COACHING SUPERVISION
Supervision for the client you keep thinking about.
Every coach and mentor has one: the person who stays with you long after the session ends. Supervision gives that relationship, and you, an hour of proper attention, outside the work and away from its pressures. One-to-one or in a small group, by video.

ICF and EMCC
Supervision hours that count for ICF and EMCC renewal
EMCC has long made ongoing supervision a condition of accreditation, and asks for evidence of it when you apply and when you renew. An ESIA-accredited supervisor is what EMCC looks for.
From 1 January 2027, ICF follows: supervision hours claimed towards ICF credential renewal must be with a supervisor who holds the ICF Coaching Supervisor Specialization or an equivalent accreditation from another global professional body.
I hold both, the EMCC ESIA and the ICF CSS, along with the CSA accreditation, which I renew every year.
If you are working towards EMCC accreditation, EMCC asks for one-to-one supervision, so choose individual sessions rather than the Circle.
What supervision is for
A good session does more than one job, usually without announcing it.
Quality and ethics
It protects the quality of your work. We look at ethics, contracting, boundaries and the standards of your professional body, and at the moments where you weren't sure you got it right.
For organisations, this is what keeps an internal coaching pool or a mentoring programme safe to run.
Learning
It keeps you learning. Supervision is where experience turns into skill: noticing your own patterns, finding another way into a relationship that feels stuck, seeing what can't be seen from inside the session.
Resourcing:
It looks after you. Holding other people's difficulty takes something out of you, and supervision is where you set it down and come back resourced. It is not therapy, but how you are matters here as much as what you did.
The supervision literature calls these the normative, formative and restorative functions. In practice they arrive together.
Is it for you?
It may be for you if:
- a client or mentee stays with you long after the session
- you are unsure where your role ends, or whether a request sits right ethically
- you are working towards ACC, PCC, MCC or EMCC accreditation and want your practice looked at closely
- you work inside an organisation and carry its expectations as well as your client's
- you have practised for years and want a place to stay honest with yourself
What you leave with:
- a clearer view of what is happening in the relationship
- a decision you can stand behind, or a better question to take back to your client
- a pattern of your own that you can now see at work
- less to carry into your next session
Who you are is how you supervise
That phrase comes from Edna Murdoch and Jackie Arnold's Full Spectrum Supervision, the core text of my training with the Coaching Supervision Academy. Years of practice have only confirmed it.
Before coaching I spent 17 years in corporate finance, operations and executive direction. I know the pull to get things done and get them right, and I bring that awareness into supervision rather than pretending it isn't there. My training taught me to rely less on tools and more on presence, silence, a clear contract and genuine curiosity about the person in front of me.
Some coaches come to supervision for the hours. That is a perfectly good reason to start, and most find they stay for something else.
I work in English, French and Romanian, often with people for whom none of these is a first language, so I listen for what sits beneath the words as well.
My default is gentle. I am direct when that serves you better, and we agree early on which you need.
I also supervise mentors in MOZAIC, the international reciprocal mentoring programme created by EMCC Romania, and I am in supervision myself, in a group and one-to-one.

Individual Supervision

For organisations
Supervision for internal coaching pools and mentoring programmes, one-to-one or in groups, agreed with you.
Choose one-to-one if your cases are sensitive, your questions are specific, or you prefer your own pace. The Circle suits you if you learn well from other people's cases and want regular support at a lower cost. Many coaches combine the two.
Note: Prices exclude VAT.
What Coaches and Mentors ask
Questions coaches and mentors ask
- What happens in a session? You bring a client situation, a question about your role, or something you have noticed in yourself. We agree what you want from the time, then look at it from several angles: the client, the relationship, you, and the wider system around the work. You leave with something you can use in your next session.
- How is supervision different from mentor coaching? ICF mentor coaching develops your coaching against the ICF core competencies, usually with recorded sessions, on the way to a credential. Supervision looks at your whole practice: cases, ethics, your own patterns and how you are. I offer both.
- Do the hours count for ICF renewal? From 1 January 2027, supervision hours count towards ICF credential renewal when the supervisor holds the CSS or an equivalent accreditation, and I hold the CSS. Check ICF's renewal requirements for how many hours you can claim.
- Is it confidential? Yes. What you bring stays between us, within the limits set by the ICF and EMCC codes of ethics. In the Circle, the group agrees the same at the start.
- How do I pay? The 10-hour package and the yearly Circle are invoiced. Single hours and the monthly Circle are paid when you book.
- Which language? One-to-one supervision in English, French or Romanian. The first Circle runs in English.
CHOOSING A SUPERVISOR
What to look for, with me or with anyone else
Supervision only works if the relationship does. These are the questions I would ask in your place.
- Accreditation that fits your path. If you hold or plan an ICF credential, check that the supervisor holds the CSS or an equivalent from another global body. If you work within EMCC, ask about the ESIA.
- Practice behind the training. Ask how long they have coached or mentored themselves, and where. Supervision draws on lived experience of the work as much as on theory.
- A clear contract. A good supervisor agrees with you at the start what supervision is for, how confidentiality works, and what happens if something serious comes up.
- Their own supervision. Supervisors need it too. It is a fair question to ask who supervises them.
- Fit. After a first conversation, notice whether you could bring the case you feel least sure about. If not, keep looking.
A first 30-minute conversation with me costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
