Professional Counselling and Hypnotherapy Supervision

Our supervision utilises the 7-Eyed Model of Supervision to provide a comprehensive and reflective framework for supervision. This model allows for a multifaceted exploration of the supervisory relationship by examining various dimensions of the therapeutic process, including the client, the counsellor, the therapeutic relationship, and the broader context. Each of the seven “eyes” serves as a lens to ensure all aspects of the client’s experience and the counsellor’s development are thoroughly considered.

Drawing from Transactional Analysis (TA), our supervisor incorporates key concepts of ego states, transactions, and script analysis into supervision sessions. This approach allows counsellors to gain insight into their relational dynamics, enhancing their self-awareness and understanding of how their interactions with clients may be influenced by their own histories. By understanding these dynamics, our supervisor can support counsellors in developing healthier and more effective therapeutic relationships.

At Chameleon Therapy Centre, we adopt an integrative approach that combines various therapeutic modalities and techniques to meet the unique needs of each counsellor. This flexibility allows for exploration of different strategies and interventions, promoting professional growth and creativity in practice. Together, we can address specific challenges, refine skills, and encourage innovative approaches to counselling.

Through supervision sessions, our goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where counsellors feel empowered to reflect on their practice, receive constructive feedback, and explore their professional development.

Whether you are a qualified hypnotherapist or counsellor or in the process of training, our supervision sessions will help you grow, learn, and continuously improve your practice.

Enhancing Therapeutic Skills through Reflective Supervision

Supervision Is Not…
A Replacement for Therapy: Supervision is not a substitute for personal therapy. While it provides support and reflection on professional practice, it does not address the personal emotional issues that may arise in a therapist’s life. Therapists should seek individual therapy for their emotional needs.
A One-Way Process: Supervision is not a unilateral experience where the supervisor simply provides feedback. Instead, it’s a collaborative and interactive process where both the supervisor and the supervisee engage in open dialogue, exploring the nuances of clinical practice together.
Performance Evaluation: Counselling supervision is not merely a performance review or assessment of competence. While feedback is an integral part of the process, supervision focuses more on professional growth, learning, and skill enhancement rather than merely evaluating or judging a therapist’s abilities.

Strictly Clinical: Supervision is not limited to clinical discussions. It encompasses the exploration of personal growth, emotional responses, and the development of therapeutic identity. It values the holistic development of the therapist as a person, as well as a professional.
An Isolated Activity: Supervision is not an isolated event. It is part of an ongoing professional development journey. The insights and skills gained during supervision should be applied to practice and revisited in future sessions.
Passive Listening: Supervision is not about passive listening to the supervisor’s guidance. Instead, it encourages active participation from the supervisee, promoting critical thinking, reflection, and the exploration of different perspectives.
Limited to Technique Application: Supervision is not solely about the application of clinical techniques. It involves understanding the underlying theories, emotional dynamics, and ethical considerations that inform therapeutic work.
A Fix for All Problems: Supervision is not a quick fix for all professional challenges. While it can provide guidance and support, meaningful change and development require time, commitment, and active participation in the supervisory process.

By understanding what supervision is not, therapists can better appreciate its role, engage more fully in the process, and maximize the benefits of supervision for their professional growth and effectiveness.

At Chameleon Therapy Centre, we believe that effective supervision is essential for the continuous development of therapeutic skills. Our Reflective Supervision approach provides a rich, supportive environment where therapists can explore their experiences and challenges in-depth. This process encourages self-reflection, critical thinking, and emotional insights that are vital for professional growth.

Reflective supervision allows therapists to examine their therapeutic practices, client interactions, and personal responses in a safe and constructive setting. By engaging in thoughtful discussions, therapists can gain new perspectives on their work, identify areas for improvement, and celebrate their successes. This reflective process not only enhances clinical skills but also fosters greater self-awareness and confidence.
