Coaching Supervision

What is it?

A relationship which provides a formal learning process in which a coach engages with a more experienced coaching practitioner and qualified coaching supervisor, in order to articulate, reflect on, evaluate and receive support to monitor his or her practice.

It provides checks and balances to ensure best practice, optimum performance and ongoing professional development.

A process by which a Coach can learn to better understand their client and the wider system they are apart of - enabling their client to achieve their goals and ambitions and enhancing the practice of the Coach.

Why do it?

The opportunity to reflect on and review coaching techniques in a confidential relationship thereby ensuring best practice.

Understanding your unique coaching style and how this can be used and adapted to benefit your client’s needs and optimise your own performance as a coach.

To clarify and explore your values and purpose as a coach and how these inform your choices.

Exposure to a wider range of coaching tools and techniques.

To get support and exploration during challenging times in your practice as a coach.

The supervisor provides a confidential relationship within which to consider ethical and boundary issues and other concerns.

How it works

Co-creation of an ongoing development plan for you to use to self manage your learning.
