Clinical Supervision

What is Supervision?

In the context of clinical hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and other mental health services, supervision is a vital component of professional development and ensuring quality of care. It involves structured support and guidance for therapists, tailored to their career stage and needs.

Forms of Supervision:

  • One-to-One Supervision: The most traditional approach, where a single supervisor focuses on the supervisee’s case discussions, skill development, ethical considerations, and professional growth.

 

  • Small Group Supervision: Involves one supervisor guiding a group of up to four professionals. This format fosters peer learning and collaborative insights. Participants may count 50% of the time spent in group supervision towards their required supervision hours.

 

  • Peer Supervision: Accredited members may engage in peer supervision; however, it is strongly recommended that they also seek regular supervision from an experienced supervisor.

Supervision Requirements for Members

  • Client Work: All client-facing work must be supported by supervision.

 

  • Regular Supervision: All registered members are required to engage in consistent clinical supervision to maintain professional standards and ensure ethical practice.
