Coaching Supervision

Coaching supervision is an interaction between a coach and a trained coaching supervisor. This interaction provides a place for the coach to explore their client work, learn new tools and techniques, unpick relationship dynamics, reveal blind spots and explore the larger organisational or personal context.

Types of issues clients usually bring:
- feeling stuck and wanting more tools
- feeling angry or not good enough after a session
- being uncomfortable during session and not sure why
- getting hooked by the client and rescuing or fixing
- feeling responsible and thinking about clients between session
- going over boundaries - time, money, missed sessions
- clients not meeting their goals
- problem with the relationship
- contracting, ethical issues
It benefits the coach by:
- giving an objective perspective on the work
- providing a place to discuss issues and get suggestions
- learning new tools and techniques
- being able to explore dynamics of the relationship or an issue
- learning new psychological theory and research
- gaining deeper understanding of clients issues
- exploring coaches own issues
- getting support and encouragement
- protecting for legal or ethical issues

I offer face to face or telephone supervision both one to one and I also run coaching supervision groups.

I was trained by the Coaching Supervision Academy and am now a tutor on their course. See www.coachingsupervisonacademy.com for more details.
