Summary:A search of two leading coaching psychology journals uncovered a gap in the coaching psychology literature regarding the concept of self as multiple. In this paper four premises are provided as to why we need to acknowledge multiplicity in coaching psychology. Mentions of multiplicity already current in the psychological literature are explored, with reasons as to why the concept is so important to coaching psychology. Finally, a 30-year journey shows how a coaching model, which incorporates “The Multiplicity Thesis” was created upon the foundation of 6 theoretical perspectives, with observations from a client, to show conceptually how the model plays out in a professional context.
