Supervision

Alongside my advisory work, I supervise experienced practitioners including coaches, supervisors and mentors. Supervision is an important part of my own professional contribution. It offers me an opportunity to give back to the coaching and leadership development profession by supporting practitioners to deepen their thinking, strengthen their judgement, and continue developing work that is both responsible and humane. 

Supervision is a disciplined, reflective professional dialogue in which coaches/mentors/leaders examine their work, the judgements they are making, and the impact they are having. It is important to recognise that it is not performance management or oversight. Supervision is a confidential space that strengthens discernment, steadiness, and depth of practice — all so that you can be more effective, grounded, and in alignment with who you are and the work you do. It supports careful thinking about the relational, organisational and contextual dynamics shaping the work, particularly where the stakes are significant and the questions do not present in simple form.

I offer supervision for individuals and groups, working with both established and newly qualified practitioners who want to develop rigorous, thoughtful and ethically grounded practice. My approach is informed by doctoral research in belonging, identity and culture, and is grounded in the principle of belonging in the room — attending carefully to the presence of coach, client and context within the work. We consider how these elements influence both the work and the practitioner’s stance within it.

At senior levels, coaching rarely takes place in isolation from organisational dynamics or from questions of authority, legitimacy and responsibility. Practitioners are often working in environments where expectations are high, power is present, and the margin for error is narrow. We notice where urgency may be narrowing perspective, where practitioners may feel drawn into role, and where complexity may be prematurely simplified.

The intention is not perfection, but integrity: supporting practitioners to remain appropriately boundaried, able to hold complexity, and capable of working at depth in demanding environments. This approach enables work that is both rigorous and humane, strengthening the quality of thinking available in the room.

I am an EMCC Global Individual Accredited Supervisor (ESIA), operate with full professional indemnity insurance, and adhere strictly to the EMCC Global Code of Ethics.

This work is particularly relevant for those working with:

• CEOs
• CFOs
• senior partners
• board-level leaders

It is worth noting that I am a Partner with Altair Advisory LLP and my coaching practice includes C-suite leaders in organisations of FTSE 100 scale and complexity, with the majority of my work being in financial services, asset management, retail and founder-led scaling businesses. In the past I have worked as a sole-practitioner, within an organisation, and alongside a group of coaches.
