"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." - African proverb
As an ICF Master Certified Coach with 22 years and 4,000 hours of experience, and who has taught coaching in industry and at Chicago Booth Business School, I'm at a point in my life where I want to contribute to other coaches and to the coaching profession. I do this through both coach supervision and coach mentoring. I'd love to support you.

Work with meSupervision for coaches
Coach supervision takes a broad, holistic approach to a coach's professional development and practice, with the supervisor working with the coach as a whole being, helping them become more conscious of where they might become 'caught' with a client due to their own mindsets, emotions and reactivity. Supervision helps the coach see themselves and the client 'in relationship' and also helps expand this knowledge out into the client system, seeking to understand the clients behaviour in light of where they are placed in the organisation or culture.
Why might you engage a supervisor? If you want to ensure that you are evolving as a coach, serving your clients in the best way and constantly increasing your skills and awareness, coach supervision is an ideal relationship of respect and development. Supervision is for new coaches and wise, established coaches alike.
What does a session look like? You bring a 'situation' to each session. This could be something you felt didn't go well in a coaching session, or somewhere you are stuck or just an area where you feel there is some growth possible and we discuss for one hour, ending in some practices to employ in future sessions.
What is my supervision approach? I use the ICF framework for coaching skills insight but also two psychological frameworks for coach self-awareness and knowledge, IFS and Psychosynthesis and two systemic frameworks/approaches for deepening understanding of the larger context you and you clients work in; Organisational Constellations and Barry Oshry's Power & Systems work.
How much does it cost? Each one hour session costs £200 plus VAT (UK)
How long should we work together? Best practice suggests meeting with your supervisor monthly but let's discuss what might work best for you.

Coach Mentoring
Coach mentoring is primarily focused on developing specific coaching skills and competencies, often in alignment with professional standards set by organisations like the International Coach Federation (ICF). I am an ICF MCC (Master Certified Coach) and Mentor Coach.
Key aspects of coach mentoring include:
- Skill development: Focuses on improving the coach's ability to demonstrate specific competencies
- Credential preparation: Often used to help coaches prepare for accreditation or certification
- Observed practice: Typically involves reviewing recorded or live coaching sessions
- Feedback-driven: Provides specific feedback on the coach's performance against established criteria
- Time-limited: Usually occurs over a defined period
I have mentored over 125 coaches to successful ICF assessment through the Henley Business School Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching as well as privately, and would love to help you with your accreditation process.
Why might you engage a mentor coach? If you are applying for certification with the International Coach Federation you will need 10 hours of mentor coaching, 3 hours of which need to be one to one.
What does a session look like? You send me a transcript of a recording of a coaching session, 30 - 45 mins long, and I review this against the ICF competencies, at the level of accreditation you are applying for (ACC, PCC or MCC). We then meet for 60 mins and I give you feedback on where your strengths are and where you still need to develop in order to achieve the accreditation.
How much does it cost? Each session costs £200 plus VAT.
How long should we work together? I can provide all 10 hours of your ICF required mentoring hours. Or just the 3 that need to be one to one.
