What is Clean Language?
Clean Language is a simple set of questions developed by counselling psychologist David Grove. These questions are used with a person’s own words to direct their attention to some aspect of their own experience.
Asking these questions in the right context often results in an interesting new insight or the recognition of some new possibility. And if that new possibility is then questioned using Clean Language, the result can be quite profound.
"With a tool like this you can change the world."

The ILM Level 5 in Effective Coaching & Mentoring course is a practical and thorough introduction to putting Clean Language to work in a precise and purposeful way. Over 3 -day modules we learned how to use apparently simple tools to build emergent models of a client's space, develop clear outcomes, resolve drama and work with Clean Feedback and Developmental Tasks. This course taught skills that cannot be learned from reading Clean Language books. Progress in online study groups between the taught sessions showed both how far my learning had progressed and provided the content for the assignments.
