With public, professional and academic interest in hypnosis and hypnotherapy research increasing, both researchers and practitioners are seeking to understand, and add to the field of knowledge in these areas.
Hypnosis and hypnotherapy research was once more the domain of the research laboratory, and research teams, than the hypnotist or hypnotherapist. Now, evidence-based practice is more possible than ever, with the emergence and accessibility of hypnosis and hypnotherapy research. Furthermore, practice-based evidence is becoming more widely sought and understood.
There is increasing interest amongst hypnotists and hypnotherapists in how to record and evidence the work that they are engaged in, whether sharing good practice, innovative approaches, or even consistently successful outcomes from a well-established traditional technique. Yet research skills are not commonly taught on hypnosis and hypnotherapy training courses. Practitioners wishing to contribute to new knowledge with scientific, technological, social or cultural advancement can now be supported in their research process.
Kate can help guide you through the entire process, from exploring an initial concept, through to disseminating your outcomes.
As the research emerges, so hypnotists and hypnotherapists wish to be able to make use of that research to enhance their practice. Yet, it can be challenging to understand what the research outcome are and how translate research articles, and their key messages, into real-world practice.
Kate can help you develop the knowledge and skills to be able to assess research and make use of relevant research, and to engage in evidence-based practice where it is appropriate for your work.
There is increasing academic interest in hypnosis and hypnotherapy amongst researchers. Both exploring aspects of hypnosis and hypnotherapy practice, and also looking at individual differences according to hypnotic susceptibility. Yet ‘real-world’ practice is not commonly taught to research academics who are not, themselves, practitioners. This can result in research outcomes which may be more relevant to the research environment, and less so to the therapy room.
Kate can help academics develop the hypnosis and hypnotherapy knowledge and skills needed to be able to more effectively bridge the gap between laboratory and therapy room.
Kate offers research guidance for hypnotists and hypnotherapists who wish to conduct hypnosis or hypnotherapy research independently. Kate also offers subject-specialist supervision alongside academic supervision for students engaged in formal study with a college or university. It may be that you are seeking help in just one area of the research process, or support through the entire process. Kate can help you develop new skills, techniques, tools and materials to enable you to conceive, design, implement and adapt your own research process. She can also teach you how to engage with critical analysis, evaluation, and synthesis of new and complex ideas.
