THE LIFE ARCHITECT APPROACH

Step back. Reflect. Recalibrate.

My approach to supervision is grounded in the belief that who you are as a coach is inseparable from how you coach.

 

Supervision therefore isn’t simply about reviewing techniques or deciding what you should have done differently.

 

It’s about exploring the whole coaching relationship.

 

That includes:

• You. Your identity, assumptions, values, emotions and use of self.

• The client. Their experience, needs, expectations and context.

• The relationship. What is happening between you.

• The system. The organisational, cultural and relational context surrounding the work.

• The wider field. The power, dynamics and influences that may be shaping what happens.

 

I bring together coaching, behavioural science, organisational psychology, reflective practice and approaches informed by somatics, Gestalt and systemic thinking.

The intention is not to give you more answers.

It is to help you become a more aware, thoughtful and resourceful practitioner.

​​

​

What approaches do I take?

 

I create a reflective space for us to work together to develop your professional practice. I base the supervision sessions around you and your clients with the guiding principle of "how is this going to benefit your client?"

 

I incorporate various tools, methods and models e.g. Hawkins' 7 Eyes/Lenses, Clutterbuck's 7 Conversations and Brief Solution work to name a few.

 

As a supervisor, I can be a mixture of supportive, advisory, and challenging to help you grow and develop as a coach.

Case studies 
​

Supervision case study  1

The coach felt lost in the middle of the coaching session and was unsure what to do.

We read through a transcript of their coaching session with the client and observed some developmental opportunities around establishing agreement  and  what could be done practically in future coaching session via the “Coaching Funnel”.

The coach felt more confident on what to do going forward.

​

Supervision case study  2

The coach felt frustrated that the client was not making quick enough progress.

We listened together to a recording of the coaching session and observed some developmental opportunities around actively listening to the words the clients was saying repeatedly.

The coach felt more self awareness about their presence.

 

Supervision case study  3

The coach was feeling “drained” after coaching her clients.

We used reflective tools to explore the “drained” feeling and themes emerged around ”doing the heavy lifting” so the client “gets value from the session”.

The coach felt supported around their wellbeing and reported greater impact in subsequent coaching sessions.
