How is evidence to be understood in modern coaching psychology?

The hunt for evidence in modern coaching psychology could be counter-productive, and possibly lead to a simplified approach to research, practice, searching for “definitive truths”. The article discuss a critical approach to evidence hierarchies, and the prevalent (medical) understanding of evidence, and in an overall sense the purpose of evidence in coaching psychological practice. Concepts such as “practice-based evidence” and “experienced evidence” will be argued and put in relation to the classic concept of evidence. Will it be useful to suggest a practitioner’s perspective as a wider concept of evidence applied to psychological practice? Limitations and challenges in relation to this suggestion are pinpointed in the end.
