Coaches select from a repertoire of more than 100 methodologies, matching the technique to the client’s question. Commonly used approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Rational Emotive Therapy (RET), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Solution-Focused Coaching, Motivational Interviewing, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), biographical coaching, systemic and family constellations, EMDR, and MMS coaching. The process is practical, goal-oriented, and future-focused, distinguishing coaching from therapeutic interventions that concentrate on underlying mental blockages. A standard trajectory begins with a free orientation session, followed by collaborative goal-setting, structured sessions lasting one to one-and-a-half hours every two to three weeks, reflective homework assignments, and a final evaluation. Walking coaching in nature is offered as an alternative format. Psychometric tests assessing personality, talents, and career preferences are available to enrich the process.

For organizations, GORT® serves HR departments, L&D teams, and line managers needing employee coaching, team interventions, in-house psychologists, mediation, outplacement support, absence prevention, and certified internal coach training.
