Why coaches need supervision

Coaching is rewarding work. Without support, it can quietly wear you down.

Complex
Every coaching engagement sits inside a wider system: the client, their organisation, the contracting organisation and you.
Demanding
Coaches regularly hold complex material, from ethical dilemmas to emotionally charged client situations, often with no one to talk it through with.
Isolating
Most coaching work happens one to one, behind closed doors, where blind spots go unnoticed.

Supervision isn’t about someone checking you’re coaching “correctly”. It’s a confidential, collaborative space to notice what’s hard to see from inside the coaching relationship, and to keep your coaching work safe, ethical and effective.

One-to-One Supervision

Dedicated time to explore your coaching practice in depth.

Small Group Supervision

Learn from other coaches in a small, supportive group.

One-off or Ongoing

A single session or a regular programme of support.

Supports Accreditation

Evidence supervision and CPD for your professional body.

Who is our coaching supervision for?

For coaches who want to keep learning, not just keep going.

Our coaching supervision is for anyone whose coaching work matters to them, whether you’re newly qualified after coach training or have years of coaching experience behind you. It’s a space to explore coaching relationships, ethical boundaries and the moments you feel stuck with a client.

Supervision will help you think more clearly about your practice and stay well supported while you do this demanding work.

What we explore in supervision

Every supervision session is shaped around you, your clients and your development. Coaches often bring:

1

Your coaching practice:

What’s working, what isn’t, and why

2

Coaching relationships:

Complex clients and recurring coaching issues

3

Ethical boundaries:

Ethical dilemmas, contracting, and when to signpost other support services

4

Patterns and blind spots:

The assumptions that are hard to see alone

5

You as the coach:

Exploring your responses, assumptions and what you bring to the relationship

6

Wellbeing and growth:

Protecting your energy and building confidence

Our coaching supervisors combine professional supervision with real coaching, leadership and organisational experience. Drawing on recognised supervision models and applied neuroscience, we help you slow your thinking down, notice what you might be missing and make well-considered choices, in a psychologically safe learning space.

Don't just take our word for it...

Dave has been my coaching supervisor for many years now and each session I have with him has been a sound investment.

I coach leaders, so I needed to work with a supervisor who understood coaching in a leadership context in addition to how I could help myself and my clients with strategy, impostor syndrome, resilience, etc, when either climbing the corporate ladder or going for business growth.

Dave has all the skills I need from a good supervisor and more. He’s professional, whilst also being engaging, stimulating, knowledgeable, humorous, non-judgemental and, of course, he’s an exceptionally good listener.

I always enjoy my supervision sessions with Dave, even when they’re challenging. I highly recommend Dave to anyone who takes their coaching business or career seriously.

It was a fantastic experience receiving supervision from Dave. He brings a wealth of experience, models and knowledge around coaching that have really benefited my practice. He provides a great structure to the sessions so

I really feel “held” and able to explore my thoughts and feelings. He is especially adept at distilling our conversations down into practical takeaways. I always leave a session feeling buoyant and with a sense of clarity.
