It’s a lot of time, money and an 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?

Are these questions holding you back?

Is hypnotherapy a really viable profession?

Does hypnosis actually work ?

How do I find an effective training?

Hypnosis: the “entrancing” career - real or not?

Worth billions, the hypnotherapy industry is rife with myths, hype and confusion. From misleading portrayals on television and in movies, to trainers trying to sell you on how easy it is to make money hypnotising people - it's a truly minefield!

But what is hypnosis, really?
Does it involve spinning a pendant in front of your client? Or mind-control? Trance states? Accessing the unconscious mind?
Or is it a research-supported, effective way for people to take back control and experience significant improvements in issues such as chronic pain, anxiety, depression, PTSD and bowel disorders? 

Allow us to clear up the confusion and debunk the myths that surround hypnosis!

Let us walk you through the extensive 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 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 15th October 2024 7pm

A unique, 2.5-hour session reviewing the research, debunking myths, helping you get clear about potential career options, and discover if the Hypno-CBT® course is right for you.
Webinar will be available on replay if you can't make this time slot.

The Hypno-CBT® Diploma:
the only Diploma you need to become an accredited, professional therapist

British Psychological Society logo

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.


INTEGRATION WITH CBT  (and mindfulness!)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is known as the most effective psychotherapy. Many studies have demonstrated its efficacy increases with the addition of hypnosis. (1)

NO TRANCE!

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.

QUALIFY WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD

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

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.


AMAZING SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY

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.


Next webinar: Tuesday 15th October 2024 at 7pm GMT
(recording available if you can't attend)

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.
PLUS the therapeutic skills, knowledge and confidence
- all based on fundamental scientific principles of growth and healing.

Want to know more?

Next webinar: Tuesday 15th October 2024 7pm


The 2.5-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.

And there's a LOT of research into hypnosis! It's now a cutting edge topic in cognitive neuroscience.

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 have been doing this over 20 year and have a strong reputation in the field for our professional approach.

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?

It's our evidence-based approach that makes the difference!

We’ll cover basic, old school hypnotherapy and why the research-informed, 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:

Why did they decide to shift careers and why did they choose the Hypno-CBT® Diploma rather than another training course?
How did they manage to set up a successful practice?
How much do they earn? (the big question!)
What’s a typical day and week like for a hypnotherapist?
What is the single most important thing in building and maintaining a career in hypnotherapy?

Three free Reports for you

Unfortunately hypnosis has been the playground for every sort of hype, nonsense and pseudoscience.
We want to assure there is serious research into hypnosis from leading universities.

There have been special hypnosis research labs in the Psychology Departments
of the most famous universities in the world!
Stanford Hypnosis Lab
Harvard Hypnosis Lab
Berkely Hypnosis Lab

Wouldn't  you want your professional training
to be based on results from those research labs?

Question:
Aren't all hypnotherapy courses pretty much the same?

Answer:  NO!

Many training courses are "not fit for purpose"
and peddle hype and pseudoscience.



QUIZ!
SPOT THE HYPE!

Does any of the following sound familiar?

"Rapid change therapy!"
"Transform your clients in one session!"
"New method that is taking the world by storm!"

These are familiar promotional claims
that regularly appear in the world of hypnotherapy training.


What about "hypno-analysis"?
Regression hypnotherapy?
"Root cause" hypnotherapy?

"morally wrong!"

That's what Professor Paul Salkovskis said about a currently very popular "rapid" hypnotherapy training that uses hypnosis to take people back to "root causes" in childhood.  

 In a recent article in The Sunday Times Professor Paul Salkovskis said it was "morally wrong" to claim this  therapy could cure complex mental illness rapidly in a single session by getting to the "root cause" in childhood

“The idea there is a single point, this crucial moment that everything stems from, is nonsense.  In terms of the current understanding of psychological problems like anxiety and depression ... it has absolutely no foundation in what we understand about these problems.”

Professor Paul Salkovskis: 


Director of Oxford Health NHS Centre for Psychological Health, and Professor of Clinical Psychology at Oxford University,


Choosing the wrong training course can cost your time, effort and £1000s of pounds.
Also it is a lost opportunity  that can impact your hope, dreams and self-belief.

Every year we see dozens of people who are pulled in
by the various claims and chose the wrong course.

Don’t let that happen to you!

Somehow UKCHH manages to balance discussion of current scientific and clinical issues and findings, with practical, experiential learning, and personal reflection and growth. I cannot rate them highly enough.

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.

Well done to the UKCHH team  team for all their hard work in developing and running this magnificent course."

“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, which we call Hypno-CBT®.

Hypno-CBT® is a proprietary integration of social, cognitive and behavioural psychology and psychotherapies with a modern 'non-trance' approach to hypnosis. 

In addition we blend and integrate wisdom and practices from the East: meditation, mindfulness and yoga/Buddhist philosophy.

Sometimes we call it "an integration of the ancient, the magical and the scientific: mindfulness, hypnosis and CBT."

The Hypno-CBT® approach 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.

While our training has a rigorous academic and scientific basis we make it simple, clear 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!).  Indeed 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.

Build a fulfilling career in hypnotherapy…

When it comes to a vocation like hypnotherapy, meaningful work, a new career ~ you deserve to understand the options and possibilities, to see a clear route to that future AND have the self-belief to walk that path.

Anything less is not right.
Clear possibilities  +  Clear path  +  Self-belief = success!

We know that switching careers is not easy.
There’s a lot at stake.

Time, money, security.... your dreams and self-belief!

But imagine this.…

Waking up every morning excited about your work! Work that is meaningful and rewarding.
Every day seeing the positive impact you are having on your client's lives.
Earning a good income - with time flexibility. 
Owning your own therapy business. Setting your own schedule, prices and terms.
Deeply feeling you are reaching your potential and living the life that you were meant to live.

We want to make your decision as easy as possible and that’s why the entire webinar is designed to give you as much clarity as possible about what we’re offering, answer all of your questions, and give you a comprehensive insight into the life of a trained hypnotherapist. 

It’s easy to be blindsided by glamorous advertising or others’ success and risk a lot of money or time by investing in a path that may not work out.

Here's the thing: if you fall for the hype and end up choosing the wrong training, and you don’t only lose your money and valuable time - you can also lose your hope and belief in your dream of a new vocation.

We don’t want that for you or anyone! 

Join the webinar and learn how to select a training and find out whether the evidence-based path we offer is meant for you.

If by the end of the webinar you feel like it’s not a good fit, you’ll still have gained clarity on the right path for you.

You’ve got nothing to lose!

The content is fantastic and the online learning platform is the best I have ever come across. The most amazing part of this course is the flexibility to study at your own pace and complete all assessments in your own time within whatever timeline you choose.

"So glad I chose THIS course!"
"Stumbled across this college when looking for potential hypnotherapy courses. So glad I did! This course, with its adherence to evidence-based practice, answered a lot of doubts that I'd begun to have about private practice. Excellent teaching, a robust philosophy and good value for money. You really feel you're in safe hands with UKCHH."

Wanda Healey

Psychology Lecturer

Don’t make the mistake of choosing the wrong training!

Yes — there is plenty substandard training out there!

There are lots of entertaining and "amazing" trainings -  but as practitioner trainings they are not truly ‘fit for purpose’.
They simply do not fully equip you to be a therapist.

We know. We see them come to our courses to get retrained.
Every. Single. Year. 

Don't end up choosing the wrong training and then having to take another training because your first training was not ‘fit for purpose’...

"It pays to keep an open mind,
but not so open your brain falls out"
- Carl Sagan

For some reason people leave their brains at home when they hear about hypnosis!  It as if they become hypnotised by the very idea of hypnosis - and then shell out huge sums of money to "learn the secrets of hypnosis".
