Supervision

I am an experienced integrative counsellor and hypnotherapist, also offering professional supervision for hypnotherapists. I am dedicated to fostering a supportive and reflective environment where hypnotherapists can enhance their practice, address challenges, and continue their professional development. I am currently undertaking training in counselling supervision and will also be able to offer this in the Autumn.

I work with in the CRAFTS Model of Supervision.

CRAFTS Model of Supervision 

Creativity: I integrate creative methods into my supervision process, to encourages thinking outside the box, giving depth, and exploring new perspectives, by using art mediums, imagery, colours, or other imaginative methods to enhance the therapeutic supervisory experience. Together we will explore your client work on a deeper level making unconscious aspects conscious.

Reflective: I encourage reflective practice during and between our supervision sessions. We will reflect on what went well, what could have gone better? This includes exploring your own thoughts, feelings, and reactions to client interactions, utilizing aspects of Proctor’s Model’s focus on self-awareness and personal development. Together exploring the impact of the work on you and ensure the necessary psychological support and scaffolding required to support you in this.

Awareness: Working together increasing awareness within supervision, in alignment with the Seven-Eyed Model. Exploring aspects of self, parallel process, transference, and countertransference. Keeping in mind various aspects, including the client’s feelings, your responses, the relationship dynamics, and the broader systemic influences. We will also address ethics and legal aspects.

Focused: We collaborate on an agenda to focus the sessions, if necessary, bringing sessions back to the client work/identify areas of development, and explore personal bias and beliefs.  I will support you to recognises any defence mechanisms and offer constructive feedback and challenges when appropriate. Supervision remains goal-oriented and purposeful, ensuring that we both focus on the main goal- making sure that the clients, are getting the best care possible. In addition to supporting your development, learning, and handling tough situations effectively.

Transformative: What are the transformations/key takeaways/learnings are there for the supervisee.  Developing best practice and maintaining professional standards. Highlighting the potential for personal and professional transformation through the supervisory process. Fostering your autonomy increasing personal growth, skills development, and positive change, creating positive therapeutic change for clients through the process.

Systemic: We highlight and acknowledging the interconnectedness of individuals and their surrounding environments, aligning with the systemic perspective in the Seven-Eyed Model. Together we will explore the wider context, including but not exclusively the social dynamics, ghosts, stakeholders, and various cultural influences which impact the therapeutic process.

This integrated creative model approach aims to provide not only reflective, educational, and culturally sensitive supervision but also a compassionate space that acknowledges the humanity in both your professional and personal experiences and offers a bespoke approach to supervision.

With that in mind I would suggest you have colours pens and paper ready for each supervision session, I may also suggest other creative mediums.

Working With Me:

In my supervision practice, I am committed to creating a collaborative and reflective space where supervisees feel supported and empowered to explore their therapeutic work. My integrative approach ensures that supervision is tailored to each individual’s needs, combining various models and techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes.

I am aware that requirements are different from one professional association to another so I would like an initial consultation with you via phone or online which will only take 15 minutes (free of charge) to establish how long and how often you need your supervision sessions to be.

I charge £40 per hour for hypnotherapy supervision and this includes text/email support for that following month.
