Coaching Supervision

A reflective space to grow as a coach, and in your coaching.
Supervision is where you bring your real cases, the ones that challenged you, surprised you, or left you with questions, and we look at them together, in the moment, with curiosity and discovery.
"The coaching supervision sessions I've had with Carrie have genuinely meant so much to me. I'm grateful for the time and care she invested in my growth, and I always walked away feeling seen, stretched, grounded, and supported. Carrie made such a positive impact on me as a coach: the importance of re-contracting and keeping goals intentional, trusting my intuition more boldly, leading with clarity and courage, and giving myself grace as I grow have shifted not just how I show up with clients, but who I am as a person. Carrie has been such a steady, insightful presence. Her generous wisdom and her skill in holding a safe space have left me more equipped and grounded after every session, and she's a gem."

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE


Coaching, mentor coaching, and supervision aren't the same thing.

Each serves a different purpose in a coach's development.

Here's how the ICF distinguishes them:

01 — Coaching

Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to recognize and maximize their personal and professional potential.

02 — Mentor Coaching

A student being coached on their coaching skills, not on practice-building or life balance. It's a repeating cycle of feedback, reflection, and practice, focused on the ICF Core Competencies.

03 — Coaching Supervision

A collaborative learning practice to continually build the capacity of the coach through reflective dialogue — for the benefit of both coach and client.

THE THREE ELEMENTS

What supervision actually works on.

Formative


Continuing to develop and sharpen your skills as a coach.

Normative


Staying grounded in ethical practice and clear professional boundaries.

Supportive/Restorative


Recharging your energy and tending to the emotional weight the work can carry.

The Seven-Eyed Model

Supervision using this model means exploring the relationships at play, between you and your client, between you and me as your supervisor, and the larger system and context surrounding both of you.

You & Your Client

The relationship at the center of the case you bring.

You & Me, as Your Supervisor

What arises between us, here and now, is itself material for the work.

The wider system

The larger context surrounding your client, and you as the coach.

We're not just looking at your coaching. We're looking at the whole field.

WHAT TO EXPECT 


This will feel different from a coaching session.

Part of what happens in supervision is that I bring myself into the room as an instrument. That means naming what's occurring inside me as a response to what you share, not to make the session about me, but to open up what's alive in the field between us, right now.

I won't be bringing you answers. I'll be bringing questions. This is your reflective space to explore, I'm here to help you look, not to tell you what you'll find.
