophie!
The Thinking Environment seems to me to be the pinnacle of coaching approaches and I would encourage anyone, however experienced a coach or not, to see how powerful thinking for oneself can be.
Sophie is both nurturing and challenging, demanding a high standard in the Practicum work whilst providing lots of support through to its conclusion. If you’re looking to stretch your challenge yourself as a coach, the coaching course is well worth the investment.
