Conflict coaching involves interaction with only one of the parties or one side of the conflict. It involves providing encouragement and prayer support for an individual who is struggling with a conflict. Conflict coaches give advice on specific conflicts and point to God’s plan for responding to that conflict.
Conflict coaching is also a part of the mediation process. It may be done with each party individually in pre-mediation, mid-mediation or break-out sessions to encourage them to change their attitude concerning both tangible and heart issues.
Conflict coaching differs from biblical counseling in that it gives direction and advice concerning a specific conflict, rather than addressing lifelong sin pattern.
