Entry-Level Hypnotherapy Diploma

We provide highly practical experiences with real-life clients, helping you to build a portfolio and become comfortable engaging with and practicing on various people and problems. This is a 10-month course which provides a Level 4 education (upon HPD completion), and tackles industry-leading techniques for dealing with mental health issues.
Certifications and skills
At the end of your course, you will receive two key certifications:
- Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (DSFH)
- Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD), upon completion of your accompanying portfolio
Additionally, you will have extensive practical experience and marketing knowledge as well – all the tools you will need to make a successful start on your hypnotherapy career.

An SFH qualification helps you expand your understanding of hypnotherapy and therapeutic services, providing additional support to your clients.

Expand Your Skillset with Hypnotherapy CPDs
Your hypnotherapy skills can branch out in any number of ways after receiving your initial DSFH qualification. Most hypnotherapists prefer to focus on a specialism that they grow into over time, whether due to their preference, skillset, or particular clientele. A Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course will give you in-depth knowledge into a particular field or condition, helping you provide more expert support to your clients.
