Coaching Supervision

Individual and group supervision for career coaches in practice. Plain work. Done properly.

Most of the coaches I supervise came to it because their credentialling body requires it. A few came because they were carrying a case they did not know what to do with. A small number came because they wanted it, and had done from the start. All three are fine reasons. The work is the same.

What supervision actually does

It looks at how you work, not just what you are working on. That distinction matters. You can spend a long time discussing a client's situation without ever examining your own responses to it: what you picked up on, what you steered around, what you brought into the room that was yours and not theirs. Supervision creates the space to examine that.

It also catches things. Practice blind spots, habits that used to be useful and are not any more, the gradual drift toward a style that is comfortable rather than right. None of that is obvious from inside the work. That is why the outside perspective exists.

Format

Individual sessions run one hour. I work monthly with most supervisees, fortnightly with coaches who are in an intensive period of practice or training for a credential. Group supervision (up to four coaches) runs ninety minutes and is available on request.

Sessions are online, or in person in Cardiff for coaches who prefer that.

What I bring

10 years of practice, including supervision experience with coaches across career, executive, and transition coaching. Previously 11 years in financial services, which shapes how I think about the professional world coaches are operating in. Accreditation as Master Certified Coach since 2020.

I do not have a system I ask you to work within. I work with what comes up. If your model is useful, I will work with it. If it is getting in the way of the client, I will say so.

How to start

Book a twenty-minute call. We will talk about where your practice is and whether this is the right fit. I am not going to sell you six sessions up front. If it seems right, we start with one and go from there.

Questions about supervision

I'm thinking about moving into supervision. Is this relevant to me?
That is a different question from getting supervision as a practising coach. If you want supervision to support your existing practice, we can start now. If you are thinking about training as a supervisor yourself, mention that when you book. I will be straight with you about whether the timing makes sense.
What kind of coaches do you typically supervise?
Career coaches, mostly. Some executive coaches working on career transitions. A few coaches training for their first credential who need supervision hours. The common thread is coaches who take the work seriously and want a thinking partner who will push back when it is warranted.
Who is this not right for?
Anyone who wants box-ticking supervision to satisfy a credentialling requirement without actually engaging with the work. That is not a judgement. It is a real thing that happens. It is just not what this is for.
How is supervision different from working through cases with a peer?
Peer supervision has its place. It is good for normalising experience and knowing you are not alone in something. What it cannot provide is the perspective of someone who is not in the same position as you. That asymmetry is what supervision adds. It is not better than peer support. It is a different thing, and you probably want both.
Are you taking new supervisees?
Yes. Book a twenty-minute call and we will see if the fit is right before committing to anything. No pitch, no obligation. That is not how I work.

A twenty-minute call is where we start. We work out whether this is the right supervision arrangement before anything else.
