The foundation of our working practice and the principles through which we carry out our work are founded in the belief that all human beings have the inner resources and ability to identify and achieve their goals and have a desire to be happy and prosperous and want to be useful.

Our belief system is founded in the ‘Person-Centred Psychotherapeutic approach developed by ‘Carl Rogers’. This belief system recognises that human beings are basically rational, socialized, forward moving, creative and realistic and that we all strive to be secure, accepted, loved and respected. This state of being is however often interrupted when human beings are under threat, in pain, in emotional distress or when in a relationship or situation where a person or group is experiencing prejudice and discrimination. It is within this context that human beings become antisocial and hostile and are unable to think clearly or react rationally. It is also within this context that human beings are unable to learn, develop, be forward moving or creative.

RYL is therefore fully committed to providing learning environments or one to one relationships with its clients that are respectful and conducive to positive change. Our belief and value systems are also committed to the foundations of coaching practice which is reflected in the provision of our professional coaching training, practices and services.

We are also fully committed to respecting and believing in our clients right to self direction and we fully value the worth and significance of those with whom we work and trust in our clients ability to develop their full potential.
