Simon Cavicchia Metanoia Institute

Simon Cavicchia divides his time between teaching, working as a psychotherapist and supervisor and as an executive coach and consultant to leadership teams in public and private sector organisations.  He has held teaching roles at Metanoia Institute where he was primary tutor on the Gestalt psychotherapy programme and Joint Programme Leader for the Masters in Coaching Psychology.  He is currently a member of faculty on the Masters in Executive coaching at Ashridge Hult Business School, UK.   He has published a number of papers on relational coaching, and co-authored The Theory and Practice of Relational Coaching - Complexity, Paradox and Integration (Routledge, 2018) with Maria Gilbert.  In all his work Simon is interested in exploring the centrality of human relationships in how individuals experience themselves, think and behave together.  He is particularly interested in the role shame plays in inhibiting human connection and collaboration and how to reduce shame in order to create conditions for creative and meaningful relationships.
