Dr Gillian Stevens

Until September 2024, I was the Academic Director for Coaching at University of Cambridge Professional and Continuing Education (PACE) where I was responsible for the delivery of the portfolio of coaching courses. One of my key achievements as Academic Director was the successful development and launch of the MSt in Coaching. I left the full-time employment of the University in September 2024 and my coaching practice now focuses on running coach training courses and coach supervision work. I still have a relationship with the University of Cambridge through my Associate Fellowship with Homerton College. 

Before joining PACE I lived and worked in the Philippines for 5 years where I was deeply involved in the world of coaching and coach development training whilst teaching Human Behaviour in Organisations at the Asian Institute of Management, (AIM) in Manila, Philippines. Prior to going to the Philippines, I ran my own leadership and coaching consultancy.

I am a professionally qualified coach and coach supervisor and recently earned the Diploma in Supervision from the Gestalt Centre in London. I gained most of my coaching experience in the corporate world working with a range of organisations, generations and cultures. As a coach and supervisor I draw on different approaches, tools and techniques which are underpinned by various coaching theories and frameworks.

My coaching work now focuses on coaching supervision where I offer coaches space, time and support to reflect on deepening their understanding of their coaching practice. My work also helps coaches to become more aware of and sensitive to their intuition and builds on the work of my PhD when I studied the role and development of intuition in the context of the management problem-solving process.
