What to expect in an Intuitive Psychology Coaching session: A Comprehensive Guide

If you are curious about Intuitive Psychology Coaching, you might be wondering what actually happens in a session, how it feels, and whether it is the right fit for you.

Here is the simple answer.

An Intuitive Psychology Coaching session is a structured, gentle and deeply focused conversation that combines nervous system regulation, subconscious work and highly practical coaching. Together we create a safe space, explore what is really going on beneath the surface, use specific techniques to work with your subconscious mind, and then translate your insights into grounded actions for your life and business.

Below I will walk you through what that looks like step by step, so your body and mind know exactly what to expect.

What is Intuitive Psychology Coaching?

Intuitive Psychology Coaching blends three core elements:

• Evidence informed psychology and coaching frameworks

• Subconscious and somatic work that speaks directly to your inner world

• Intuition as a reliable inner guidance system for decisions, leadership and life

In practice, this means I bring a full toolkit of methods from the Intuitive Psychology Association alongside my experience as a CEO and intuitive coach. We work with the conscious mind, the subconscious, your nervous system and your intuition in one integrated space instead of treating them as separate.

You will not be asked to simply “think more positively”. We are working much deeper than mindset alone.

Who is this kind of coaching for?

Intuitive Psychology Coaching tends to resonate most with:

• High achievers and leaders who feel stuck, exhausted or disconnected from themselves

• Business owners who want more intuitive, aligned decisions rather than constant overthinking

• People who have done mindset or personal development work and feel ready to go deeper

• Sensitive, thoughtful humans who need a grounded way to explore emotions and patterns without feeling overwhelmed

If part of you is successful on paper and another part feels like it is quietly burning out, this work is very often the missing piece.

What happens before your first session?

Before we ever close our eyes or talk about the subconscious, we do a few practical things:

1. Intake and clarity
   You complete a short form where you share your current situation, your goals and any relevant history. This helps me understand what you are carrying and what you most want from coaching.

2. Intuitive Authenticity Scale check in
   Many clients start with a reflective tool that measures how connected you feel to courage, trust, worthiness, acceptance, connection and awareness. This gives us a baseline and a shared language for progress.

3. Nervous system safety check
   We discuss anything that might impact your capacity for deeper work, such as recent big life events, overwhelm, or mental health support you are already receiving. My job is to make sure we work at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

   The structure of an Intuitive Psychology Coaching session with Purpose Panda

   While every session is unique, there is a clear structure that holds you throughout. Think of it like a gentle arc: arrive, ground, explore, transform, integrate, close.

   1. Arriving and building rapport

   We start with a short check in. How are you arriving today. What feels present in your world.

   This is not small talk for the sake of it. It helps your system shift from “doing” mode into a held, supported space. We clarify what you would love from the session so that we both know the intention we are working with.

   You might hear questions like:

   • What would make today feel powerful for you.

   • If we could only shift one thing in this session, what would you choose.

   2. Nervous system regulation

   Before we work with the subconscious, we regulate your nervous system so your body feels safe.

   This usually involves:

   • A few minutes of gentle breathing

   • A short guided grounding or heart connection

   • Inviting your awareness into your body rather than staying in your head

   Clients often say this part alone feels like a reset. Your body starts to realise that it can soften without losing control.

   3. Exploring what is really going on

   Once you feel more grounded, we start to explore your inner world in more depth.

   I will ask questions that help you:

   • Untangle the story you have been telling yourself about the situation

   • Notice the beliefs, fears or patterns underneath it

   • Connect the dots between past experiences and how you show up now

   We usually do this work with your eyes closed so you can turn inwards more easily.

   You might notice memories, emotions, physical sensations or unexpected insights coming to the surface. My role is to guide, reflect back themes, and help you feel safe as you explore.

   4. Working with the subconscious

   Once we have clarity on the theme for the session, we may move into a specific Intuitive Psychology technique. This is where we work directly with your subconscious mind, emotions and body.

   I select techniques carefully based on what is coming up for you. Examples include:

   • Unlayering
     A powerful technique that reveals surprising root beliefs that the conscious mind could never have named.

   • Inner Child work
     We connect with a younger version of you who still holds unprocessed emotion or unmet needs, offering them the love, protection and validation they did not receive at the time.

   • Working with Parts
     We meet different “parts” of you such as the achiever, the inner critic or the protector, give them space to speak and unburden.

   • Timeline or past narrative techniques
     We revisit a key moment in your story, reprogram your subconscious story, and reclaim the wisdom and strength that came from it.

   • Happiness belief change or reframing work
     We explore outdated beliefs such as “I have to work hard to be worthy” and help your subconscious adopt more helpful, expansive beliefs that feel true in your body, not just in your mind.

   Many of these techniques involve eyes closed, guided visualisation and deep emotional connection. You stay in control throughout and we only work as deeply as feels safe and appropriate for you.

   5. Integration and coaching

   After a technique, we always come back to conscious integration. This is where we translate insight into change.

   We might explore questions such as:

   • What feels different now compared to the start of the session.

   • What did you realise about yourself or this situation.

   • How does your body feel as you think about your next steps.

   • What becomes possible for you with this new awareness.

   From there we agree on gentle, aligned actions that support your nervous system and your goals. This could look like a new boundary, a small conversation, a simple daily regulation practice, or a change in how you approach a decision in your business.

   Intuitive Psychology Coaching is not only about emotional release. It is also about practical movement in your life that comes from a deeper, more authentic place.

   6. Closing and next steps

   We finish by grounding you back in the present, checking in on how you feel and making sure you are not leaving the session raw or activated.

   I will often reflect back the shifts I witnessed in you so your system can register the change: more softness in your shoulders, a different light in your eyes, a stronger voice when you speak about your future.

   You may leave with:

   • A simple practice to use between sessions

   • Journaling prompts or reflections

   • A clear focus for the days or weeks ahead

   Clients also like to track their progress with the Intuitive Authenticity Scale at key milestones in their coaching journey, which gives a tangible view of improvements over time.

   What does an Intuitive Psychology Coaching session feel like?

   Clients often describe sessions as:

   • Calming and emotionally spacious

   • Deep yet surprisingly efficient

   • Clarifying, as if puzzle pieces finally click into place

   • Gently confronting in the best way, because old patterns can no longer hide

   • Empowering, because change is happening from the inside out rather than trying to force it from the outside in

   It is normal to feel a mix of relief, tiredness, hope and curiosity afterwards. Your subconscious mind and nervous system are integrating long after the call ends, which is why shifts often keep unfolding in the days that follow.

   How many sessions do you need?

   This depends on your goals and how deeply rooted the patterns are. As a guide:

   • A single session can create a powerful shift around one specific issue or decision.

   • A short series of 4 to 8 sessions allows us to work with the root causes of burnout, self doubt or repeating patterns and create new ways of being.

   • Longer term work (3-6 months) is ideal if you are redesigning your life, business or leadership identity at a fundamental level.

   We will always discuss what feels realistic and supportive for you.

   Is this the right next step for you?

   If you feel a quiet yes in your body as you read this, pay attention to that. Intuition rarely shouts, it usually whispers.

   An Intuitive Psychology Coaching session is not about fixing you because you are broken. It is about creating a deeply safe space to meet the parts of you that are tired of carrying so much, helping your nervous system relax, and letting your subconscious and intuition show you what you most need right now.

   If you are ready to explore this work, you can:

   • Book a free discovery call to ask questions and feel what it is like to work together

   • Start with a 'Pause. Reflect. Realign.' Taster Session to experience the process before committing longer term
