I am an accredited supervisor (BPS RAPPS) and offer supervision for practicing Coaches and Coaching Psychologists. Supervision provides a professional, formal, and external frame of reference to support deep reflection and reflexivity in your professional practice.

Supervision is sometimes viewed as a fulfilment requirement for a qualification, portfolio, or accreditation, but it can be far more impactful than that. Supervision supports you to develop yourself as a practitioner, and your expertise in your practice in tandem. Your supervisor takes a wider, systemic view of your development, which can help you identify blindspots, optimise your coaching skills, and operate your coaching practice more deeply and with more fulfilment.

Why have supervision?

The supervision alliance is a professional relationship of mutual respect, with the aim of taking a meta-perspective of your coaching practice and development, with you in the lead.

Whether you are newly embarking on your coaching / coaching psychology practice, or already well established, supervision offers a safe, non-judgemental space in which you will:

  • Deeply reflect and be reflexive on your practice, how you operate, and your impact on your clients.
  • Experiment with new skills and approaches: enhance strengths as well as areas you want to develop.
  • Increase your knowledge and understanding of your own and the broader professional practice, and apply it for the benefit of your clients.
  • Work through case studies and ethical concerns in a supportive environment.
  • Gain support, resources, and alternative perspectives and ideas.
  • Optimise your professional performance in tandem with your wellbeing.
  • Detect blindspots, identify your assumptions, and the impact they may be having on your practice.
  • Manage your professional boundaries and alignment with professional and ethical standards.
  • Develop your resilience, buffering against the dangers of burnout and isolation.
  • Consciously create a professional identity and practice in line with your values and professional beliefs.

My supervision philosophy

My supervision practice is evidence-based and practitioner-driven (the practitioner here is the supervisee). Supervision programmes are bespoke to the individual.

My supervision philosophy is dynamic, shaped not only by training, but also by my experience of coaching, supervising, and being supervised myself. Below is a map of sorts, illustrating my supervision practice. I draw on evidence-informed approaches such as Systemic, Positive Psychology; ACT, Cognitive-Behavioural; and Solution Focused frameworks.

I cultivate a safe space in supervision sessions, allowing supervisees to think more creatively and experimentally, helping them move from reflection to become more reflexive (supporting exploration of ‘what now for my practice?’).

Diagram outlining the techniques, approaches, and values that comprise my supervision philosophy. Integrated approach means person-centred, ethically-driven, evidence-informed, and supervisee-driven. Techniques: Systemic, Positive Psychology, ACT, Cognitive-Behavioural, Solution-focused. Approaches: Experimental, Humanistic (Dignity and Agency), Facilitating Reflective & Reflexive practice. Values: Development (practitioner, practice, context), Creativity, Flexibility, Transparency, Integrity, Responsible, Partnership / Alliance, Agency, Empowerment, Autonomy.
