Overview

Coaching work is complex, psychologically, and intellectually challenging, and requires agile adjustments to our approach as we move through our relationships with our clients.

Coaching supervision is a collaborative learning practice that builds coaches’ capacity through reflective dialogue. It offers a formal opportunity for coaches to confidently share their client casework to gain insight and direction, enabling them to do better work in service of their clients.

KDVI offers several supervision options (individual, group and bespoke) to support your continued learning and development as a coach. 

Our supervisors, trained in KDVI’s psychodynamic group coaching methodology, understand the power of group learning. When supervision is done within a group, coaches learn from peers, expanding and accelerating reflective work and the creation of a robust learning community.

“Supervision is mandatory and vital for coaches, in order to share coaching questions, ethical dilemmas or other questions that may come up in your practice.

KDVI’s supervision was spot on and very practical; I warmly recommend them.”

Who is coaching supervision for?

  • Coaches who are looking for a development programme that will count towards ICF credentials 
  • Business or consultants who have coaching and mentoring as part of their function, e.g. HR, OD, L&D.
