Abstract
The book promises the opportunity for an understanding and practice of coaching supervision which, rather than merely copying supervision practices from other complex helping professions, is based on a clear and consistent theory of change which is ‘isomorphic with and responsive to professional coaching’. The writing is accessible and engaging, making complex concepts easy to understand. The content is well-organised, featuring clear headings and summaries that aid navigation and comprehension, and reflective exercises are offered for more personalised learning. Valuable references at the end of each chapter further stimulate the interested reader.
