Coaching SuperVision is a safe, supportive and collaborative space that enables you to reflect, grow and thrive ✨
Let’s clear up a common misunderstanding about supervision. When we refer to coach SuperVision, we’re not talking about the kind of supervision where someone watches over your shoulder, judging every move you make. It is essential to understand that the word ‘supervision’ has a distinct meaning in the context of coaching, specifically SuperVision. SuperVision in coaching is not supervising or managing someone’s coaching, rather, it’s a supportive relationship aimed at fostering the professional development and wellbeing of a coach.
Reflection and reflective practice are key components of effective SuperVision. For that reason, many supervisors refer to supervision as ‘SuperVision’.
There are a multitude of benefits from coaching SuperVision. As a vital part of a coach’s professional development and overall well-being, Coaching SuperVision provides a dedicated space for reflection, support, and growth leading to the following benefits:

How often should I have supervision? You can have supervision as often as you like (or need). However, as an accredited coach with any of the main coaching bodies, there are usually guidelines for the amount of coaching supervision you must have each year. For example, an EMCC Master Practitioner Coach/Mentor, is required to have one hour of coaching supervision per 35 hours of coaching or at least four, one-hour one-to-one supervision sessions per quarter. Check with your accrediting body for their recommended supervision schedule.
