Supervision details

Supervision profile


I offer supportive, reflective supervision for qualified and newly qualified hypnotherapists, both online and in person in Guildford.

As an APHP-accredited clinical supervisor, I view supervision as an essential part of safe, ethical and effective practice. It provides a confidential space to explore client work, consider ethical or professional concerns, strengthen clinical skills and maintain appropriate boundaries.

My approach is collaborative, practical and non-judgemental. Supervision may include:

Reviewing client cases and therapeutic approaches
Exploring challenges, uncertainty or stuck points
Supporting ethical decision-making and risk management
Strengthening professional boundaries and confidence
Reflecting on the impact of clinical work
Identifying training and professional development needs
Supporting a sustainable and responsible practice
Supervision is not counselling or business coaching. Its primary purpose is to protect clients, support the practitioner and maintain high professional standards.

If you are looking for a supervisor and would like to discuss whether we would work well together, you are welcome to contact me for an initial conversation.
