ABSTRACT
Rational Emotive Behavioural Coaching (REBC) can be regarded as one of the metal ribs that support the single canopy of Cognitive-Behavioural Coaching. Although as an approach to coaching REBC originates from the therapeutic approach of Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), it has a broader scope than REBT. When coachees have practical problems, they may be confused or mixed up over a number of issues and need to establish a sense of clarity and order by talking their problems through with someone. In the case of emotionally problematic issues, when an REB coach works with a coachee, the coach will draw upon REBT's theory and practice. Moreover, when a coachee is undergoing development-focused coaching or practical problem-focused coaching, they may experience emotionally problematic obstacles. So even where the focus of the coaching is not primarily on helping coachees deal with their emotional problems, REB coaches may well be required to intervene when coachees become emotionally stuck.
