Would you like to train as a hypnotherapist…?
… because, if you’re looking for a skill that you can use to help others, improve your own life and give you a fulfilling career …
… then, hypnotherapy is an excellent choice!
More and more people are discovering that hypnotherapy is a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of issues. Our hypnotherapy training will provide you with all the skills, knowledge and confidence you require to become a professional hypnotherapist and set up your own practice.
We offer two excellent courses:
Diploma in Hypnotherapy – a twelve-day intensive course that teaches you all you need to become a professional hypnotherapist (see the following curriculum).
Masterclass in Hypnotherapy - the opportunity to learn and experience more about hypnotherapy; developing skills you will have learned on the Diploma course, and learning new skills. Suitable for those wanting to practise advanced techniques or go on to to a select speciality in practice.
Our trainings are highly practical
We spend as much time as possible on the skills and techniques you will use daily as a hypnotherapist. We will demonstrate each skill and explain every step thoroughly, then you will practice each skill as we supervise and guide. And you get to practice both as the therapist and as the client, so that you experience what works best!
So… what will we teach you?

Masterclass in Hypnotherapy Course
As soon as you have completed the Diploma in Hypnotherapy course, seen ten clients (*See Note, below) you can enrol on the three-day Hypnotherapy Master Class.
On this course you will explore and expand the skills you have already learned … and learn even more. You can also share your experiences with us and maybe meet the friends that you made on the Diploma course. The Masterclass is suited to those wanting to deeper explore and implement advanced hypnotherapy techniques and go on to select specialities in practice.
The format is similar to the Diploma, with demonstrations, practice, listening sessions, videos … and of course, you get to practice being a client as well as a therapist!
Over the three days, we cover:
- 'Power Hypnosis' – utilising the unconscious presence and influence of the therapist to accelerate your success; the secret that good therapists (and stage hypnotists) have known since Mesmer
- Making the most of suggestion
- Healing states
- How to create multiple embedded metaphors and use the power of healing stories
- Conversational hypnosis and advanced language patterns
- Powerful anchoring
- Hypnotherapy without trance
- Time distortion
- Advanced Timeline Techniques – addressing issues from before, during or after birth; putting goals into the future
- Advice from your elder self
- Harnessing the unconscious mind to attract opportunities and support
We give you scripts and script outlines for the trances you’ll use during the course, along with a collection of over ninety conversational, hypnotic language patterns that you can use in your hypnotherapy practice.
You also listen to a small selection of hypnotherapy CDs so that you get an idea of what other therapists are doing and how it easy it can be for you to create your own CDs. (It’s also very nice to relax and explore your own unconscious mind – always a favourite with our students!)
*Note: Applicants will also need to provide records from their first 10 clients, in the standard format of a description of the "problem", and the techniques and methods you used, with feedback from yourself and if possible also from the client.
What next?
We offer advice and guidance with how to register with the official bodies, obtain insurance and provide you with ongoing support in your career. If you need that extra bit of inspiration or guidance with an unusual client in your hypnotherapy practice, you can relax knowing that we are only a phone call away!
