Hypnotherapy Training
in Oxford

Just awesome training. Really inspiring and down to earth tutors who work so hard to create a positive and nurturing training environment.

A fantastic experience all the way through this life changing course. Great tutors, nice location and fascinating course content. SFH has now become an excellent addition to my therapy toolkit and I would highly recommend CPHT Chester to all😊

I am delighted to be able to write a review for the Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT Manchester), Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy training course. I completed the CPHT Manchester, Diploma in 'Solution Focused Hypnotherapy' training, in 2022. I can whole heartedly recommend this hypnotherapy diploma for many reasons. The trainers - Jane and Debbie - are experienced, supportive, approachable, and they make the learning doable and enjoyable. They are also very accessible and responsive between training dates, if we have queries and / or client matters to discuss. There have also been several guest trainers, who have added a lot of value. The course is very focused on training students to become competent and confident professional Solution Focused Hypnotherapists, and it definitely achieves its aims: from month 3, we practised our skills with friends, family and, eventually, clients, and receiving supervision for our clinical work, and from month 7, we were able to charge clients 'student rate' for our therapy. I really appreciate the Solution Focussed nature of the therapy that we are training in: concentrating on what is going well for clients and what they want to achieve; helping them to move themselves, incrementally, towards their preferred lives, rather than dwelling on problems and talking about the past. Sure, talking about the past and problems, has a role, at times, in other therapies, but I have been really impressed with the outcomes that this therapy is having for clients, and I (and all of my student colleagues) have some great testimonials to demonstrate this. So, if you are looking to train to be a professional Hypnotherapist, I would definitely recommend CPHT Manchester, and this Solution Focused Hypnotherapy training.

If you want to train as a solution-focused hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, don't look any further! Hugely recommend this course with CPHT London and Brian and Sian. The course is practical, face to face, and helps you learn through hands-on practice as well as lectures too. Brian and Sian are brilliant, both running really successful hypnotherapy business's, supportive, and bring a sense of humour to sessions too. Each module is really thorough. The course also guides you on setting up your own practice and how to set up your business. Our cohort all achieved about 200 client hours, and the group was incredibly supportive and fun. Excited to start setting up my practice properly soon. Huge thanks to Sian and Brian - solid 5 stars!

I've really enjoyed my learning journey with CPHT Manchester. The course has given me the foundations and skills to beginning my career as a solution focused hypnotherapist. The practical elements of the course have also been a valuable piece of learning, giving me the tools to work with volunteer clients whilst I train. Debbie and Linda are very knowledgeable and have been great faciliters. Thank you for all your support and I look forward to continuing to work with you during my supervisions.

I started Debbie's course in March 2025. I had not worked or studied for 10 years so, I was a bit apprehensive. Debbie put me at ease immediately. She has such a calm manner and and her experience shines through in her teaching. She has also been a great support to me with any problems I had, both personal and professional. We had some good laughs too, and I know I've made lifelong friends on this course. I'm excited to start my new journey as a hypnotherapist and psychologist because I feel fully equipped with the experience and knowledge I have gained through her teaching. Debbie was there for me all the way through, and I'm happy to know she's going to be there for me for a long time afterwards for adivice and guidance as I progress. I'm 58 and never thought I'd be my own boss and a fully qualified professional in a brand new career but, it's the best thing I have ever done for myself. I would definitely recommend Debbie's course to anyone wanting to make a positive change in their life. Thank you Debbie! Trish

As a working GP I didnt really know what to expect. I know it works for smoking cessation and I went primarily to learn this and discovered a whole new way of helping people with stress anxiety poor sleep etc etc . Lots of evidence based studies citing efficacy. It was hard work fitting in the learning as you start seeing volunteer clients about month 2-3 . Lots of help given and instruction on Marketing etc on how to set up your own business will qualify in December 2025 and looking forward to starting to see my own paid clients privately . Highly recommend

I have loved my training with CPHT Manchester! The course is very comprehensive, lots of theory, but also lots of practical time to embed hypnotherapy techniques too. Over the duration of the course I have learned new skills, and I am confident to go forwards into my own private practice. Both Debbie and Linda have been supportive both in the classroom and in between sessions, helping me to develop and reflect. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is just so impactful, my clients have made incredible progress and I have loved being part of their journeys. Thank you CPHT Manchester!

Completing the Diploma in Hypnotherapy with CPHT Manchester has been a transformative 10-month journey. From the outset I was immersed in both the theory and practise of Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy with Debbie Daltrey and Linda McEnaney an experienced and caring team of supervisors. This course gave me the skills to empower clients to make meaningful change while retaining their agency. It impresses me that I was already seeing real positive results in clients, well before qualifying, - Changes in mindsets, reductions in stress levels and genuine breakthroughs in unimaginable areas as well as smoke cessation and phobic response. The course has also given me the acumen to set up and market my own practise with confidence. The tangible progress has given me confidence and real pride. I now feel ready and equipped not only to support others in their transformation but to launch a business grounded in authenticity and proven methods. On a personal note, my supervisors Debbie, Linda and my cohort have steered me through the course and been available every step of the way with encouragement, direction and kindness. If you are looking for a substantial course in hypnotherapy, that delivers depth and practise-readiness, CPHT really delivers. One of the best decisions I ever made!!! I wholeheartedly recommend CPHT to train with. Anita Jaffa-Brown 2025 intake

Training to be a solution focused hypnotherapist with Debbie & Linda at CPHT Manchester has taught me skills that can change people’s lives in the most amazing way. Highly recommend this fantastic course!

CPHT gave me the confidence to embark on my new career as a solution focused hypnotherapist. The teaching was excellent and I have learnt so much. Thank you!

I had such an incredible experience with this course! The trainers were extremely supportive throughout — you can tell they genuinely care about your learning and progress. The course itself is intensive, but the balance between practical application and theory (including the neuroscience behind it) is absolutely spot on. Not only does it prepare you to become a confident practitioner, but it also encourages you to reflect on and prioritise your own mental health, which I found so valuable. On top of that, I got to learn alongside an amazing group of people, which made the whole journey even more special.

I have recently graduated and cannot recommend this course enough! Whether you are training for a career, or your own personal journey, this course offers life changing results! The trainers are knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging, and thanks to them, I now feel empowered and equipped to start my journey as a qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist.

At the very last moment, in September 2024, I made the decision to commence my training in the October to become a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist with CPHT Hampshire. I am so incredibly glad and proud that I did. I was exploring an alternative path of qualifying as a counsellor, but it was the solution-focused approach at CPHT, backed by neuroscience, that really caught my attention. I now know, one year on, having experienced it with my clients, that hypnosis is the difference that makes the difference. Professionally, it is incredibly inspiring and satisfying to see the positive changes that Solution Focused Hypnotherapy delivers. My first decade of my working life was as an Army officer and in the Foreign Office; the second decade was spent in education teaching Latin; this third decade as a solution-focused hypnotherapist promises to continue my life-long intention to be of service and of use to my fellow humans. I count myself incredibly lucky to have come across CPHT who are, I’ve no doubt, the most professional and rigorous training provider in this therapeutic industry. It mattered to me that I trained and qualified with the best, and I hold my tutors and every member of my now-qualified cohort in the highest esteem. Their mutual encouragement and support have meant everything. And I have been blown away by their experiences with their clients as much as my own, so my confidence and faith in this therapeutic modality could not be higher. These are such exciting times for our progress in understanding neuroscience and mental health and now, having qualified with CPHT, I feel right at the forefront of it and it’s a thrilling place to be. If you’re thinking of exploring this qualification yourself, don’t hesitate. What you personally gain from undertaking this study is entirely worth it for its own sake. It is an empowering and enlightening education about the way we all work, and how we can do more than survive the challenges of this life and instead truly thrive. The fun really starts when we get to share this knowledge and witness the benefits it brings. And I delighted to say this is now my job!!!

Training with CPHT Plymouth was a brilliant experience. The course was practical, supportive, and gave me the confidence to start working with clients straight away. The tutors were knowledgeable and approachable, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone thinking about a career in hypnotherapy.

Can't recommend this training enough. Extremely thorough and a great foundation for a lifelong career in hypnotherapy. Tiff and her team are extremely experienced, committed trainer and therapist and will give you the individual attention that you need. This course will give you confidence and skills and an in-depth insight into Solution Focused work.

I completed the Diploma in Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy through CPHT Hampshire, and can honestly say, I LOVED every minute of it! A highly knowledgeable and professional team of course leaders (Holly, Lydia, and Lisa), who really care about your progression as a student and are experts when it comes to delivering the course material. The content (supported by handouts, demonstration videos, and recommended reading) is well-designed, thorough, and up to date with the most recent neuroscience research. The course includes practical exercises with peers, which are a lot of fun, and you meet so many lovely people in the process. You are also encouraged and supported to work with clients while you are training, which boosts your confidence and prepares you to launch your own practice once qualified. If you are thinking about becoming a hypnotherapist and want the best comprehensive training there is, I would 100% recommend CPHT!

Embarking on the CPHT training journey has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made. The combination of theory and real client experience is building my confidence week by week. The training is not only giving me the tools to become a solution-focused hypnotherapist, it is also transforming my own outlook on life. The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive and passionate about what they do. CPHT have provided me with a journey of growth and purpose. I thoroughly recommend this training course.

I had the pleasure of attending the Plymouth course this weekend. Lisa made me feel so welcome from the moment I walked in. The content is delivered in a way that is understandable, fun and engaging. Lisa and her team have a wealth of knowledge which is brilliant and inspiring. If you’re looking for a hypnotherapy course where you will feel welcomed, supported and inspired I can’t highly recommend CPHT Plymouth. Superstar's 🌟

Completing my training with CPHT Plymouth has not only given me the knowledge, skills and confidence to practice as a solution focused hypnotherapist, but also a broader understanding of solution focused hypnotherapy, the underpinning neuroscience and valuable insight into how to practically implement everything we have learnt; both in a professional and personal capacity. It was a truly fascinating and engaging experience, from the start, and an incredibly uplifting and empowering. I have also made new friends who will continue alongside me in our shared hypnotherapy journey. The course structure was very comprehensive, and well designed. The course topics were engaging from the offset through to completion. I am delighted that I trained with CPHT Plymouth. So, if you are interested in training as a hypnotherapist and you are thinking of training with CPHT Plymouth, then I say, go for it! But be aware that you may find yourself a changed person, of course in the very best way; as for me personally it was a truly life enriching experience. Thank you to the wonderfully knowledgeable and enthusiastic tutors at CPHT Plymouth.

I recently completed my hypnotherapy training at CPHT Plymouth, and the experience was highly professional and well-structured, providing me with a solid foundation of knowledge, practical hands-on experience, and the confidence to run my own hypnotherapy practice. The tutors are experts in the industry and are happy to share their experience. I also appreciate the ongoing post-qualifying support. Another highlight was the people I’ve met, fellow students who have become my close friends and part of a supportive network moving forward. I absolutely recommend CPHT Plymouth to anyone considering a career in hypnotherapy. It has been life-changing for me.

Training with CPHT Plymouth has been one of the best things I’ve ever done. I absolutely love my job as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, and the training has not only given me a new career I’m passionate about, but it’s also had a really positive impact on my personal life. The course had a fantastic practical element – working with real clients while studying meant I was confident and ready to start my own business the moment I qualified. The tutors were incredibly friendly, supportive, and knowledgeable, making the whole learning experience enjoyable and inspiring. I can’t recommend CPHT Plymouth highly enough to anyone considering a career in hypnotherapy.

Very professional hypnotherapy training school. I learned not only how to help people with many kinds of issues from anxiety to smoking, but also about how to run a business, manage client workload and much more! Tiffany is kind, knowledgable and approachable.

Not only did I train at CPHT Plymouth 13 years ago, and set up a busy therapy practice as a result, I’m now lucky enough to be one of the lecturers here at CPHT Plymouth. I’m constantly inspired by the enthusiasm and dedication of our students. The course is hands-on, supportive, and genuinely enjoyable — you see people grow in confidence week by week. It’s a brilliant blend of theory and practical skills, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and encouraging. I feel proud to be part of a team that’s helping to train the next generation of solution-focused hypnotherapists.

I thoroughly enjoyed this hypnotherapy training course and found it to be an excellent preparation for becoming a qualified hypnotherapist. I loved how it drew on neuroscience and the latest research, and how each module built seamlessly on the last. The training was highly practical – I was working with clients within the first couple of months, which really helped build my confidence. Another strength was its focus on the business side of setting up in private practice, which gave me the tools to get started professionally straight away. Not only was it a great course, I was also impressed by how effective Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is in helping people achieve their goals. I left the course feeling confident, well-equipped, and inspired to begin my Hypnotherapy practice.

I recently graduated from the Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Diploma training course, and I can honestly say this course has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. The course is well designed, professionally delivered, and so much fun! Spanning both theory and practice it covers hypnotherapy techniques, psychoanalytical history, client ethics, and business/accounting modules necessary to run a successful practice. The tutors, Brian and Lydia, were exceptional, feeling more like mentors than lecturers. Their knowledge and experience were evident and their passion for hypnotherapy was contagious. They created a supportive learning environment where questions were encouraged and feedback was always constructive and helpful. This course has given me the skills, confidence, and understanding to work effectively and ethically with clients and set up my own practice. Learning and practicing in a group setting has forged new friendships, making me feel like I already belong to a community of therapists, which is incredibly reassuring as I take this next step. If you’re considering training in hypnotherapy, I wholeheartedly recommend this course.

Brian and Sian are knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging throughout all 10 modules of this course. The opportunity to work with real clients as you train really embeds the learning and helps you build confidence as your knowledge grows. The theory behind the Solution Focused approach hasn’t just shaped my practice, it’s been life-changing personally too. Thank you CPHT London!

It's very hard to write a compact review for something that has been so life changing, but 10 months on this course has not only taught me so much but made me a completely different person, for the better I hasten to add. I had had an interest in hypnotherapy for sometime and had looked at various courses but this one was the one I finally went with and I am so glad that I did. Brian and Lydia are fantastic teachers and make everything come together in such a way that learning is fascinating and, dare I say it, fun. You were guided every step of the way, not only in how to practice solution based hypnotherapy but also in how to run a business like this, no question was stupid, no step to taxing and you are practising almost from the word go. Having got my diploma, not bad for a kid who left school 43 years ago without an O level, I now feel super confident and excited to move forward with my business. A great course that I can't recommend highly enough.

Bristol Cpht is brilliant. I was made so welcome. The course was great. I miss it now I'm trained. Family run, lovely facility in Clifton. Very supportive and will teach you all you need to know, every facet of the job and with ongoing professional development. Students and staff were really great. Learning was a lot of fun. Highly recommended. Thank you to the teaching staff.

An amazing course - I’ve learned so much and it was brilliantly taught by the wonderful, and very very knowledgeable, tutors Brian and Holly. I cannot recommend enough , if anybody is thinking of training on Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, train with CPHT. It was simply brilliant - Thank you. Linda

Signing up for the CPHT Solution Focused Hypnotherapy has been personally and professionally the best thing I have done. On a personal level, it has completely changed the way I think and through doing this course I have managed to get my health anxiety under control and am a calmer and more confident person as a direct result of doing this course. It has been life changing. On a professional level it has been incredible, learning a whole new skill, along with 200 client hours under my belt, so I finish feeling confident and ready to go out to begin my business now. Seeing client results and progress has been incredible and I have been blown away by the positive impact SFH has had on client lives as well as my own. I really feel that I am making a difference and this feels so good. Holly and Brian are brilliant- their teaching is excellent and they are so generous with their wisdom and knowledge. The weekends in college were fantastic- they were informative, sometimes challenging (great to get out of our comfort zone!) but always fun- we had so many laughs along the way. The course content is very comprehensive, so much information and very in depth, really interesting and always relevant. It is hard and a lot of work, more than I realised when I signed up, however, it was 100% worth the effort to come out the other end as a fully qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist! Thank you so much Holly and Brian and CPHT Surrey.

Before I started this Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH) course, I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to delve further into psychotherapy or counselling, but when I heard first hand reports of how SFH gave people with high anxiety, the ability to not only manage but thrive, I had to explore it further. I was soooo glad that I found the CPHT Brighton course. Right from the start, you are supported and guided one incremental step at a time. They practice what they preach so beautifully! Brian and Lydia are fantastic tutors and supervisors: the lessons were always fascinating, sometimes poignant, sometimes funny, always relevant – you’re engaged from the moment you sit down, through teaching, group discussions, skills practice. Brian and Lydia both clearly love what they do, and teach with passion, humour and generosity. It was a fantastic journey with like-minded classmates from all walks of life, all exploring our own minds as well as supporting clients through some of the most inspiring life-changes right from the start of the course. Now, at the end of the course, I’m sad it’s over but am so excited about how well CPHT have prepared us to start this next chapter of building a business.

I’m really grateful for everything I’ve learned during the Solution Focused Hypnotherapy course. I felt truly supported and encouraged throughout. The tutors were knowledgeable, kind, and always there to help. I now feel ready and confident to start my practice. Thank you so much! 🍃 Paola Milan

I highly recommend training in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy through CPHT Brighton. All the senior lecturers are very skilled, knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging. The course structure also has a clever way of layering your learning so when you come to the end you realise how much you have learnt and how many practical skills and techniques you have picked up along the way too. I have worked in mental health services for many years and learned different therapeutic techniques etc but hadn’t ever come across something that works so well for people with so many different presenting difficulties before this. It was also wonderful to be able to help lots of volunteer clients from the outset of the training and I gained so much more confidence in myself and the approach from this. I also love how it so effectively combines neuroscience with an effective and gentle psychotherapeutic approach. The training weekends were also very enjoyable and set in a lovely venue.

I absolutely recommend training through CPHT. The course content has been brilliant and the leaning I have taken away has been invaluable. I have really enjoyed my journey through training with CPHT and feel that not only has it helped me to train as a professional therapist, but has also helped me become a better version of myself.

This course has genuinely been life-changing. Brian and Sian are fantastic lecturers and their passion, knowledge, and experience really come across in every module. The teaching is clear, supportive, and engaging, and I always felt inspired and encouraged throughout. If you're thinking about training in hypnotherapy, I couldn’t recommend it more!

If you are considering a hypnotherapy course - do this course! The reviews are all 5 stars for a reason - the course was way beyond what I had hoped for, Sian and Brian are fantastic tutors and I learnt so much about myself. I'm usually very self-conscious and lacking in confidence when attending courses but I genuinely enjoyed our training weekends, met some great people, and I now have a passion for all things neuroscience!

Loved this course and all of the lecturers. I have met friends for life and learnt so much about myself. Thank you and I will miss you all

This course far exceeded my expectations. Brian and Sian are incredibly generous with their knowledge and always available to answer questions or provide advice when needed. It has improved my life in numerous ways—I truly can't recommend this course enough.

What can I say? I'm still recovering from one of the best learning experiences of my life. The teaching methods and support was invaluable. I pushed myself to new levels and my comfort zone was tested on many occasion. All to which I managed to accomplish. I look forward to my new career.
