This study aims to explore the impact of coaching and mentoring in a university students sample, using mixed methods explanatory sequential design. It investigates the core values of a coaching process and the impact on students' self-awareness, self-reflection, self-insight, positive self-concept, resilience and wellbeing. The identified variables are described in the Conceptual Framework which was created as a result of the complexity of the coaching underpinnings and was developed based on a structured literature search.

Significant increase in self-satisfaction, perceived level of self-competence and the moral aspect of self was found. Qualitative thematic analysis revealed further benefits of engaging in coaching process within the university sample. A participant from the current study stated following: "The skills I learned from coaching are important life skills that should be taught to everyone as they can be applied to every situation we experience!"
