Coaching Supervision

Supporting your coaching practice

Why supervision?


You might need supervision to meet the requirements of your coaching accreditation, but even if you don’t, it’s simply good practice. Supervision supports you and your clients, develops your thinking, helps you navigate challenges when you feel ‘stuck’, and celebrates as well as builds on your coaching strengths.

 

Supervision is a supportive and safe environment to explore who you are as a coach.

 

I am grounded and practical, as well as creative and spontaneous in both supervision and coaching practice. I integrate what I’ve learned and been taught, holding it lightly to attend to what is brought into each session, responding with authenticity and integrity.

 

I am committed to supporting you to discover and fulfil your greatest potentials and uniqueness as a coach.

I am committed to offering allyship through safe, supportive, neuroaffirmative  and inclusive spaces for all my clients.

 

What is the 7-eyed Model of Supervision?

 

The 7-eye model of supervision (Hawkins & Shoet, 2012) is a transtheoretical and interdisciplinary model - meaning it draws on a variety of different theories and it can be used across different roles within helping professions. It is the most influential model in coaching supervision (Joseph, 2017).   

 

It allows us to look at a coaching conversations from various related perspectives (the 7 ‘eyes’ ) including the client's situation, what you did as a coach in the session, the client-coach relationship and the coach-supervisor relationship, all of which is encompassed within the wider context within which we both work.

 

What happens in a supervision session?

The very first aspects of supervision are around clarifying confidentiality and boundaries. These are essential to building the structure of the sessions, creating psychological safety, managing expectations and beginning to get to know one another and how we will work together.

 

Ideally, you will bring examples of cases for us to look at and consider together - something you found challenging, something you aren't sure where to go with in your next session, or something you want to celebrate and deepen your understanding of why it went so well.
