UK Supervision
SUPERVISION/CPD FOR PRACTITIONER COACHES
Organisations are increasingly requiring coaches to participate in regular supervision and continuous professional development (CPD).
As coaches have the professional capacity to help bring about important changes for individuals, groups and organisations, their work can also deeply influence people who are in a life-changing situation or transition and who may be rendered vulnerable and possibly dependent.
i-coach academy offers regular Supervision/CPD Sessions to assist coaches to protect their clients by providing an opportunity to discuss specific cases with other clinically trained professionals.
Why Supervision/CPD?
Ethical codes are being developed within coaching professional bodies and some organisations (our own included). However, many coaching relationships and tasks are difficult to regulate through formal rules. It is, therefore, the individual coach’s ethical consciousness, sense of responsibility and professional competence that are critical to ensuring the protection of the clients in their care and in maintaining the standards of the coaching profession. Supervision/CPD is one way for coaches to take responsibility for their clients whilst furthering their own development.
Benefits of Supervision to Coaches
- Protect your clients, as client cases are discussed with clinically trained professionals who are quick to identify areas of potential concern and offer advice or referral to specialist support if appropriate
- Reflect on your work to identify patterns which may give useful insight into improving your interventions
- Identify your personal strengths and weaknesses as a coach in order to realistically judge the limitations to set with respect to the type of work you undertake
- Learn from peers who have similar cases and experiences
- Improve your competency as a coach by keeping up-to-date with professional developments in the coaching field
Supervision/CPD Options
Individual Supervision/CPD Sessions
Depending on the supervisors’ availability, Individual Supervision Sessions of 1 ½ hours each can be provided by i-coach academy Faculty Members Prof. Mike van Oudtshoorn, Dr. Anton Obholzer and Prof. Ernesto Spinelli. These sessions will be held at the venue of individual Faculty Member’s practice.
These sessions cost £375 + VAT (£440.63) per session of 1 ½ hours.
Group Supervision/CPD Session Facilitated by Prof. Ernesto Spinelli
Prof. Ernesto Spinelli is an i-coach academy faculty member for the Masters Programme. His seminars, lectures and writings have earned him an international reputation as an innovative theoretician and practitioner in contemporary existential psychotherapy and psychology.
These Group Supervision/CPD Sessions run from 9:00am – 5:00pm. The first half of the day 9:00am – 1:30pm is spent with Prof. Spinelli reviewing participants’ case work from a “personal/interpersonal” lens. The rest of the day is self organised by the group with no facilitator present and focuses on professional supervision, skill practice and other forms of continued professional development.

As this is a group activity we require practitioners to commit to six consecutive sessions. Group size will be limited to eight participants. The cost per session is £245 plus VAT (£287.88). If you pay for six sessions in advance you receive a discounted rate of £225 plus VAT (£264.38) per session.
