Supervision that actually supports the work – not just the paperwork
You already know supervision is an ethical requirement. You’re not here because someone told you to tick a box.
You’re here because you want supervision that’s worth picking up the phone for. A space where you can think clearly about difficult cases, say things you can’t say anywhere else, and finish the call feeling more grounded in your clinical judgement – not less.
That’s what I aim to offer.
With 25 years of full-time clinical practice behind me, I bring genuine depth to the supervisory relationship. I’ve sat with the complexity, the stuck cases, the ethical dilemmas, the moments where you genuinely don’t know what the right move is. Supervision with me is a place to work with all of that – not just report on it.
What supervision with me looks like
My approach integrates three functions – not a a rigid framework, but as a way of making sure the work stays both supported and grounded.
The supportive function
This is the foundation everything else rests on. Before anything else, supervision needs to be a space where you feel genuinely safe to bring what’s actually happening, including the parts that are professionally uncomfortable.
That means:
- A strong, trusting supervisory relationship built over time.
- Space to process the emotional weight of clinical work, not just the content of it.
- Your good practice recognised and named, not only the areas for development.
- Honest exploration of personal reactions, transference and countertransference.
- Clarity about where additional support might be useful.
The monitoring function
Ethical, effective practice needs more than a supportive ear. It also needs honest reflection on the work itself.
This includes:
- Thoughtful, constructive feedback – direct when it needs to be, always respectful.
- Gentle challenge where it serves your growth and your clients’ safety.
- Attention to ethical standards and professional responsibilities.
- A clear space to think through dilemmas without judgement.
The developmental function
Supervision is where clinical understanding deepens – not through instruction, but through careful reflection on real work.
We can explore:
- Your clients, their presenting patterns, and what’s happening beneath the surface.
- What’s working in the therapeutic relationship, and what isn’t.
- Your own responses, use of self, and developing clinical identity.
- How you conceptualise and make sense of the therapeutic process.
- Where your confidence is growing, and where it still needs room.
Who I work with
I offer supervision to qualified hypnotherapists who are committed to their ongoing professional development and want a supervisory relationship they can rely on.
I work with hypnotherapists on an ongoing basis, rather than offering ad hoc sessions. This isn’t a limitation – it’s a deliberate choice. The kind of supervision that actually serves you and your clients develops over time, through a relationship that has depth and continuity. One-off sessions don’t build that and feel like a tick box exercise.
If you’re looking for a supervisor you can settle into for the long-term, I’d be glad to hear from you.
