Course Introduction 

The Year 1 Diploma course is open to all students who wish to become professional practitioners of Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy and Counselling and who are looking for a sound and thorough training to enable them to become eligible for membership of the National Council of Psychotherapists and the General Hypnotherapy Register at practitioner level.

This programme provides and excellent background for the development of students understanding about hypnosis and therapy, practical hypnotic skills and awareness of a wide range of presenting problems.  

Students will experience a vast range of clinical and analytical hypnotic and psychotherapeutic techniques that will support the client in self-realisation and healing, enabling them to find choices in the way they respond to life. 

This course also offers students a Foundation Certificate in Counselling Skills & Theory.
 

Counselling and psychotherapy are mainly (although not exclusively) listening and talking based methods of exploring psychological and psychosomatic concerns. We feel that including this in your course will give you greater depth to your work, both through the counselling skills taught and the theoretical knowledge of psychology and therapy. Not every session with a client requires a hypnotic intervention and so with basic proficiency in counselling skills and theory, you will find this naturally occurs.

In combining Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapy and Counselling, you will not only have a greater knowledge and competency in the field of ‘therapy’, you will also have a basic qualification that can give you the option to further train in Counselling specifically. You will be taught basic counselling skills which form an integral part of every psychotherapy model and you will have an introduction to the main theoretical approaches to counselling and psychotherapy.

All students will be encouraged to find their own path and explore those concerns that are immediate and meaningful for them. 
 

Who can come on this Course?

This course is open to all individuals seeking a new career. Applications are usually accepted at this level from those already in the caring professions. However we also accept applications at this level from those that can demonstrate an awareness of the importance of life experience. 
 

Course Duration

Appreciating the pressures of modern life, time and financial constraints, the training course is conducted at weekends, one weekend per month for 11 months.

The training days are mainly experiential, and commence from 10am until 4.30pm. There will be a 40-minute lunch break and 2 further breaks throughout each day. 

Throughout the training course, students are encouraged to meet regularly between the course dates. This is to enhance practice and gain benefit from the exchange of information in regard to practice and previous knowledge from those students already in the caring professions.
