Tracey Hartshorn

Throughout several supervision sessions with Tracey for my coaching practice, I've found her to be supportive, thoughtful, encouraging and knowledgeable. I particularly like that she has experience of both the coaching and therapy worlds to inform her supervision. I greatly value the supervision sessions we have.

I have benefited a great deal from my supervision with Tracey. She provides me with the perfect mix of support, wisdom and challenge that I need as I navigate my work as a therapeutic coach. I always leave our supervision sessions feeling that I have gained in skills and knowledge as well as in confidence. Supervision with Tracey has helped me in all aspects of my coaching practice. From guidance on best practice and growing my business to how to work safely with challenging clients, Tracey has flexed skillfully to respond to whatever I bring to the session. The quality of my coaching has improved significantly since I began supervision with her and I'm grateful to have her as my supervisor.

I found Tracey after attending one of her courses on therapeutic coaching and I instinctively knew that Tracey's blend of vast therapeutic experience, coaching expertise and pragmatic approach, would offer rich and valuable supervision. That was over a year ago and we've been working together since. I get so much from my supervision sessions and would not be without them. I have a sounding board for some of my more complex coaching cases, a safe place to bring my feelings, reflections and reactions and an hour of exploring, learning and affirming. Some words to sum up Tracey are: non-judgemental, empathetic, gently challenging, reflective, kind and experienced. I'm very pleased our paths crossed, that we have great alignment and I have quality supervision to draw from as part of my continuing professional development.

Tracey provided coaching to me in 2021 while I was CEO of a small charity. She offered a flexible and open space where I could bring whatever I needed to speak about whether that was how I was feeling or practical, relational, or strategic matters. It was a challenging time as we were merging with another larger charity and I was managing this with virtually no support other than my sessions with Tracey as well as the day to day running of the agency. Tracey often provided a different way of looking at things as well as tools to help me, but was never prescriptive. I would recommend her as a coach and mentor. Laura Payne

Tracey is calm, attuned,and very perceptive. I chose to work with Tracey as my supervisor because of her dual qualification and background which in line with my way of working as a therapeutic coach and I felt confident in her approach and style after attending an online course she delivered. Tracey is professional, yet warm, and I always feel that her input as a supervisor is well-considered and appropriately challenging.
