What Supervision do I need for my Mental Health Coaching?

What are the requirements for Mental Health Coaches?

You must undergo 4 x supervision sessions per year. We recommend that Mental Health coaching supervision is undertaken with a registered psychologist or a health professional with specific training in supervision. Sharon Tomkins, Anna De Valk, Sonya English and Sophia Dawson are all recommended.

Here are links to their respective websites/contact details:
