Abstract/Summary

This is the first in a series of papers to look at mindfulness coaching as an approach suitable for use with coaching clients. This paper presents a brief overview of mindfulness for readers who are less familiar with the approach and highlights other sources for a fuller account of mindfulness coaching. The paper sets the scene for a subsequent series of papers in this and future issues of The Coaching Psychologist Techniques Section. Each of these subsequent techniques papers presents a short description of a technique grounded in mindfulness that can be used with clients.
