Collaborative & Insightful Supervision for the Modern Hypnotherapist

As a therapist, you are your most important tool - but even the best tools need care and sharpening. I provide a supportive, collaborative space for both newly qualified and experienced hypnotherapists to explore their clinical work with confidence.

With over 30 years in the holistic and psychological fields, my supervision goes beyond "compliance".  I offer a 'Dual-Lens' approach: ensuring your clients receive the best care while ensuring you feel mentored, resilient, and inspired in your practice.

Why Supervise with me?

  • Diverse Modalities: Expert guidance across Clinical Hypnotherapy, and Psychotherapy.
  • Practice Growth: We don't just look at cases; we look at your journey as a practitioner.
  • Flexibility: Individual or group sessions held via secure video link.
  • Accredited Oversight: Fully recognised by the GHR, National Hypnotherapy Society, and APHP.

Practice Mentoring & Business Support

Having been self-employed and a business owner for many years, I understand that the "business" side of therapy can often feel like the toughest terrain to navigate.  Many people find it helpful to use part of our time to look at the practicalities of running a private practice - from transitioning from training to full-time work, to establishing passive income through tools like downloadable MP3s.

Your first Step 

Choosing a supervisor is a significant decision. I offer a free 30-minute 'Chemistry Call' where we can discuss your current practice, your preferred modalities, and how we can work together to help you reach your full potential as a therapist.

APHP
Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (APHP)

Each member of APHP has received thorough training in hypnosis and hypnotherapy, is competent and conscientious, and abides strictly by a code of ethics. There are four grades of membership: Licentiate (LAPHP), Registered Member (MAPHP), Accredited Member (MAPHP(acc.)) and Fellow (FAPHP), with the different categories standing for different levels of training and experience. The Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy is a member organisation of UKCHO (an umbrella body for the hypnotherapy profession in the United Kingdom).

CNHC
Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

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.

Hypnotherapy Society
National Hypnotherapy Society (Hypnotherapy Society)

The National Hypnotherapy Society is a Learned Society whose primary purpose is the advancement of the knowledge of hypnotherapy and the fostering of professional hypnotherapy expertise through training, accreditation and continued professional development of their members. The Society seeks to contribute to public wellbeing both through the use of hypnotherapy and by ensuring that hypnotherapists are safe, competent and ethical in practice.
