Why use a Health Coach Supervisor?
Organisations that are offering health coaching services have an obligation to provide effective and supportive health coaching supervision from a more senior and experienced member of staff who is also equipped with health coaching skills. They must support health coaches in their development and learning so that they deliver high quality services.
Practitioners should have access to regular supervision. This will depend on their role but may be monthly. It is good practice to have a mix of individual and group supervision. Health coaches should also have access to emergency supervision (ideally within 24 hours of an event) where this is needed, to have an opportunity to process a situation or event of concern or impact.
Our supervision processes are built around the following three characteristics:
- Formative – focussing on learning
- Normative – focussing on quality and standards
- Restorative – focussing on support and encouragement
We advocate the utilisation of the Donald Schon approach for developing practitioner reflexivity through a process of Reflection before Action, Reflection during Action and Reflection after Action. We embed this approach by showing health coaching supervisors how to encourage health coaches to reflect on their practice.
