Hypnotherapy Supervision

Supervision for hypnotherapists and practitioners using hypnosis

Are you looking to enhance your skills and grow your practice? I offer online hypnotherapy supervision to help you provide the best care for your clients while supporting your development. 

Whether you’re a trainee, newly qualified, or an experienced therapist, I can provide the guidance you need to feel confident and capable as a practitioner.

Supervision offers a chance to celebrate achievements, work through challenges, and maintain ethical, compassionate practice. I create a collaborative space for you to discuss client cases, explore therapeutic approaches, and develop your abilities.

I offer my supervisees a psychologically safe space to share their work so they can share progress, explore challenges, and feel good about their professional development.

My approach to hypnotherapy supervision

My supervision draws on an integrative, pluralistic framework, incorporating hypno-psychotherapeutic counselling and Ericksonian, analytical, and suggestion hypnotherapy. I am also trained in and offer therapy using person-centred, psychodynamic, somatic, and mindfulness approaches. This allows me to support you in developing an adaptive, tailored approach to hypnotherapy.




I am a registered acknowledged supervisor with the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR). I work within the standards of practice and code of ethics set by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC).

What is hypnotherapy supervision?

There’s no single definition of supervision. The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) defines supervision as:

A working alliance between the supervisor and counsellor in which the counsellor can offer an account or recording of her work; reflect on it; receive feedback and, where appropriate, guidance. The object of this alliance is to enable the counsellor to gain in ethical competence, confidence, compassion and creativity in order to give her best possible services to the client.

Benefits of hypnotherapy supervision

Hypnotherapy supervision can provide many benefits for mental health practitioners, including:

  • Professional development - Therapy supervision can help therapists develop professionally by identifying areas for improvement and creating goals for growth. It can also help therapists stay up-to-date with the latest research and best practices in their field.

  • Ethical guidance - Therapy supervision can help therapists navigate complex ethical issues that may arise in their practice. Supervisors can provide guidance and support in making difficult decisions, ensuring that the therapist adheres to ethical standards.

  • Emotional support - Working as a therapist can be emotionally challenging, and therapy supervision can provide a safe and supportive space for therapists to discuss their feelings and experiences. This can help prevent burnout and promote self-care.

  • Skill development - Therapy supervision provides an opportunity for therapists to develop and refine their clinical skills. It allows them to receive feedback on their work and learn new techniques and approaches to improve their practice.

  • Accountability - Therapy supervision provides a system of accountability, ensuring that therapists are providing high-quality care and adhering to ethical standards. It can also help therapists stay on track with their goals and responsibilities.

What is the difference between supervision and therapy?

Therapy provides an opportunity for the client to explore and resolve issues related to their mental health, personal development, and well-being. Therapy exists in the best interest of the client.

Supervision offers guidance and support for the therapist’s professional development and practice. A key aspect of supervision is that it exists to protect the client of the therapist that is under supervision.

If a therapist is reminded of personal issues in their professional work, it is important that they bring these issues to personal therapy. They might mention this in supervision and discuss it with their supervisor. They can take the issue to personal therapy for deeper exploration. By working through these issues in a separate space, the therapist can be fully present for their clients.
