Welcome to the latest issue of The Coaching Psychologist, which is a special issue bringing you some of the best papers from the University of Chichester’s inaugural coaching psychology conference. I have the honour of having been joined as co-editor for this special issue by Dr Ian Tyndall from Chichester’s Department of Psychology and also Chair of the conference. In this editorial, we will explain how this conference came into being, how this fits in to the wider growth in interest and activity within the field of coaching psychology, as well as preview the articles featured within this issue.
