Clinical Supervision for Hypnotherapists and Therapists

Reflective, Ethical and Insight-Oriented Supervision Using the Seven Eyed Model

Clinical supervision provides a professional space to reflect on your work, deepen your understanding and continue to grow as a therapist.

I offer supervision for hypnotherapists and therapists seeking a thoughtful, supportive and clinically grounded approach to their practice.

A Reflective Space for Professional Practice

Supervision is an essential part of safe and ethical therapeutic work.

It offers a confidential space to:

  • Reflect on client work in depth

  • Explore challenges and uncertainty

  • Develop clinical understanding

  • Maintain professional and ethical standards

  • Sustain yourself in demanding therapeutic work

This is not simply case discussion — it is a process of developing your capacity as a practitioner.

The Seven Eyed Model of Supervision

My supervision approach is informed by the Seven Eyed Model, developed by Peter Hawkins and Robin Shohet.

This model explores the therapeutic process across multiple perspectives, including:

  • The client and their experience

  • The interventions and therapeutic approach

  • The client–therapist relationship

  • The therapist’s internal responses

  • The supervisory relationship

  • The supervisor’s reflections

  • The wider organisational or systemic context

This allows supervision to move beyond technique, into deeper awareness and understanding.

My Approach to Supervision

My work is grounded in a client-centred and integrative approach, reflecting my broader therapeutic practice. 

Supervision with me is:

  • Thoughtful and reflective

  • Collaborative rather than directive

  • Clinically informed and evidence-based

  • Attuned to both the therapist and the client work

Drawing on my background in psychotherapy, hypnotherapy and trauma-informed approaches, I support you in developing both your thinking and your presence as a therapist.

Who I Work With

offer supervision to:

  • Hypnotherapists

  • Psychotherapists and counsellors

  • Trainee therapists

  • Practitioners working with anxiety, trauma and complex presentations

This reflects the range of work within my practice, including anxiety, trauma and behavioural change.

The Value of Supervision

Good supervision supports both the therapist and the client work.

It can help you to:

  • Develop clarity in complex cases

  • Recognise patterns within your work

  • Strengthen therapeutic relationships

  • Maintain ethical awareness

  • Reduce professional isolation

Over time, supervision becomes an essential part of your professional identity, not just a requirement.

Supervision as Ongoing Professional Development

Supervision is not only about maintaining standards — it is about continuing to develop as a therapist over time.

Through regular reflection, you deepen your understanding of both your clients and yourself, strengthening your ability to work effectively and sustainably.
