Certificate in Supervision for Coaching & Consultancy 2027: Singapore/Asia

Supervision provides a safe space to think, reflect, study and explore the supervisory relationship and praxis. The role of supervisor is crucial in providing a space for reflection and a ‘meta’ perspective on the whole system of supervisor / client / client organisation and the dynamics between each element. It is a place of ‘reverie’ in the Bionic sense of providing opportunities for letting go, working with not knowing and dreaming. 

For the coach or consultant, the supervisor serves as a dynamic constant, providing support and stability in a complex environment.

Curious? book a call

Our Certificate in Supervision for Coaching & Consultancy is based on the Tavistock Models of systems psychodynamics, open systems theory, and theories of identity and difference; rooted in experiential learning.

Who is this programme for? 

The Certificate in Supervision for Coaching & Consultancy is designed for experienced - and preferably certified - coaches and consultants who wish to become a supervisor. It is also suitable for current supervisors who wish to deepen their understanding and enhance their practice while gaining an internationally recognised certificate. Participants who complete the requirements of this programme will be awarded a Certificate in Supervision for Coaching and Consultancy by the Tavistock Institute.

Previous participants have come from a variety of backgrounds, coaching and consulting in today’s world where what has been considered a standard or ‘normal’ way of working has been dramatically challenged and changed; where the need for containment and resilience is amplified; where anxiety has reduced our capacity to adapt and engage imaginatively.

The value of taking this Certificate in Supervision for Coaching & Consultancy

The creative interaction between a supervisor and a supervisee/s is stimulated and enriched by ideas, models, theories, and the intuitive reaction of both parties. Working with the theories introduced in the programme coupled with here-and-now experiences of the participants in the group, perspectives into the supervisee’s system are unlocked, new attitudes found, and previously unthought paths may be revealed.

Outline of the Programme

The programme is non-residential and delivered in-person in Singapore over 4 days from Tuesday to Friday. In addition, there will be three 2-hour virtual sessions.
