What is Coaching Supervision?

Coaching supervision is a vital component for any coach seeking to elevate their practice and ensure the highest standards of coaching excellence.

The EMCC (European Mentoring and Coaching Centre) says that Supervision is a safe space for reflective dialogue with a practicing supervisor, supporting the supervisee’s practice, development and well-being. Supervision is a form of professional support for the practitioner and occurs separately from the interaction with the client. Supervision has a different meaning when used in a coaching context than in common, everyday speech. It does not refer to managing or overseeing someone’s work, and the supervisor is not present when the supervisee works with their client.

My simple definition of coaching supervision is coaching a coach on their coaching. It is primarily a dialogue relating to their practice, an opportunity to reflect on and make sense of actual client encounters. 

As is in coaching, it is important that the supervisor and the coach is a right fit. To learn more about my approach and discuss your needs book a Free Strategy Call with me.

What are The Benefits of Coaching Supervision?

Coaching supervision provides a reflective space where coaches can explore their experiences, gain insights, and receive feedback from a seasoned supervisor. This process fosters continuous professional development and helps maintain ethical and effective coaching practices.

Here are some key benefits of coaching supervision:

  1. Enhanced Self-Awareness: Supervision encourages coaches to reflect on their sessions, helping them become more aware of their strengths, areas for improvement, and any potential biases that may influence their coaching.
  2. Skill Development: Through regular supervision, coaches can learn new techniques and strategies, enriching their toolkit and enhancing their ability to support clients effectively.
  3. Ethical Practice: Supervision ensures that coaches adhere to professional standards and ethics, providing a safeguard for both the coach and the client.
  4. Support and Resilience: The coaching journey can be demanding. Supervision offers a supportive environment where coaches can discuss challenges, celebrate successes, and receive guidance, contributing to their overall resilience and well-being.
  5. Quality Assurance: Clients can be confident that they are receiving high-quality coaching from a professional committed to their own development and the effectiveness of their practice.

Biran is an amazing coach and trainer and has enabled me to be the highly-skilled coach that I am today. She trained me and 9 others from various socio-economic backgrounds and careers and really allowed me to become a real coach practitioner. I have learned the art of generative listening, powerful questioning, strong presence, and being true authentic self as a coach from her. She taught me that a coach "helps you help yourself." If you are looking to understand the real fundamentals of coaching & mentoring, I would highly recommend Biran! She will teach you in a relatable, transformative, enthusiastic and dynamic way!

Biran was my mentor coach and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as an exceptional coach, her style is professional and motivating, and she always seems to be able to unlock my thoughts with ease, especially when I am stuck. She has been, and will continue to be, a great resource in my career.

(....)Biran helped me to open my eyes by creating an amazing space in which I (and others) felt comfortable opening up and letting go. At times, when I felt slight resistance or confusion to new ideas, Biran recognised my discomfort reassuring me that it was OK. She helped by providing examples to explain and clarify things. She is incredibly knowledgeable in the field of coaching; both in terms of theory and practical application which she explained simply and without jargon, making it easy to understand. Biran is an extremely likeable person, very positive and encouraging. She asks empowering questions and explores the responses with you. As a mentor-coach she is excellent, her feedback is clear and incisive, and she fills in any gaps you may have using her deep knowledge.
Zoe Thornton
(....)Every interaction with Biran gives you a gift – whether this be a new perspective, confidence to experiment with something new or challenge to kick start something. I have worked with Biran in her capacity as learning development specialist, facilitator, coach and coaching supervisor. For me personally, what has been the most helpful is two-fold. Firstly, her passion for coaching and the safe environment she creates to practice. She creates the right balance of challenge and support to help you step outside your comfort zone and improve. Secondly, through her coaching supervision. As you practise to be a coach, you learn a lot about yourself. Biran has helped me to process this and understand the influence this may have on my coaching. It has been an absolute pleasure to go through my journey into the world of coaching with Biran and I cannot recommend her highly enough as someone to help you progress your coaching ambitions.
Michelle Rogers
Biran is exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about Coaching. She created an environment of trust and calmness which in my opinion leant itself to the best learning experience. Biran asked me some questions that came purely from her intuition and she hit the nail on the head, a true blessing when it comes to coaching. It was a real pleasure to work with Biran.

Biran has been a tremendous support on my journey as a transformational coach. Biran is both an amazing and engaging trainer as well as a caring and challenging mentor coach. She has helped me become a holistic and present coach. I really value Biran’s way of being both caring and challenging at the same time, while always keeping a positive mindset.
Dorte Bregnhøj
Working with Biran helped me to reflect deeply on the role I play as a coach and to develop and refine my practice. The experience of coach mentoring sessions with Biran challenged me to explore my coaching style and develop further confidence in myself through exploring my strengths and in which ways I can draw on them. It was a great adventure working with Biran, being simultaneously stretched, challenged and supported. I particularly liked some of the more explorative conversations we had around my values and what motivates me and Biran’s style in asking questions to deepen and promote new insights.
Adam Klug
I had the pleasure to be supported by Biran both as a trainer and as a coach. She has an impressive backpack full of coaching skills and tools, which helps you to realise breakthrough insights, but most of all she brings an exceptional emotional intelligence and warm personality to the table. Thanks to her, I was able to further expose “my iceberg” and take several personal development leaps. Very grateful that Biran crossed my path and I would definitely recommend working with her!

Leadership Loneliness is Real and Community Matters

December 1, 2025 No Comments

Leadership loneliness is everywhere at this time of year. In the last few weeks, I have heard it from HR directors, senior leaders, scale-up founders, strategy consultants and coaches. People who look confident and composed from the outside, yet quietly admit they are carrying more than ever. It is rarely dramatic. It is that low-level, constant sense of having to hold it all together on
