The model
An integrative model of agency and flourishing
Before a person can live differently, they must in some way be able to imagine differently. Hypno-CBT® is a category of one, built on imagination as the mechanism of change.
Being
Agency
Flourishing
Hear Mark set the model out in full
Ninety minutes on where the model came from, what imagination actually means in psychology, and how Being, Agency and Flourishing work in a session. Recorded for the College, and open to anyone considering the training.
What we’re building
Over the last few years, Hypno-CBT® has grown into far more than a training course. This autumn, The UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy begins its move to Hypno-CBT® College, and behind the new name sits real investment, and a quite radical new model for human change.
Our ambition is to build one of the world’s leading evidence-based training organisations for hypnosis, psychotherapy, coaching and human flourishing.
What we are building
A professional home for your whole career in Hypno-CBT®
Train with the College, go further on the psychotherapy pathway, and be found by clients through the Hypno-CBT® Directory. Behind all three sit a Research Unit, a publishing programme and better tools for your practice.
01 Train
Hypno-CBT® College
Train in the model through the Level 5 Higher Diploma in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy, awarded and externally verified by NCFE.
This autumn the College moves to its new home at hypno-cbt.com.
02 Go further
Psychotherapy pathway
A further stage of training for Level 5 graduates who are already working with clients, leading to the Advanced Diploma in Hypno-CBT® Psychotherapy.
Advanced training, supervised practice and assessed client work, with the therapeutic relationship at the centre of the programme.
03 Be found
Hypno-CBT® Directory
A public directory exclusively for practitioners who hold a Hypno-CBT® qualification. Clients search by location, session type and the areas you work with, then read your full profile and visit your website.
A listing includes a Hypno-CBT® trademark licence and logo pack. See how the Directory works
Behind your practice

Better resources, technology and professional support for the people we train.


A word from Mark
“We are bringing in, and investing in, a new model of therapy, coaching and human growth, and a whole infrastructure built around it: a Directory, a College, a Research Unit, wide-scale publishing, a podcast, YouTube and a good deal more.”
