Supervision in Plymouth and Online
Whether you’re looking for in-person counselling supervision or hypnotherapy supervision in Plymouth, or prefer the flexibility of meeting online via Zoom, I offer a collaborative and supportive space to reflect on your work.
Together, we can explore client material, ethical dilemmas, CPD goals, and the realities of running a private practice — all with the aim of helping you offer the best service to your clients, while looking after yourself too.
