Supervision is a vital checking in process for therapists and I am delighted to be able to provide supervision services for hypnotherapists. For trainees or recently qualified hypnotherapists, supervision is your opportunity to gain advice and support about building your practice and the clients you are working with, particularly if any of your clients are challenging or have complex needs. For experienced hypnotherapists, supervision is very much about checking in, making use of a sounding board and being provided with a fresh perspective.

Whether you are new to being a hypnotherapist or have many years of experience, supervision is also about making sure you are working within your boundaries and the scope of your professional membership body's code of ethics. As your supervisor I can help you with your professional development.

Supervision is a collaboration and my role is to support and inspire you in your work. I will guide you in reflecting on the work you have done with your clients, discuss any concerns or problems you are having, and support you in looking at training needs.

As a supervisor I am friendly, empathetic, non-judgemental and all about being there for you. My qualification is a Certificate in Hypnotherapy Supervision. The training is recognised by the General Hypnotherapy Register and as a supervisor I am accredited by the National Hypnotherapy Society.

Each supervision session will be documented and I will keep accurate records. A written summary will be sent to you after each supervision session and I am able to provide a report for your professional membership organisation if required annually or as part of a review process.

Appointments can take place in person at my clinic in Leamington Spa or by video call. The number of hours of supervision you require will depend on which professional membership body you are registered with. As a general rule, the following hours are recommended:

• National Hypnotherapy Society 1.5 hours per month for therapists in full time practice.
• General Hypnotherapy Register A minimum of 2 hours in a three month period during the first two years of practice. Then it becomes voluntary.
• National Council for Hypnotherapy A minimum of 30 minutes per month or 6 hours per year during the first three years of practice. Then it becomes voluntary.

Other factors will also determine how much supervision you have. The type of clients your work with, your level of experience, and whether you are in full time or part time practice will play a part in how much supervision you take part in. Please contact me if you wish to discuss how much supervision you would need.

Supervision sessions typically last for 60 or 90 minutes, dpending on your requirements. The cost is: £60 for qualified hypnotherapists £30 for trainee hypnotherapists.
