About your Training

The seven-day, accelerated Certificate in Clinical Hypnotherapy course is specially designed to qualify you to practice as a professional hypnotherapist. Attention is paid to individual participants’ ability to induce, deepen, and apply hypnosis through practical group exercises and tutoring.  This course provides the basis for professional insurance and registration as a hypnotherapist.  However, we recommend that those serious about pursuing a career in hypnotherapy should consider completing our full diploma training in hypnotherapy (HPD) which consists of an additional two stages.

This course is also ideally suited for those already qualified in similar fields, e.g., life-coaching, NLP, psychotherapy, etc., who may wish to learn basic hypnotherapy for use as an adjunct to their existing skills.

 

Course Materials

Every student will receive a free copy of our comprehensive Hypnotherapy Practitioner Training Manual.

Additional scripts, forms, question papers, and other handouts will be supplied.

 

Recommended Course Text

We suggest that you purchase a copy of the core text before the start of the course.  This is one of the standard educational texts in hypnotherapy, reading it is optional but will help you prepare for the course and progress more quickly.
