Supervision details
Hypnotherapy Supervision UK Online
Supervision is a collaborative professional relationship, not a managerial one. It provides a confidential setting in which to reflect upon your client work, consider ethical and professional questions, develop your skills and maintain a balanced perspective.
Private practice can sometimes be isolating; because therapists cannot discuss their work with friends or family, supervision offers an experienced and impartial sounding board. It can help you organise your thoughts, recognise patterns, consider different approaches and remain alert to the early signs of professional strain or burnout.
My aim as a supervisor is to support the continuing development of your:
Knowledge
Clinical competence
Professional judgement
Ethical practice
Confidence and self-awareness
I have particular experience in work involving anxiety, stress, low mood, fears and phobias, smoking cessation, pain, and clients who feel stuck or unable to move forward.
My therapeutic background includes clinical and Ericksonian hypnotherapy, cognitive and analytical approaches, BWRT®, EFT, NLP, IEMT, regression therapy and brief solution-focused methods. This breadth enables me to work constructively with therapists who use a variety of approaches, while respecting their own training, professional boundaries and preferred way of working.
I am an accredited Hypnotherapy Supervisor with the APHP and a registered supervisor with the GHR and ACCPH. I am also an accredited training provider, an author of advanced EFT training materials and co-author of Affirming Therapy: Working Successfully with LGBT+ Clients.
Supervision is available online.
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).
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.
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.
