Why coaches need supervision
Coaching is rewarding work. Without support, it can quietly wear you down.
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:
Your coaching practice:
What’s working, what isn’t, and why
Coaching relationships:
Complex clients and recurring coaching issues
Ethical boundaries:
Ethical dilemmas, contracting, and when to signpost other support services
Patterns and blind spots:
The assumptions that are hard to see alone
You as the coach:
Exploring your responses, assumptions and what you bring to the relationship
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.

“Good coaches create space for other people to think. Good supervision makes sure coaches have a space to think too. In supervision, I bring together more than 30 years of leadership experience and applied neuroscience to help coaches understand what’s really going on in their coaching relationships, and what to do next.” Dave Palfreyman
