Coach Development

‘Learn your theories and techniques as well as you can and then be prepared to set them aside when you meet the miracle of the living soul in front of you’ – Carl Jung

Coach development for coaches who are serious about being the best they can be for their clients.

Qualifications & experience

I hold a Master Certified Coach (MCC) credential with the International Coach Federation (ICF), the ICF Mentor Coach Specialization (MCS), and I’m a past ICF assessor — so I have a close, practical understanding of what strong coaching looks like at every level.

I’ve also held senior roles within the ICF itself, including UK Chapter Chair, and contributed to shaping coaching supervision standards in collaboration with the AC, EMCC and AoEC — work recognised with a Coaching at Work award.

I’ve provided coach development since 2007.

Claire has a lovely warm, welcoming nature.  This, coupled with her supportive challenging coaching worked really well for me and my development or ’stretch’.  Her observations on my coaching sessions were particularly impactful as, together, we worked through some habits that had become unhelpful and looked at exchanging them for more helpful ways forward

Coach mentoring

 

Coaches often ask what the difference is between mentor coaching and supervision. Mentor coaching is what’s required for ICF credentialing — it involves observed coaching and feedback against the ICF core competencies, with a minimum of 10 hours required (at least 6 of those on coaching skills). Holding the ICF Mentor Coach Specialization (MCS), I have a clear view of what coaching looks like at ACC, PCC and MCC level.

Who it’s for:

  • coaches working towards ICF credentialing (ACC, PCC or MCC)
  • coaches starting out, wanting to build coaching skills before adding supervision
  • groups of 3–4 coaches wanting a cost-effective, shared option

Coach supervision

Supervision is reflective practice — a confidential, non-judgemental space to discuss your coaching work regularly with someone experienced in coaching, supervision, tools and techniques. It’s sometimes called “super-vision” — not about restriction but about expanding creativity and insight. Together, we reflect on your coaching, the coach-client relationship, and the wider organisations and environments you work within.

Who it’s for:

  • coaches with regular clients, wanting ongoing reflective practice
  • career or executive coaches, at any stage of experience
  • independent, associate, internal or external coaches within any type of organisation
  • groups of 3–4 coaches wanting a shared space for reflection and learning

Systemic supervision

As a trained systemic practitioner and supervisor, I offer supervision using systemic constellations, or “mapping.” This approach draws on the wider systemic principles for you and your work — not just you and your client, but all the systems you’re part of. It’s a way of expanding what supervision can reveal, incorporating principles from Bert Hellinger’s work on systemic “orders.”

Who it’s for:

  • coaches who have already completed training in systemic constellations
  • coaches and systemic practitioners wanting to explore the wider relational and systemic context behind their client work

If you’re ready to invest in your development as a coach, let’s have a conversation about what would suit you best.

There's also always an opportunity to consider and appreciate the wider system, integrate my learning from experience and plug it into my on-going practice. Put simply, It’s a Kind of Magic!
