We are delighted to launch our new coaching psychology supervision postgraduate certificate. The course is designed to help you acquire the knowledge and skills required to supervise in various professional contexts, such as coaching, mentoring, education, social work, nursing, medicine, business, law, youth work, community services or mental health services. It is aimed at coaches and professional with coaching training who wish to develop and enhance their continuing personal and professional development alongside their supervisory skills and practice.

For experienced coaches, becoming a trained coaching psychology supervisor is the next step in terms of professional development. As a coaching psychology supervisor, you will combine your professional knowledge and experience with a range of theories and skills to support the development of novice and trained coaches alike.

For other professionals, and as organisations start to recognise the value of supervision, it is increasingly expected that those who take on a supervisory role have a qualification. As is the case with coaching itself, there has been a rapid increase of coaching supervision accreditations of variable reliability. The School of Psychology at UEL offers an evidence-based approach grounded in the most up-to-date theories in the field.

This postgraduate certificate will help you to understand the purpose and principles of coaching psychology supervision and to make critical judgements on the application of various supervision models and techniques required for professional practice.

We are in support of promoting equality, diversity and inclusion by our mode of delivery (i.e., monthly Friday evening and Saturday day block sessions), as this allows a broader range of working professionals to participate.

About this course

This course is designed to allow you to develop and demonstrate an understanding of both the art and science of coaching psychology supervision. It aims to support coaches and other professionals with supervisory responsibilities who wish to incorporate coaching psychology supervision into their career portfolio. The course provides the foundation for students wishing to apply the principles of coaching psychology supervision toward their existing or future professional practice in the domains of professional coaching and corporate, education, health, charity or community sectors.

You will learn the principles, the process and the structure of coaching supervision. You will critically review some of the main theories and concepts in coaching psychology supervision and develop and demonstrate skills which can be applied directly in peer supervision and in either one-to-one or group-based coaching supervision.

Coaching has been an area of extensive development throughout the last twenty years. In response to this, there has also been growth in the advocacy for coaching psychology supervision. This course will enhance your coaching knowledge and skills whilst becoming part of your overall personal and professional development.

Moreover, if you aspire to work as a supervisor for coaches and other professionals in either one-to-one or group settings, then this course will position you on firm footing, in terms of achieving this goal. Once qualified, you will be able to continue receiving supervision and accruing hours of practice and experience whilst pursuing accreditation and, ultimately, offering coaching supervision as one of your services.

This training is well-positioned to help you upskill in terms of supervision models, strategies and techniques which you will be able to follow and/or customise. Whatever your present and future roles and responsibilities, you will find yourself equipped to use an array of analytical and critical-thinking skills. You’ll also identify, select and apply a set of reflective-practice competences which are consistent with an evidence-based approach to coaching psychology supervision in various settings and contexts.

Minimum 2:2 Honours

This course is accredited by the European Mentoring Coaching Council (EMCC) with the Supervision Quality Award (under validation). If you are interested in becoming a coaching psychology supervisor and wish to learn more about training requirements, please contact us.

WHAT YOU'LL STUDY AND WHEN

YEAR 1
  • Understanding the theory and practice of coaching psychology supervision - Core
Evidence-Based Practice in Coaching Psychology Supervision: Personal and Professional Development - CoreThe full Postgraduate Certificate training comprises two core modules, either of which can also be taken independently as stand-alone short courses which are titled similarly to the modules.

In the module ‘Understanding the Theory and Practice of Coaching Psychology Supervision’ (or in the similarly-titled short course whose content is equivalent), a strong emphasis will be placed on equipping you to critically reflect on the theoretical and research underpinnings of coaching psychology supervision. Having acquired an introduction to these matters, you will be encouraged to reflect on your own approaches toward supervision as you experience and practice a carefully curated array of skills and techniques associated with coaching supervision. The module will present a wide variety of coaching supervision techniques, approaches and experiments, including innovative arts-based creative tools.

Whilst making various personal and professional discoveries, you will be introduced to the application of supervision by regularly participating in safe practice opportunities in threes – comprising a supervisor, supervisee and observer (or 'shadow supervisor') who will offer feedback – alongside group supervision with other participants in the course. As an option, you will regularly observe live group coaching supervision sessions, followed by a guided reflection with the supervisor.

In the module ‘Evidence-Based Practice in Coaching Psychology Supervision: Personal and Professional Development’ (or in the similarly-titled short course whose content is equivalent), the emphasis is placed on applying in practice your critical reflections on your own approaches to supervision, with the opportunity to experience and practise new skills and techniques associated with coaching supervision.

Whilst putting into practice an array of personal and professional discoveries, you will increase your confidence in making a set of critical judgments on the application of evidence-based approaches to one-to-one and group supervision in different professional contexts. You will also become familiar and critically analyse the most recent research in coaching psychology supervision.
