Study Methods

Our one-year part time hypnotherapy with counselling skills course is available at venues across the UK.  The course is validated by The Prince’s Trust and listed on Ofqual’s Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) at Level 3.  This course is the only hypnotherapy course listed on the RQF, meaning that it is a true Level 3 Diploma course and not just mapped to a level.  In addition, this course is accredited by the National Hypnotherapy Society, a Professional Standards Authority accredited register meaning the course content and delivery has undergone a level of scrutiny to meet high external national standards.  Successful graduation from this course gives you a route to registration with the National Hypnotherapy Society, and the title Registrant Member (MHS).

Our unique course blends hypnotherapy with counselling skills, which many hypnotherapy courses do not.  The result of this is graduates can start professional practice with a good level of hypnotherapy  knowledge and experience, along with having vital rapport-building and client-supporting skills learned from counselling approaches.

And, if your goal is full training as a professional counsellor, this course gives you a route to our Level 4 Diploma in Counselling Skills and Theory, which in turn is a route to our full professional counselling training at Level 5.

The syllabus includes understanding how to support clients in an ethical and professional way, and how to build a successful hypnotherapy practice. You will learn how to work with those presenting issues clients often bring to hypnotherapy, such as state or trait anxiety, unwanted habits such as smoking or unhealthy eating, increasing motivation, and confidence-building.
