It all started 20 years ago- The true story behind the model -

Honest, I developed this model because of dissatisfaction with existing models. This model is the story of my professional development as psychotherapist, coach and teacher.

The story behind the model

I see myself as a knowledge worker. The model emerged stepwise during my career as psychotherapist, coach, and teacher

www.forkmodel.net

Phase 1

I was dissatisfied with the diagnostic-problem solving approach as well as with the client-centered approach. I learned the NLP way to work in a structuring goal-oriented frame (track 1).

1987

Phase 2

I was dissatisfied with the ‘request for help’ pattern. I learned how I could improve my clients ability of self-guidance (track 2).

1995

Phase 3

I was dissastisfied with the behaviour based and result-oriented approach. I learned to integrate identity and lifestory (track 3).

Phase 4

I was dissatisfied with the individualistic approach in coaching and counselling. I learned how to connect my clients’ request for help to larger issues in society (track 4).

Succesful change occurs only in a frame of development
