In this article we describe a recent and important development within the Danish Psychological Association with the creation of the Society of Evidence-based Coaching, the first society in Danish psychological history to deal specifically with coaching and psychology as a distinct profession. Being three of the founding psychologists and elected members of the board of the Society, we present some of the reasons for having a society of this kind, the attitude changes within the Danish psychological profession that are needed if coaching is to develop as a profession amongst psychologists, how we wish to conduct a ‘dialogue of inclusion’ with other professions and players in the field, the need and wish for international relations and our hopes for the future development and the positive impact of the society and evidence-based coaching.

Keywords: Evidence-based coaching, society, continuation development, international relations.
