COACH
SUPERVISION
For Qualified Coaches with Neurodivergent clients.
Coach supervision is a collaborative conversation in which a Supervisor and you reflect on your practice and wellbeing, to help you develop and thrive as a coach, whilst also ensuring the quality and integrity of your work for your clients, the systems you operate in and the coaching profession as a whole.
It is not, as some people mistakenly describe it, simply coaching for coaches. Coaching is typically client-led and agenda-free. Supervision by contrast explicitly concerns itself with the coach’s work rather than anything else a coach might bring.
Coaching supervision is a safe environment and conversational space for growth, reflection and challenge between people working in the same field. It creates a space for a coach to consider their coaching practice from fresh angles, explore new ways of working, confront blind spots, unpick ethical dilemmas, unpack unresolved emotions about the work, notice relational challenges in the coaching and so much more.
Coach Supervision is offered one-to-one or for groups of coaches.

“I am a qualified ADHD coach and Accredited Coach Supervisor. I was an Executive Coach for years before I got my own ADHD diagnosis and learned how to work differently with neurodivergent brains. Coaches can sometimes become stuck when working with neurodivergent individuals.
Maybe your usual approach just isn’t working, you’ve hit a rupture that you don’t understand, or you feel out of your depth and uncertain about neurodiversity, the language to use and how to approach things differently.
It’s possible to do more harm than good if you don’t know what you are working with, and often it’s more appropriate to refer clients to a specialist. But that’s not always possible or practical, so I really appreciate anyone who recognises that they might be a bit stuck and wants to do the best they can for their client.
My 1-to-1 sessions are 60 or 90 minutes long and include PDFs of relevant models and content.”

“As well as explaining why the person we're coaching might show up differently than we expected (who are we meeting and not meeting when we are coaching?), Helena shared this wonderful image that describes the many and varied facets of cognitive bias. How our brains decide for us what to remember, how we make decisions when we need to act fast and what to do when there’s not enough meaning or too much data for us to process rationally.
Fascinating stuff, and very useful to help us coaches understand our clients - and to understand ourselves.”

COACH SUPERVISION
FURTHER INFO
The purpose of supervision is to help coaches get better, be happier and become more effective for everyone involved.
The formative, normative and restorative areas of focus enable us to understand the core purpose and aims of supervision. You can read more about some of the models used at iccs.co/what-is-coaching-supervision.
You might also be interested in joining the EMCC Neurodiversity special interest group and there are further resources here.
In my one-to-one sessions, we start wherever is most helpful to you and your clients. We might address the ways coaches need to work differently with neurodivergent brains, or we might work within a more typical supervision frameworks, using Hawkin's and Shohet's seven-eyed-model, or Heron's categories of intervention (as examples).
Just for clarity, I am currently in training with the International Centre for Coaching Supervision, and I will not be accredited in coach supervision until April 2025 - my current rates reflect this. Please check requirements if you are intending to use these supervision hours for accreditation or certification purposes.
