FIND AN NLP SUPERVISOR
Clinical Supervision is a fantastic way to learn tools, gain experience and get professional input that will help you to be a better Coach or Therapist. Most NLPers do not get trained on what specifically to do with their clients - this comes with time and experience, however with the use of a Supervisor this can often be fast tracked.
In 2004 the NLPAA began to align with other allied health modalities where therapists, counsellors and coaches are required to receive Professional Supervision to gain experience and develop skills as a Clinician. Most NLP trained professionals do not receive extensive training about working specifically with individuals, administrative and reporting requirements for working with clients, aspects of transference and client skill development. Generally, NLP Practitioner and Master Practitioner teaches tools to use with clients but not necessarily when to use those tools. The NLPAA requires our Professional Members to participate in a minimum of 10 hours of Supervision per year. This is reportable to the NLPAA at the time of renewal each year by 1 July. Perhaps a better word for some NLPers instead of a Supervisor is a Mentor. Someone to help you grow your skills with clients personally and professionally. Even seasoned NLP Clinicians require supervision for Professional Membership and continual growth of their skills. |

NLP Supervision FAQQ: What is supervision? A: The short answer - Clinical Supervision is a fantastic way to learn tools, gain experience and get professional input that will help you to be a better Coach or Therapist. Most NLPers do not get trained on what specifically to do with their clients - this comes with time and experience, however with the use of a Supervisor this can often be fast tracked.
Q: What happens in a Supervision session? A: Some people think Supervision means that someone is sitting beside you while you are working with a client - this rarely happens. Generally you will meet with your Supervisor and discuss your clients in a confidential manner. Your Supervisor will help you to identify patterns to work on with your clients, NLP tools to use and how best to get the best outcome for your clients. You may also discuss business issues such as administrative tasks, marketing, scheduling and time management. From time to time, your Supervisor might conduct some NLP processes with you to ensure you are in the best state of mind to work with clients. A Supervisor may ask you to video or audio record a session with your client so you can both review your skills and the client needs. Ultimately, what happens in the session is largely up to you and your Supervisor.
Q: How is supervision conducted? A: Supervision take form either in a group setting or one-on-one. This can be online or in person. Often we see groups or individuals confidentially discussing client issues, self care, marketing related topics, and ethics. The NLPAA run supervision groups are held online via Zoom.
Q: I'm a new Coach/Therapist, when should I start getting Supervision? A: Once you are thinking about working with clients regularly this would be a good time to start Supervision. Although Supervision is only required for NLPAA Professional Members, it is highly recommended for anyone using NLP as a Therapist or Coach to work with a Supervisor to help gain skills and learn good practices and habits.
Q: Who can I get supervision with? A: The NLPAA recognises two types of Supervisors: 1) A Certified Supervisor - this Supervisor will have a minimum of 5 years of NLP clinical experience, be trained to a minimum of NLP Master Practitioner and will have completed an approved Supervision Training Program (listed on the website). 2) An NLP Trainer - this Supervisor will have a minimum of 5 years of NLP clinical experience, be trained to a minimum of NLP Trainer Certification and will be an active Trainer of NLP Certification courses.
A: If you want to attain or maintain your Professional Membership with the NLPAA, yes. Supervision is not just for those who are new to NLP Coaching and Therapy. 'Limiting Habits' can form in even the most experienced practitioner and without a 'feedback' mechanism, the practitioner may be none the wiser. This can in turn impact on client service and care. Supervision is a quality control method which helps promote best practice standards. Even experienced NLP Practitioners are advised to receive Supervision. |
