Supervision is a lifelong companion to:
I have over 2000 hours of coaching under my belt. My clients are mainly executives working in global corporations.
For years, I coached without supervision, not even knowing it existed.
I quickly realised that real live did not look and feel like what I'd learnt in my coach training. I also became bitterly aware that learning from my mistakes only was very expensive :
Over the years, I have build a supervision team that has evolved with time, experience and training. I have been supervised by : Julia Carden, Duncan Coppock, Karen Foy, Emmanuelle Piquet, Séverine Pluvinage et Jean-Jacques Wittezaele.
Since 2020, I've been writing about my systemic coaching practice in my blog.
A few loyal readers started asking me to supervise them. That prompted me to train myself as a supervisor, to provide them with the professional, emotional and ethical support they were asking for. I've always wanted to do a serious job without taking myself too seriously, as I have terrible memories of infantilising and judgmental supervision (not from the supervisors I mentioned above !)
As you might have already gathered - and maybe read in the Newsletter I publish on LinkedIn (in French), my ambition is to support you to :
My preferred coaching approach is the Systemic and Strategic approach (aka Palo Alto School). Read more about my coaching principles
I am also trained into "classical" coaching that meets the ICF competency model, and I have learnt to supervise with the 7-eyed modelJ’ai également été formée au coaching « classique » d’après le modèle de compétences de coaching de l’ICF. Enfin, j’ai appris à superviser avec le 7-eyed model, underpinning the EMCC supervision competency model.
This enables me to supervise coaches using different coaching models and approaches.
I've been coaching for over 20 years and I am currently studying to become a Certified Coach Supervisor at Henley Business School
I intend to become a certified Supervisor by the EMCC at the end of 2023 (certificate + >50 hours of supervision practice).

There are 3 main criteria, in my opinion. Your needs might change over time and experience: listen to yourself carefully! I invite you to come and meet me to clarify your expectations and options.
Individual supervision is centered on you and your practice.
In group supervision time and attention are shared among the participants.
Individual supervision allows you to get immediate help when you need it.
Group supervision is a regular, scheduled moment, dedicated to your development as a coach.
Individual supervision is a space where you can bring intimate topics without fearing other people's judgment.
Group supervision is a shared space, where coaches benefit from their peers' experiences and points of view. I invest a lot of time in group dynamics, so everyone feels safe and valued.
In both cases of course, confidentiality is guaranteed.
The supervision relationship is a trust-based, lasting relationship. But lasting doesn't mean forever: I consider it healthy to change supervisor to meet your development needs. I have several supervisors myself and I have changed over time as my experience and maturity have grown.
One doesn't choose a supervisor and they would choose a coach. Here are 2 key questions I find helpful:
The situations we encounter in real life almost never look and feel like what we've learnt in the safe space of a training session. We find ourselves alone to address multiple challenges:
The coaching relationship is about the coach and their client, the coachée. The supervision relationship includes the coach-coachee relationship and encompasses the coach-supervisor relationship.
👉 To coaching, the coaches come on their own. To supervision, they bring their clients.
Supervision is part of personal development, insofar as it helps you identify the situations in which you are more or less comfortable, the relational patterns that tend to come back in your professional practice, your strengths and vulnerabilities. All this is part of your coach identity and helps you become your own coaching instrument.
That said, supervision does not have a therapeutic aim. At least, my supervision doesn't.
👉 I am available and trained to help you take care of yourself, not to cure you.
Let's meet!
