“For coaches to reflect on their practice and develop their skills.”
The main functions of supervision are:
Developmental: developing skills through reflection on practice.
Resourcing: managing emotions and avoiding burn out.
Qualitative: quality control, dealing with blind spots and vulnerability.
Hawkins and Smith (2006)

“Supervision with Jo has enabled me to be better observer as to my coaching practice. I have been able to bring real-life challenges of clients and organisations to Jo allowing me to have a third-party view. Jo provides some excellent challenges, and for me, that has been where the growth in my practice has been (and will continue to come from). Jo has extensive leadership and business experience, having this in common enabled great rapport. I highly recommend Jo as a coach, mentor and supervisor of coaches looking for authentic support and challenge in their commitment to growth and business success.”
“Jo has worked with me as my coaching supervisor since I completed my Advanced Coaching Practitioner with the AoEC. I value her input to my coaching practice. She helps me look at my coaching world from different angles to give me a new perspective on issues that arise. She has many different techniques in her toolkit and is able to bring out the appropriate tool at the time to help with each issue. I would recommend her if you are looking for coaching supervision. Above all she is a lovely person who has helped me develop my own coaching style!”
