Reflective & Embodied Coaching Supervision for Leadership Coaches
Coaching is deeply relational work, yet many of us practise in relative isolation.
We hold space for others, while often having very few places to bring our own questions, doubts, reflections and uncertainties.
Coaching supervision offers leadership coaches and practitioners a reflective space to explore their client work, professional identity and ongoing development.
You may be:
the only coach within your organisation
building an independent coaching practice without a strong professional community around you
navigating the complexity of leadership coaching work
completing coach training and developing confidence in your identity and approach
leading in a coach-like way and wanting a reflective space for your own growth
Supervision offers a place to slow down, think together, and continue developing both your practice and yourself.
I offer reflective and embodied coaching supervision for leadership coaches, internal coaches, trainee coaches, and coach-led leaders (people leaders and managers using a coaching approach) seeking greater confidence, connection and belonging within their work.
About My Coaching Supervision Approach
My supervision approach is relational, reflective, systemic and embodied.
Alongside exploring the thinking and structure behind your coaching work, we also pay attention to what is happening emotionally, relationally and somatically within the coaching space.
Supervision is not about being given “the right answer” or performing as the perfect coach.
It is a reflective partnership that supports you to:
deepen your awareness and confidence as a practitioner
explore ethical and relational complexity
sustain yourself in emotionally demanding work
strengthen your reflective and reflexive capacity
continue growing your coaching presence, identity and integrity
My work is informed by psychosynthesis, systems thinking, embodiment, mindfulness and reflective practice.
I am in the final stages of my Embodied Coaching Supervisor Training with Anne Welsh, at Psychosynthesis Coaching, where I also completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Leadership Coaching.
The Three Homes of Belonging
At the heart of my supervision practice is the idea of belonging.
My work is grounded in what I call The Three Homes of Belonging - the places that support us as coaches to grow in confidence, identity and presence within our practice.
In our work together, my intention is to help you reconnect with these three homes:
Belonging to yourself
Belonging to the profession and a lineage of something larger
Belonging to the supervision space
These three homes enable you to develop confidence, presence, and integrity in your work.
1. Belonging to Yourself
“It was when I stopped searching for home within others and lifted the foundations of home within myself that I found there were no roots more intimate than those between a mind and body that have decided to be whole.”
— Rupi Kaur
As a developing coach, have you found yourself becoming preoccupied with remembering frameworks, using the “right” terminology, or trying to “do coaching” in the way they believe it should be done.
In supervision, I support you to reconnect with your own instincts, intuition, and presence - the being of coaching.
From that place, you are better able to truly hold space for your coachees, notice the small glimmers as they emerge, and grow into the kind of coach you are becoming.
2. Belonging to the Profession
“Each of us is part of an unbreakable chain of people, back into our past to our first ancestors, and into the future to the end of time… when the sun shines on you, that signifies your time. When the sun is shining on you, you have an obligation to make the tribe stronger.”
— Owen Eastwood
Coaching can sometimes feel solitary, particularly for independent practitioners or internal coaches working alone within organisations.
Supervision can also be a place where you begin to consciously curate your identity as a coach - reflecting on the influences, values and experiences that shape how you practise and the kind of coach you are becoming.
It is a space where you can confidently claim the identity of coach, while continuing to develop your thinking, presence, and ethical awareness alongside others who are walking the same path.
3. Belonging to the Supervision Space
“The belief that vulnerability is a weakness encourages invulnerability or avoiding failure, discomfort and self-doubt, rather than risk failure...Being intentionally vulnerable is an uncomfortable and uncertain part of learning for everyone.”
— Dr. Kaye Twyford (my very inspiring Mum, from her most recent research paper)
“Vulnerability is the birthplace of innovation, creativity and change.”
— Brene Brown
The supervision relationship creates a container where you can bring your full self to our work.
A place where you can bring:
uncertainty
stuckness
ethical dilemmas
difficult coaching relationships
moments of self-doubt
things that feel unresolved or confusing
I see supervision as a place where we give ourselves permission to celebrate our strengths AND explore the hard moments.
Moments where something didn’t land as hoped, where uncertainty creeps in, or where we wonder whether we handled something well.
In supervision, those moments are not signs of failure — they are invitations to learn.
Supervision becomes a place where you do not need to arrive polished or certain in order to belong.
What Happens in Supervision
Sessions, either solo or group, are shaped around your practice, questions and developmental edges.
In our work together we may:
begin with a grounding or mindfulness practice
explore live coaching cases
reflect on relational dynamics and patterns
notice what is happening intellectually, emotionally and somatically
explore ethical or systemic questions
identify possible ways forward
deepen awareness of yourself within the coaching relationship
Many coaches experience moments of doubt or shame in their practice — perhaps after a session that didn’t unfold as hoped, or when they worry they missed something important.
Research suggests these moments can make it harder to bring our most pressing concerns to supervision. My intention is to create a space where those experiences can be explored openly and compassionately, so they can become sources of growth rather than isolation.
Supervision draws not only on analysis and reflection, but also on our embodied awareness - noticing what emerges in the head, heart and gut.
At times I may share what I notice as I listen:
Head — thoughts, patterns and meaning-making
Heart — emotional responses and relational sensing
Gut — somatic or intuitive awareness
These responses are shared as wonderings and offerings, rather than solutions or conclusions.
What You’re Welcome to Bring
You are welcome to bring:
live coaching cases
ethical questions or dilemmas
reflections on your development as a coach
uncertainty or self-doubt
something that feels stuck or unresolved
curiosity about what is emerging in your work
questions you do not yet fully understand
Supervision is a space of shared inquiry.
Learning does not come only from the supervisor.
It emerges through the reflective space we create together.
The Context of Our Work Together
The intention of our supervision work together is to:
support ethical, effective, and sustainable coaching practice
deepen reflective and reflexive capacity
strengthen self-awareness, relational awareness, and systemic awareness
Together we may explore questions such as:
What is happening for your client within their wider organisational system?
What is being activated in you as the coach?
What is happening in the relational space between you and your client?
What might be present within the wider system or field?
What may be trying to emerge beneath the surface?
Embodied supervision invites us to attend not only to what is being said, but also to what may be sensed, felt or carried implicitly within the work.
My Role as Supervisor
My role is not to position myself as the expert with quick answers or perfect solutions.
Instead, I support your process of reflection, inquiry and awareness.
At times I may share what is happening for me as I listen — intellectually, emotionally or somatically — and invite you to notice what is happening for you too.
I believe effective supervisors continue engaging in their own reflective and developmental work.
Alongside supervision of my own practice, I continue to engage in ongoing professional development, reflective spaces and embodied learning that support me to keep growing within the work.

Supervision, at its best, is not only a place to develop skill.
It is also a place to deepen confidence, identity, courage and belonging within the profession.
