Further Reading: Tatiana Bachkirova on Coaching Supervision

Coaching looks simple until the coach's own blind spots start steering the session. Tatiana Bachkirova's work at Oxford Brookes treats that as a professional problem, not a personality flaw: supervision exists so coaches can examine self-deception, role, and the quality of their practice with someone who is not the client.

As Professor of Coaching Psychology and a founder of the International Conference on Coaching Supervision, she has helped move supervision from a borrowed counselling habit to a field with its own questions. Her writing asks what supervision is for, how it is actually used, and why psychotherapy models do not transfer cleanly once coaching becomes systemic.

For buyers of coaching, the useful test is ordinary. Does this coach have a supervisor, and can they talk about it without embarrassment? For coaches, Bachkirova's public pages are a serious alternative to slogan-level CPD.
