Supervision details
I was fortunate enough to be supervised by David Newton – Senior Therapy Practitioner at the Clifton Practice in Bristol. David taught me how to get the very best from therapy practitioners and learned how to assist them with confidence/coaching to empower them to flourish and evolve.
Having trained in 2005, I have over 19 years direct full time clinical experience with clients and conducted thousands of hours in the consulting room. I became a supervisor in 2010 and I have well over 14 years direct experience of supervising other therapists 1:1 or in group, as well as other supervisors and senior supervisors.
Many Nurses, Mental Health Nurses, GPs, and NHS therapy practitioners choose to book in to see me as their preferred supervisor because of the specific and rather eclectic way I supervise, needless to say it is not dull or boring but erudite, fun, informative and sometimes inspiring - a similar style of how David Newton so effortlessly delivered.
I offer 1:1 Supervision face to face or via Zoom online booked at a prearranged time and payment in advance only.
Fees
Prepayment Supervision Fees for students and therapists 1:1 Face to Face or Zoom are: 1:1, Telephone, Zoom and Skype sessions are available.Telephone, Zoom and Skype sessions may be broken down into smaller sessions.
Once the cumulative total is 1 hour it is considered a full session and this will have used up your £60 prepayment for that hour.
I do not entertain requests for free information without paying the fee in advance. Supervision is not a free service and boundaries regarding this will be upheld. The knowledge and experience I have as a supervisor is a business service and will be treated as such.
Supervision Fee £60 I previously provided group supervision but this is not something that I currently offer. This was retracted for various reasons, mainly due to its huge success but I became far too busy.
I still partake in offering 1:1 supervision to a select few therapist practitioners, other supervisors and other senior supervisors that I have chosen to work with as applications for new graduates and those seeking supervision with me are currently closed as I have a full caseload and my fullest attention is required for that.
All good wishes,
Michael

The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members.
There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.
The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy.
In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.
A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.
Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC).
Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level.
All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
