Module 3

The Relational Approach

This module contains three sessions and a recorded supervision exercise. We introduce Proctor’s three functions of supervision: Normative, Formative and Restorative. The intention is to establish and embed essential supervision skills by the end of the first term, so that learners are set up for success.

Session

1

Parallel Process

Noticing, understanding and working explicitly with ‘parallel ‘process’.

Session

2

Psychodynamic Approach

Defence mechanisms, transference, counter-transference, projection, projective identification.

Session

3

The Relational Lens

Understanding Social Constructionism and a narrative interpretation of the self.

Module 4

Supervising Groups

We dedicate an entire module to the practice of supervising groups. This is a more sophisticated and complex practice requiring skills that go beyond supervision.

We provide opportunities for learners to explore a role
that combines pure supervision, facilitation of group dynamics, managing a process, and harnessing the collective intelligence of the members of the group.

Session

4

Groups: Practicalities

Creating the container and holding the space for groups of supervisees.

Session

5

Groups: Interpersonal Dynamics

Managing complex group dynamics and ensuring all group members benefit equally.

Session

6

Groups: Practice and Feedback

Taking risks, listening, valuing different perspectives, having real conversations.

Course Completion

2000 Word Assignment

Towards the end of this programme, we introduce the 2000-word essay. This is a reflective written exercise, including a case study, in which you consider your supervision journey so far and your identity as a supervisor.

Assessment

Assessment involves a comprehensive consideration of your participation in the learning journey as a whole and culminates in a final review with course faculty.

The reflective journals, session quizzes, community discussion comments, live contributions, feedback from supervisees, formal self-assessment and individualised faculty feedback all count towards validating your learning and underpin your certificate of completion.

On Completion of Part 2 (Modalities)...

On completion of this programme, you may choose to move straight on to Part 3, Your Professional Identity. Or you may decide to wait and join a future cohort. All three parts of the diploma programme act as standalone courses and may be joined by anyone who has previously completed the earlier elements.

Please note that individual accreditation as a coach at Senior Practitioner level is a pre-requisite for attendance on the third and final segment of the programme 

Online Learning Platform

We use a very user-friendly online learning platform which acts as a secure base for all the work that we do over the 12-month period.

All the handouts contained within the programme will be available here, along with homework assignments and space for community discussion.

The platform acts as a container for the learning journey undertaken by participants. Each module gets unlocked at the right time, and all learner requirements are made clear and visible.

Progress is indicated visually, and overdue tasks are highlighted.
Each module has a Community Discussion area where participants will share resources and reflections. Sessions are also followed up with a fun quiz

Online Learning Platform
The Diploma in Coaching Supervision program was an intense and inspiring journey. Tom and the team provide depth at different levels, from theoretical knowledge to reflexivity in the wider context. It has enriched me as a person, coach, and supervisor!
The programme to become an ESIA accredited supervisor has been a great experience, personally and professionally. I'd do it again. Be aware that the journey on this ship isn't a tropical, fully serviced, all-inclusive sunny cruise: you must do the work. But once you set forth, you’ll find yourself on a journey with lovely people and have a profound, unique and transformative experience.
The programme contains so many useful and surprising components needed to be a professional supervisor and role model! It is a huge enrichment for me as a master coach, and I look forward to applying this knowledge with other coaches and thus further professionalising the coaching profession.
