Who Should Attend?

You are not required to have any previous training in therapy to enrol on this course, as it is an introductory level training. However, it is very popular with counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, life-coaches and complementary therapists, interested in adding hypnosis to their existing skills.

This course is also ideal for anyone interested in learning basic hypnotherapy skills for personal development.

This course forms the first stage of our full diploma training so is the first step for those interested in training to become a professional hypnotherapist.
