Since 2010, CPHT Plymouth has been providing hypnotherapy training to students from the furthest reaches of Cornwall through Devon and into Plymouth and Exeter, and Plymouth’s lecturers Lisa and Tiffany are passionate and enthusiastic about teaching you the skills needed to become a great hypnotherapist.
Our flagship Hypnotherapy Diploma Course™ is widely regarded as the benchmark for excellence in UK hypnotherapy training. Delivered over one weekend a month for 10 months, the program leads to two prestigious qualifications: the Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy™ (DSFH) and the Level 4 Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD), awarded upon successful portfolio completion.
Designed to be highly practical and engaging, the course empowers you to start applying your skills from day one – whether you’re working with friends, family, or early practice clients. Each module builds your confidence and competence through a unique blend of neuroscience, hypnosis, psychotherapy techniques, and business insight. It’s more than just a qualification – it’s your launchpad to a successful hypnotherapy career.
The course is held at The Shado Centre in Saltash, and its location is in easy reach of the railway station with car parking close by. The Centre has comfortable chairs and tables to assist your learning, with a large kitchen when you are ready for a break. The Centre offers a large, window light room for comfort while learning in the summer, and has central heating to keep warm in the winter months.
