Coaching Supervision for Coaches

Working together as thinking partners

My approach is for us to have a collaborative partnership in exploring the issues you bring to supervision. I will provide a protected, confidential, reflective space to help you explore issues that arise from you coaching practice and challenges that impact you as a coach, so that you are able to:

Determine any actions you may wish to undertake because of our supervision sessions

Enhance and develop your self-awareness and capability as a coach

Have a place where you can brainstorm and explore ideas to complex or challenging coachee/client situations

Three principles underpinning the supervision I provide

Normative: that your work as a coach is professional and ethical, operating within the codes, laws and organisational norms which apply to the coaching you are providing. It helps you work through tricky challenging situations, and ethical dilemmas.

Formative: the support and challenge that enhances your knowledge, skills, aptitude and abilities as a coach. Grounded in reflective practice and helping you integrate learning into practice.

Restorative: taking care of you, your capacity for self-management and self-care, and helping you assess what you might need to sustain you as a coach and your coaching practice.

A more formal definition of coaching supervision

Coaching supervision is a formal and protected time for facilitating a coach’s in-depth reflection on their practice with a Coaching Supervisor.

Supervision offers a confidential framework within a collaborative working relationship in which the practice, tasks, process, and challenges of the coaching work can be explored.

The primary aim of supervision is to enable the coach to gain in ethical competency, confidence, and creativity, to ensure best possible service to the coaching client, both coachees and coaching sponsors.

Supervision is not a ‘policing’ role, but rather a trusting and collegial professional relationship.

Individual Supervision

Working on a one-to-one basis, in a private space.

Spending time focused on you, the challenges you are facing, and enabling you to uncover deeper insights about yourself, grow your self-awareness and enhance your coaching practice as a result.

I offer 1 hour supervision sessions online (Zoom or Teams) to provide flexibility alongside your other commitments, and we'll work at a pace and frequency that meets where you are at in your coaching at any given time.

Group Supervision

Working in small discrete groups, to gain richer perspectives on your coaching practice.

I run both open and closed formats, which means:

open groups where you book a session as and when you need or want supervision and meet a mix of fellow coaches each time
joining a closed group where you make a commitment with like-minded coaches to a series of supervision sessions, giving you chance to get to know each other, and support and challenge each other each time we meet in a constructive and positive way

People's experience of supervision I have provided

"Hearing that other coaches had similar concerns and challenges so an opportunity to share strategies and be reassured that what we were doing was more than OK. Sian was amazing at pulling our thoughts together and provided a really supportive environment for us to get to know each other and share our experiences."

"Engaging with deep conversations about coaching in an open and supportive environment with colleagues who were able to provide challenge and guidance in equal measure. Very worthwhile."

"It was a very powerful session as we connected deeply with each other, and each other's challenges. It led to a great AHA moment and insight for me."

"Talking to other people and sharing experiences and ideas. The time people take to really listen to others' issues and come up with useful input. The care and respect others have for fellow coaches."

"Sian is a fantastic coach and coach supervisor. She seems to be able to set the perfect tone for the session, provide input herself where appropriate and give everyone chance to contribute and share, feeling like the session is valuable for everyone involved. The timing is just about right for the number of people to share effectively."

"The opportunity to share openly about a specific challenge and gain insights, feedback and suggestions on how others may approach the situation."

"Sharing coaching challenges, hearing others' perspectives, and Sian's ability to pull all the threads together. I came away feeling refreshed and positive."

"The whole process was really helpful. I enjoyed the group reflection and learning and also the challenge to think about your practice."
