Findings suggest that trust is of paramount importance and this enables both a level of psychological depth and challenge by the coach. Trust is created by both the person of the coach (specifically the level of empathy, listening, a non-judgemental attitude and congruence) and the person of the client (and specifically client readiness for change).
