Supervision details
I offer supervision to coaches (or any helping profession including DSL's) enabling a protected safe space to reflect on professional practice, whilst supporting the personal wellbeing of the supervisee.
As a Psychologist (BPS Chartered Health and Coaching Psychologist), I have trained and specialised in a number of areas around stress management, the mind-body connection and the neuroscience behind meditation giving the supervisee a diverse range of skills and tools to enhance their own coaching practice.
An a BPS Chartered Coaching Psychologist I can also support individuals wishing to seek BPS Coaching Psychology Chartership. This includes offering supervision and guidance on achieving the skills to achieve this status. To learn more see our article on becoming a Chartered Coaching Psychologist - https://www.rccs.org.uk/post/chartered-coaching-psychologist
In addition to my experience I have completed the SDS Essentials Clinical Supervision course which allows me to be on the BPS Register of Applied Psychology Practice Supervisors.
The most frequent approach I use for supervision is Proctor’s 3 Function Interactive Model.
This is broken into three areas:
§FORMATIVE FUNCTION (Learning) – supervision is
concerned with developing the skills, abilities and
understandings of the supervisee.
§ RESTORATIVE FUNCTION (Support) –
supervision explores and reviews how the supervisee responds
emotionally to the stresses of the work.
§ NORMATIVE (Accountability) – supervision
concerned with maintaining and ensuring the safety and
effectiveness of the supervisee’s practice work.
