Our training  approach

There are many training schools and you must chose the one that is right for you.

To really understand how hypnotherapy works you have to be relaxed and work in a setting conducive to learning at the intuitive level.

What does the hypnotherapy training cover?

Ours is not a mechanical, script based approach but rather a journey of self discovery, both for students enrolled on the course and for their clients in turn.

We apply a theme of Jungian psychology which sees each person as a sum of personality parts, some visible and some locked in the subconscious waiting for the light of insight to allow psychological integration. This can be a life altering experience even if the presenting problem is a simple habit.

However the habit brain has a tendency to revert to past learned behaviours and so we use life coaching and hypno-mindfulness to continue the process of focussing on future goals and maintaining a habit of living in the present rather than wishul thinking or regrets.

The personal changes students experence on the course are often equal to the therapy tools they acquire.

Full accreditation with the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council(GHSc), the Hypnotherapy Association and the Complementary & Natural Heathcare Council CNHC) is available on completion of the 3 training modules along with a logged amount of home based practice including  research and case studies.

The total hours are 120 face to face (the 3 modules) and 330 hours of home based practice, total 450 hours.

We  offer fast track training with all the modules concurrent and home study then follows on.

The days are spllt in to mornings for theory and video demonstartions with afternoons covering live demonstrations and experiental learning. 

Hypnotherapy is learned as an art and not as a science. we are not rying to create academics but rather creative therapists that have mastered the basic techniques and can demonstarte the ability to provide empathetic and compassionate sessions for clients.

The content of the modules

Module 1 covers traditional suggestion therapy along with Stress management, relaxation techniques, simple inductions and deepeners, ensuring that the student can work with clients straight away.

Modules 2 & 3 cover the elegant Ericksonian methods along with many more inductions, timeline systems and deeper Practical NLP reframing methods. Hypno-healing, pain control and regression techniques are demonstrated.

To ensure that changes are incorporated in clients’ lives we also cover Life Coaching  and Hypno-mindfulness  to maintain momentum.
