Abstract
This paper aims to describe a model for cognitive behavioural team coaching (CBTC), derived from existing cognitive behavioural theories and individual coaching models. In an organisational context coaching a team to increase well-being, instead of separate individuals, would appear on face value to be more effective. However, it is appropriate to explore what the existing literature can tell us about team coaching, well-being and stress as well as the possible relationships between these areas. There also seems to be a need for clarification of the term ‘team coaching’, so it can be differentiated from other team activities and this is a theme that will be explored in this paper.
A proposed pilot study is also described, aiming to investigate if CBTC can increase well-being and lessen strain among team members in an organisational setting by using an individual CBC model adapted to team conditions.
