Supervision

Sometimes known as ‘meta-coaching’, coaching supervision is a collaborative learning relationship where a coach is supported by their supervisor to engage in reflective dialogue for the benefit of the coach, their clients and the system more widely.

Or as Julie Hay states, “supervision is the process of helping you to step back from your work so that you can take a meta-perspective or broader view of your practice” (Hay, J. 2008. Reflective Practice & Supervision For Coaches. Open University Press)

Supervision enables you to:

Discuss the emotional and wellbeing aspects of your work, harnessing your resourcefulness and accessing support (Resourcing)
Develop your skills and capabilities as a coach (Developmental)
Grow your professional practice for example, in relation to quality, standards and ethics (Qualitative)

Working together

My approach to supervision (and coaching) is facilitative, creative and developmental and founded on appreciation and equality.

Together, we will create a reflective space where you can discuss your practice with openness, honesty and safety and which enables you to be at your best with your clients. I will bring my quality of presence and attention, my integrity and my supervision skills; I invite you to bring your experience, curiosity and commitment.

“Supervision is considered a powerful vehicle for deep learning: its benefits extend beyond the supervisee and include their clients and sponsoring organisations” – The European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC)

Reflective practice

When we make time for structured and meaningful reflection, we are offering ourselves the opportunity to:

Build our self-awareness, emotional intelligence and presence
Learn from our experience, build knowledge and insight and grow
Align our practice with our values, beliefs and what matters
Move forward from feeling stuck
Enhance our resourcefulness and wellbeing

My reflective practice groups provide an opportunity to work together with me, a qualified coaching supervisor, in a structured, supportive and creative way. We’ll do this through the lens of nature and the seasons and I’ll be inviting you to reflect independently and, if it feels useful and right for you, with others in the group.

I’ll offer a range of options and perspectives within each session so you can work in a way which works for you. Bring something to record your exploration if you would like to – a notepad, pencils, pens, drawing materials etc.

By joining a practice group, you’re inviting some accountability, structure and creativity into your reflection, building on your existing insights and awareness and being intentional about future actions.
