Recognised ILM Provider

Welcome to Clean Coaching

Clean Language was developed in the 1980s by David Grove to alleviate traumatic memories, by repeating a client's words back and asking a series of questions which would elicit metaphors and develop them with the least possible influence from the practitioner. David discovered that when people describe their experiences in metaphor they can move through a traumatic memory and resolve the effects more quickly and easily than by conventional therapeutic methods.

David went on to explore spatial remedies, literally moving clients around to gain insight from different perspectives, and in 2005 developed Emergent Knowledge (EK), based on Clean Language, metaphor, spatial questioning and the new science of Emergence. He worked with Carol Wilson, co-founding the "Clean Coaching with EK" training programme to translate his techniques into methods that can be used safely by coaches and other practitioners with no training in therapy.

For 25 years David's work has been breaking new frontiers and coaches have found his techniques effective in reducing blocks and phobias that hold their clients back. Clean techniques bear similarities to coaching in that they are 100% client led and make frequent use of the practice of reflecting back clients’ words.

David passed away in January '08 and Carol continues his work with our Chief Course Director, Angela Dunbar, a qualified Clean Language practitioner who also delivers Clean Language training at Oxford Brookes University.
