Coaching supervision and coach mentoring for ICF accreditations
Earn an advanced ICF coaching accreditation.
Advance your coaching skills with regular supervision support
Further support for qualified coaches
Coaches often ask “what’s next” to continue their development, after earning their first coaching qualification. Often keen to learn more, we can find all sorts of short courses, books to read, and ways to continue developing.
We are keen to offer two of the most useful and focused approaches to continuing and developing your coaching practice.
Coach mentoring for International Coach Federation accreditations
The ICF is the only worldwide coaching qualification body, and it takes a lead on standards, ethics and professionalising of coaching. Coaches who hold an ICF qualification are highly skilled and are seen as highly credible.
You may be eligible to earn an ICF qualification, even if your previous study was not on an official ICF programme. They offer a scheme where your previous coach training can be recognised and evaluated.
The core of our ICF coach mentoring offer is:
- 10 hours of 1:1 or group mentoring
- Feedback on your coaching and preparation for assessment of your coaching by the ICF
- Full support on the application process with the ICF

Individual or group coaching supervision
Who has coaching supervision? Coaches who coach regularly, and who are keen to both safeguard and advance their practice.
Coaching supervision is a wonderful opportunity to receive personalised support on your coaching skills, approach and development. Unlike traditional supervision in organisations, it is not the hierarchical don’t do it like this approach that we may have experienced.
It is more of a collaborative process, where a skilled supervisor supports you to explore areas of concern, or of development in your practice. Supervision tends to focus on one of three areas:
- Support – coaching can be challenging, and supervision is a safe space to manage our own emotions that come up in coaching.
- Education – supervision can be used to identify skills and approach gaps and to help you learn more approaches and ways to coach.
- Safeguarding – supervision is essential for exploring ethical issues, wellbeing concerns and safeguarding.
We offer 1:1 and group supervision, and our team of coaching supervisors is expanding.
