Supervision & Reflective Practice

Model-agnostic tools for deepening your reflective practice, getting more from supervision, and developing your inner supervisor. Works alongside any accreditation framework.

What's inside

This collection works on three levels: getting more from formal supervision, building your own reflective practice between sessions, and developing what some traditions call the 'inner supervisor' — your capacity to observe your own coaching in real time.

The programme covers six areas:

Making Supervision Work — Preparing effectively, using supervision time well, working with different supervision models, and getting what you actually need rather than what's comfortable.

Session Reflection — Structured frameworks for reflecting on coaching sessions: what happened, what you noticed in yourself, what you might do differently, and what patterns are emerging across sessions.

The Inner Supervisor — Developing real-time self-awareness during sessions: noticing your own reactions, assumptions, and impulses as they arise, and using that awareness to inform your coaching choices.

Reflective Writing — Using journaling as a developmental tool: structured prompts, free writing, and the specific reflective writing practices that deepen self-awareness over time.

Peer Reflection — Getting developmental value from conversations with other coaches: structured peer reflection formats, giving and receiving honest feedback, and building a reflective community.

Integration — Building a sustainable reflective practice that fits your life: designing your personal reflection rhythm and maintaining it when things get busy.

How to use this collection

As a structured programme, work through over eight to ten weeks. The arc builds from external supervision through structured reflection to internal self-awareness.

For supervision enhancement, use the Making Supervision Work and Session Reflection sections to transform how you prepare for and use supervision.

As ongoing practice, the reflective writing and peer reflection tools become part of your regular professional practice — use them between supervision sessions to maintain developmental momentum.
