What our students say...










I have just qualified and in such a short space of time I cannot believe how much my life has completely changed .
This course was the best decision I ever made I knew I wanted to make career changes , little did I know my personal life would be come so much happier and that I would become a much better version of myself the person I actually wanted to be .
I choose the course and spent a lot of time researching other courses but CPHT was the only one that offered me what I was looking for a professional qualification at the end and a classroom setting and a actual tutor to have access to which was all available .
The training was very modern up to date neuroscience at times was hard but Gary the tutor is exceptional at teaching and his methods helped make it fun interesting and amazing and at the end I felt very knowledgable hypnotherapist .
I can’t praise him high enough .
Practice started quite early on and at first it felt daunting , but this too was the absolutely best thing ever I loved that in such a short space of time near the end of the course I was seeing paying clients .
I worked for the NHS for 10 years and as a result of how much I changed I decided to concentrate on my hypnotherapy practice . As I enjoyed so much helping others and seeing results in a short space of time .
It is an inspirational course run by a inspirational team of teachers . Thank you so much .

I never felt that my job as a dental nurse, was the making of me! There was something better and more rewarding for me out there, well I’ve found it!!
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy!!
I knew after the first weekend I was hooked and this IS my career path.
I will never look and back and wonder what if?? I know!! 😃🌈👍





I cannot recommend this course enough as an all round way to gain knowledge and skills to prepare you to develop your knowledge base, set up your own clinical practice and start your own business.



















Anne and Alex, our tutors, are fantastic. They have a wealth of experience between them and have made the last 10 months of learning fun and so enjoyable. I’ll miss our monthly sessions together, but can’t wait to qualify next month and get my brand new business up and running.
I would thoroughly recommend CPHT Scotland to anyone who had a passion for helping others and who is looking for a change of career. Signing up for this course is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

CPHT gives you the tools to be a confident Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy Practitioner and helps you create the foundations of your own future practice for you to build on after qualifying.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the course in Glasgow and would recommend it to anyone thinking about hypnotherapy training in the future.





















'what an inspiring bunch ' I go out of 2020 into 2021 as a different human being, more self assured , confident and truely ready to make a difference.
This course is science based and transforms your way of thinking about why we do what we do and what makes us think and behave the way we do.
A powerful and inspiring 10 months .










Don’t overthink it, just do it! You won’t regret it.... it’s absolutely fantastic!!!!


I've also been lucky enough to meet 3 fantastic ladies, and although the course has now sadly finished, we will stay in touch and continue to support each other.






Studied with CPHT in Manchester last year although delivered by different tutors the course was great and Cathy and Anne were involved. I’d have no hesitation in recommending doing the training with CPHT it’s life changing







A profound sense of empowerment was gained for me during the course and subsequently as a qualified clinical practitioner, which I now pass on to clients and watch the rewards this brings to me and my clients, life changing on both accounts.

FAQs
Most frequent questions and answers
If you want to become a hypnotherapist and have a career as a professional clinical hypnotherapist, you’ll want to do your research. There are a LOT of different training courses, offering many different types of hypnotherapy. You can learn over a single weekend or train for over a year. Courses are delivered online, or via distance or face to face learning. The choices can be overwhelming.
If you only want to learn a little bit about hypnosis, then a weekend course, or even a taster day delivered online will be enough. However, would you really be happy offering hypnotherapy for anxiety, depression, weight management, OCD and many other clinical issues if you didn’t have in-depth learning and experience?
Clinical hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy, much like counselling, so to become a hypnotherapist you need thorough, evidence-based training that gives you a recognised qualification. Your training and qualification should be of a standard where you are eligible to join the respected hypnotherapy organisations and you can be insured for professional indemnity insurance.
You will want your training to give you enough practical experience so that you are competent, safe and confident enough to start practising as a professional hypnotherapist when you qualify. Your training should give you the basics in how to start and run a hypnotherapy practice as currently (2022) there are no employed positions as hypnotherapists.
If you want to become a hypnotherapist don’t just pick what looks quick, cheap and easy – pick what gives people the best and safest results and seems respected by the industry as a whole.
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy uses practical, modern, and well-researched strategies to help people make significant, positive changes in their lives in a short period of time.
As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, you’ll support your clients to focus on the outcome they want, rather than the issues that prompted them to seek therapy. This approach focuses on the present and future, without the need to relive the past and is underpinned by up to date research in the fields of neuroscience and brain-based therapies.
The Hypnotherapist asks the client to consider their preferred future, for instance:
What would be better if the problem had improved?
What would have changed?
The addition of trance (hypnosis) within each session allows the brain to consolidate the changes faster than just talking therapy alone.
Common issues that Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help with include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Panic Attacks
- Low confidence
- Self-esteem
- Phobias
- Weight management
- Chronic Pain
- Chronic health issues
- OCD
And it can help with so much more!
The Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD) is a complete training qualification, which means you can go from novice to level 4 professional hypnotherapist in 10 months.
Each month you’ll learn a new aspect of how to be a hypnotherapist. In the time between modules, we expect you to practice what you have learnt. At the beginning of the following module, you have time to ask questions and get feedback on your practical work. In this way, you build up your skills and confidence at a pace which suits you.
Whilst some hypnotherapy courses are delivered over even just a weekend, or self-led learning online, you’ll find this doesn’t give you the depth of learning or experience needed to make a living as a professional hypnotherapist. Experience shows us that to be a confident, competent, effective and safe hypnotherapist takes more than just a weekend or a condensed week or two of training.
Our students often say it is the fastest 10 months of their lives and that the support of professional and practising hypnotherapists, together with so much practical experience, is what gave them the confidence to start their practices on graduation.
