Coaching supervision

The global code of ethics states that a coach should engage in coaching supervision with a suitably qualified coaching supervisor at a frequency appropriate to their practice.

At NHS Elect we work with those who coach in the NHS and provide confidential coaching supervision that encourages reflection, collaboration and challenge related to all aspects of coaching practice.

What is coaching supervision?

Coaching supervision is formal, protected time for facilitating a coach’s in-depth reflection on their practice with a trained coaching supervisor. It is advocated by all the professional coaching organisations, including the Association for Coaching.

Coaching supervision is considered a powerful tool for deep learning, with benefits extending to your clients and organisations too. These are usually done in small groups, or ocassionally on a one-to-one basis.


Three functions of coaching supervision

Before you start working with a Coaching Supervisor, we will agree a bespoke approach based on your individual needs. This could include: 

Developmental

Development of skills, understanding and capacities of the coach

Resourceful

Supportive space for the coach to process their experiences

Qualitative

Quality, work standards and ethical integrity
