Alanna Henry FCIPD
Reflective Practice Supervision for lawyers | Executive coach
For more than twenty years, Alanna has worked alongside people who carry significant responsibility: lawyers in practice, and the CEOs, boards and executive teams who lead organisations.
Her supervision practice is rooted in family law. She holds a Diploma in Family Law Supervision from FLiP Faculty and has supervised many family lawyers and barristers. She now supervises lawyers across all areas of legal practice.
Her supervision offers an independent space to reflect on practice, professional judgement and responsibility.
Her coaching draws on senior leadership from the inside. She spent 15 years at the John Lewis Partnership in operational leadership and organisational development, then worked across the NHS and charity sector. She has served as a Chief People Officer, including in the property sector, and chaired a People and Remuneration Committee. She is also a non-executive director and a trustee. As an ICF-accredited executive coach, she has coached CEOs and executive teams through transformation, acquisition and restructuring.
Two disciplines, one approach: warm, thoughtful and constructively challenging, with confidentiality at its heart.

Client Testimonials
SUPERVISION TESTIMONIAL
"Your wisdom and support has been a game changer for me. I thought at my age I knew what I thought about pretty much anything, but during our sessions I had several instances of having to take a breath and really soul-search for my view or reaction, which was so refreshing. You have such a great balance of challenging, but gently and in a supportive, non-judgemental way, and always making it clear why you were challenging."
