What is Coaching Supervision?
Coaching supervision is becoming a skill that is more recognised and acknowledged within the coaching world. It is a protected space for coaches to explore and consider their work in a non-judgmental, reflective environment. Qualified coaching supervisors are trained in bringing a variety of lenses and perspectives to each coach’s situation and stimulating thought provoking conversations, considerations and discussions. The aim of supervision is for the coach to feel supported, resourced and recharged, with new ways of thinking about their work. Coaching supervision differs from mentoring in that it offers opportunities to explore a coach’s work through a variety of different approaches. When mentoring the focus of the work is always through coaching
competencies. From an ICF perspective, any coach accredited at PCC level or above can provide mentoring, whereas only supervisors who have undertaken an accredited coaching supervision qualification can offer
qualified coaching supervision. Coaching supervision can be either individual or in group sessions,
depending on the need of the coach. Whilst coaching supervision is currently not mandatory for coaches, it is
considered best practice. As the coaching world continues to progress and advance, coaching supervision will become more of a prerequisite for coaches who are invested in their work and development.
Why train as a coaching supervisor?
Training as a coaching supervisor adds to your portfolio and enables you to bring all the skills you have learnt and developed as a coach to support other coaches as they grow. Being able to offer coaching supervision
alongside a coaching practice demonstrates that you take the coaching profession seriously and that you are committed to both your development and that of your clients. Coaches are often described as being lifelong learners and when you train as a coaching supervisor not only do you learn how to support your
supervision clients, but your coaching skills are enhanced by the new knowledge and practical experience that you are acquiring along the way.
Why chose the Optimus Coaching Supervision Diploma?
Our coaching supervision diploma programme runs in the same way that
we run our coach training diploma programmes. Our focus is on you getting the support that you need to refine and develop your coaching supervision skills.
This includes
Peer supervision partners to practice with throughout the course
Practice within the training groups with competency related feedback during each training session
Three individual development sessions for you to reflect with one of the trainers as to how your supervision work is progressing
Three group reflection sessions where you have the opportunity to discuss your work and learning with other students on the course
Workbooks for each module with suggested related reading and reflective questions
Live practical assessment at the end of the course
The opportunity to set up your first supervision groups and work with our trainee or alumni coaches enabling you to build your experience.
There is a focus on you building strong supervision skills so that you are equipped to work with both individuals and groups.
We look at coaching supervision through a variety of lenses.
The supervision models we look at include:
Developmental Models of Supervision
The Seven Eyed Model of Supervision
CLEAR
Seven Conversations
Frames of Reference
The Supervision Triangle
Relational Model
As well as a wide variety of supervision models we also investigate:
Psychodynamics in Supervision – with particular reference to Defence
Mechanisms, Transference and Countertransference
Transactional Analysis and Supervision
Nancy Klein’s Thinking Environment and Supervision
Positive Psychology and Positive Supervision
Solution Focused Supervision
Neuroscience and Supervision
We will spend time at the end of the course looking at the different
accrediting bodies and what further steps you will need to take to become
an accredited supervisor.
We have divided the diploma into three sections. These come together to
form a complete coaching supervision training.
Our next course is starting in September 2024. Sessions are 9.30 am to 1.30pm UK time.
You need to be coaching regularly so you can bring examples to your practical supervision sessions.

Testimonial
Training to be a Coach Supervisor had been on my wish-list for a while and so I extensively researched the different courses and routes available, however, they weren’t quite ticking the boxes for me. When Optimus released their Supervision course I signed-up immediately. Given the wonderful experience I’ve had as both a student and trainer with Optimus coupled with the curriculum content and the delivery format, it was meeting all of my requirements.
I’m so glad I did the course, I’ve been able to diversify my income by adding Supervision to my offerings, I’ve successfully created a growing Supervision practice made of both private clients and associate work and its also had a hugely positive impact on my coaching practice as it has made me a better coach.
My colleagues on the course were some of the most supportive, intelligent and open-hearted coaches and this sense of community enhanced the already excellent training. Julia was a great teacher who designed the course content and delivered it with great care and openness which leant itself to a holistic learning experience.
Deciding to embark on the course was up there as one of the best professional, personal and business development decisions I have made
