Clinical Supervision

Group supervision is an opportunity to get together with other practitioners and learn from your collective experience. In an often solitary profession, this can be a great way to meet other colleagues and reconnect within a group setting.

The topics covered are many and varied, and sessions are vibrant, engaging, supportive, inspiring and energising. You don’t have to have something to talk about in order to join group supervision – sometimes it is nice to just listen and learn!

The sessions are limited to a maximum of six participants to ensure everyone is able to discuss a topic of their choice. If you require more time to discuss a topic than might be available in a group session, consider booking a one-to-one session – details below.

All group supervision sessions are currently held online, last one hour, and cost £20 per person (payable in advance.)

Please pre-book for each session, either using the booking links above, or by getting on touch.

One-to-one Supervision:

One-to-one supervision is perfect for when you need more time to discuss in-depth aspects of your practice. In group supervision, time is necessarily limited per person to allow everyone to bring their discussion topics. One-to-one supervision can provide ample time and space to allow for deep and thorough personalised discussion.

 It could be the right choice for the following situations…

• complex client case work requiring more time to discuss and reflect
• sensitive or confidential issues not appropriate for sharing within a group
• detailed aspects of your own practice that require more time to discuss
• discission of your own progression as a practitioner – including training, specialising, etc.
• discussion regarding your business – starting up, growing, marketing strategies, etc.

 I offer one-to-one supervision in the following formats:

• 30 minutes – £35
• 60 minutes – £70

 This can be arranged as required, and can be in person at The Observatory, or via Zoom. One-to-one supervision allows you to have focused time to really explore your practice in depth. 

What Happens At Supervision?

• During supervision, practitioners can review their work in order to learn from experience and improve their practice. The focus is to achieve the best possible quality of service for clients.
• Practitioners are encouraged to examine their practice, and to recognise their strengths, as well as identifying areas for improvement and further development.
• You will discuss client cases (confidentiality is maintained), and any areas of your work or practice that you feel would be helpful to address.
• Supervision is also helpful to keep practitioners up to date with the latest developments within the field of therapy, and to discuss research and developments pertaining to practice.
• In group supervision you will learn a lot from other practitioners’ experiences too.
• All  sessions are engaging and supportive, with a focus on inspiring practitioners to become the best they can be.

What Types of Supervision Are Available?

At The Observatory Practice, we offer

• Group supervision sessions (online)
• One-to-one supervision sessions (arranged individually, online or in person)

For clinical hypnotheraopy, you can usually make up your required supervision hours from group or 1-2-1 sessions, or a mixture of both. Please ensure you check with your governing body regarding the number of hours of supervision they require of you each year.
