NewAccess Coaches

Coaches of the NewAccess for Small Business Owners program all have a small business background, allowing them to better understand the challenges small business owners may face.   

They are trained in Low-intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy by CBT Institute to help develop and guide participants through their tailored program.   

Low-intensity Cognitive Based Therapy is a structured, evidence based psychological treatment. Put simply, it allows us to recognise the way we think, act and feel.   

NewAccess for Small Business Owner coaches work alongside participants on a problem statement. Together they will develop an understanding of what is causing distress and then work on practical tools and strategies that can be used in day-to-day life. 

Coaches undertake twelve months of training, starting with a six-week intensive that moves to practical learning. This involves managing clients and an ongoing program under specialist clinical supervision.
