Helen Tarokh

Hi! I’m Helen and I offer a bespoke professional supervision service for heads/principals. I’ve been working in the education sector for 33 years – as teacher, senior leader, advisory teacher, headteacher and external coach/supervisor. My training as a coach and supervisor, coupled with my headship experience mean I am well placed to provide supervision for heads.
Emotional agility (holding space for and validating emotions) is central to my work in all the services I provide, and it is particularly significant in headteacher supervision.
I have completed the following qualifications, which have helped me to grow and develop as a leader, coach and supervisor:
• MA in Education (specialising in special educational needs)
• National Professional Qualification for Executive Leadership (NPQEL).
• NPQH (National Professional Qualification for Headship)
• Associate Headteacher Programme
• Executive Coach/Mentor at Level 7 from the Institute of Leadership and Management.
• 60 hours of training in coaching supervision at Oxford Brookes University.
I strongly believe that it’s only possible to do the big job of educational leadership if you pay attention to yourself, regularly decompressing and refreshing your perspectives and continuing to develop your knowledge, skills and understanding.
