It’s a lot of time, money and emotional risk to take the leap and retrain for a new career.
Even if you feel unhappy in your current job, stuck in the ‘rat race’, constrained by corporate requirements - it’s scary to invest in such a big change.
Too often the fear of the unknown stops people from pursuing their dream.
In this case your possible new future as a professional therapist, running your own business helping change lives.
And if you are already a therapist and want to create deeper, quicker change for your clients - is hypnosis the right choice?

Hypnosis: the “entrancing” career - real or not?
Worth billions, the hypnotherapy industry is rife with myths, hype and confusion. From misleading television and movies, and trainers trying to sell you on how easy it is to make money hypnotising people - it's a truly minefield!
Allow us to clear up the confusion and debunk the myths that surround hypnosis!
Let us walk you through the scientific research so you can know what hypnosis is, how it works and what it can be effective for.
In this webinar we will cut through the promotional hype, show you what the research says about hypnosis - and here's the shocker - that the research conflicts with what is taught on most training courses!
We’ll introduce you to an evidence-based and accredited practitioner training that will enable you to have your own fully insured, legal therapy practice within 6 months.
Next webinar: Tuesday 25th March 2025 7pm

The Hypno-CBT® Diploma:
the only Diploma you need to become an accredited, professional therapist
What makes our Training different?
NO 'HOCUS POCUS'!
Everything we teach on the Hypno-CBT® Diploma is all evidence-based and science-aligned. Knowing your therapy practice is based on an extensive research base will give you a solid foundation and strong confidence even as a novice.
INTEGRATE WITH ICBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is know as the most effective psychotherapy. Many studies have demonstrated its efficacy increases with the addition of hypnosis. (1)
NO TRANCE!
QUALIFY WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD
Nearly every hypnotherapy training programme teaches that hypnosis is a “trance state” - but the research does not support this myth! Learn about the modern “non-trance” model of hypnosis that is supported by research AND integrates with CBT and mindfulness.
The Diploma is an entirely web-based training that you can take anywhere in the world. With live support and practice sessions, you get to choose your training format to suit your schedule. Plus learn how to do therapy online!
HIGHLY EXPERIENTIAL
AMAZING SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY
The Diploma is comprehensive and academically strong, but most importantly it is vocationally focused and highly practical. 50% of the training is experiencing and trying out the huge range of therapeutic tools that you’ll learn to use to help your clients.
Once you sign up you can become a member of our active and supportive professional community – so you get the ongoing support with your new business to achieve the career you envision.
You don’t need any prior qualifications to take the course and qualify as a therapist. The Diploma will give you everything you need - the certification, skills, knowledge, confidence, and motivation - to start your own practice.
This is a full practitioner training.
With the Diploma course, you can be confident that you will have the accreditation required to practice as a professional. And a therapeutic skill set based on fundamental scientific principles of growth and healing.

The 2-hour session will answer the following questions:
Is hypnotherapy really credible as a therapeutic approach?
When new to hypnotherapy, it’s easy to be confused by all of the mystical and murky associations around hypnosis. Not to mention the grandiose claims of the hundreds of “world-famous” celebrity hypnotherapists!
In the webinar we’ll be discussing the most common misconceptions about hypnosis – and why it’s so important to question them, look to the science and use more research-informed ways of talking about hypnosis.
We’re passionate about cutting through the pop psychology and pseudoscience and educating people – both therapists and clients – in our modern, research-based approach to hypnotherapy.
How does the training work?
You might love the idea of a short, concise training that quickly provides you with the ability to start working with people helping them change - rather than a 4-year psychotherapy or counseling course.
But you might be thinking…how is it possible to fully qualify in such a short time?
And can the training really provide all the accreditation, skills, systems, tools for growth, and community support for you to make it work as a therapist?
The answer is YES! And in the webinar we will show you how, step by step.
We will also cover the Diploma training format options, and the flexibility we’ve designed into this programme - that allows you take it anywhere in the world.
Is a successful career as a hypnotherapist really possible?
Find out about how much you could earn as a hypnotherapist, what the market for your services is like and how to reach that market.
We’ll also share examples of people who have taken our training and then adapted it to work in different specialist niches:
- Personal & executive coaching
- Pain management specialist
- Stress management consultant
- Meditation instructor
And so much more.
What makes Hypno-CBT® different?
We’ll cover basic, old school hypnotherapy and why the refined, modern model of Hypno-CBT® can create more effective change and reach more people. You'll learn how the idea of "trance" is not supported by research and creates a major obstacle in therapeutic work. ("Trance" is part of the hocus-pocus mythology around hypnosis that allows training schools to charge LOTS of money for courses that have little substance.)
The integration of hypnosis, CBT and mindfulness allows therapists to have enormous skill and flexibility in the way they integrate hypnosis with other techniques.
You’ll learn why the integration of hypnosis and CBT (widely acknowledged as the most effective psychotherapy approach) is so important. We will show you the research demonstrating that adding hypnosis to CBT improves results over CBT alone.
You can literally “turbo-charge” CBT by adding hypnosis!
And...
Meet successful therapists who took the leap and made it!
This is your chance to hear directly from someone who has recently walked the path.
Our guest speaker was just like you a couple of years ago - unfulfilled, confused and unsure about whether they could make it work.
In our webinar, you’ll hear from them exactly how the Diploma changed their life. Here’s what you will learn:

Question: What can one wrong decision do?
Answer: Every year we see people who chose the wrong course.
Too many training courses are simply "not fit for purpose".
Choosing the wrong training course means you not only lose £1000s of pounds, and waste months or a year of your life.
Most importantly it is a lost opportunity with a deep impact on your hope and self-belief.
Don’t let that happen!

It is also important to hold in mind that this course is so well crafted, that students with no prior knowledge of psychology and/or therapy, can take this course with the confidence that they will be given all the information that is required to become, with practice, competent cognitive-behavioural hypnotherapists.

“When I wanted a career change, I researched a lot of hypnotherapy practitioner courses and UKCHH highlighted itself as being the best, and did not disappoint.
I carried out the full online Level 4 Diploma as I worked full time. I was floored at how rich the content was, and how academically rigorous it was. The course is challenging, but that is exactly what I wanted. The quality of the teaching is phenomenal.
If you're interested in this qualification, I HIGHLY recommend UKCHH. The support system amongst the students as well is fantastic. The most genuine organisation I've been witness to in a long time. Thank you UKCHH."

FAQs
Who are we?
The UK College of Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy is a hypnotherapy training provider specialising in modern, evidence-based, cognitive-behavioural theory and practice.
Established in 2003, we have blazed the trail in evidence-based hypnotherapy training.
We've provided thousands of people with evidence-based practitioner training, integrating the power of hypnosis with the science of CBT.
We give you a clear pathway to full professional accreditation and ongoing support, so the career you envision becomes your reality.
What is Hypno-CBT®?
At the College, we focus on the cognitive-behavioural approach to hypnotherapy and on our own special model of hypnosis combined with CBT and mindfulness, called Hypno-CBT®.
Hypno-CBT® is an integration of social, cognitive and behavioural psychology and psychotherapies with a modern approach to hypnosis. (Hint: we do not see hypnosis as trance!)
We also integrate wisdom and practices from the East: meditation, mindfulness and applied philosophy. Sometimes we call it an integration of the ancient (mindfulness), the magical (hypnosis) and the scientific (CBT).
This allows therapists to have enormous skill and flexibility in the way they integrate hypnosis with other techniques.
You will find out more about Hypno-CBT® - how and why it works - in the webinar!
What does ‘evidence-based’ actually mean?
This means we take a scientific approach and what we teach is based on known models of human change/learning, backed up by clinical and experimental research.
Hypnosis is a serious research topic in psychology. There are well over ten thousand academic papers on hypnosis and hypnotherapy, dedicated academic research journals and dedicated hypnosis research labs at major universities. Hypnosis is a HOT topic in cognitive neuroscience!
In our courses we look at both experimental research - that's research into how hypnosis works - and also clinical research - or what hypnosis can be used for.
We make it simple and understandable (just as you would for clients).
If you’ve taken or are taking a degree in psychology – then you’ll particularly love this course. (Because on many courses what they teach conflicts with much of modern psychology).
Remember: if you’re looking for a new career, then your training is the foundation of your new business. You want that foundation to be solid, based on research and grounded in science.
Is it safe to do hypnotherapy online? Is it effective?
These are great questions! The answers are: yes and yes!
It is 100% safe and effective to learn and conduct hypnotherapy online. As we teach a non-state (non-trance) model of hypnotherapy, we do not endorse any ideas about getting 'stuck' in hypnosis (as it is not possible to do so!). We teach hypnosis as self-hypnosis. We will explain more about this in the webinar.
Not only is it safe but it is very effective, Many research studies into online psychotherapy show that it is just as effective as in person therapy! A key benefit of our training is you will learn how to do online therapy during the training - potentially reaching a worldwide market.
