How to Start and Build a Successful Hypnotherapy Practice

by
CPHT Hypnotherapy Training - How to Start and Build a Successful Hypnotherapy Practice

Starting a hypnotherapy practice can feel like a challenging concept, especially when you’re new to the industry. If you haven’t started your training yet and are looking at the commercial viability of hypnotherapy, then the idea of starting out alone may feel like an impossible hurdle. But we’re here to show you it’s not.

At CPHT, we provide reliable hypnotherapy training that gives you all the tools and techniques you need to start and grow your own hypnotherapy practice. In this article, we’ll provide a step-by-step guide that makes the process clear and simple, ensuring you’re ready for your exciting future as a certified hypnotherapist!

Can’t wait to begin? Get in touch!

Step 1: Starting Your Hypnotherapy Training

Your first step should be to get some initial training as a hypnotherapist. If you’re already certified – great! You can move on to the next stage. If not, however, then this section is for you.

In your hypnotherapy training, you will be guided through all the key principles of providing hypnotherapy. This includes:

  • Methods you can use
  • Common problems you will see
  • How solution focused hypnotherapy works

On top of these basic fundamentals, you will be given modular tasks, the opportunity to gain field experience, and an open platform for further discussions.

After you’ve completed your training, you should be in the prime position to start your own hypnotherapy practice. But if you’re still feeling uncertain, worry not, as there are plenty of other avenues available to you as well.

Step 2: On-the-Job Experience

As mentioned, you will receive on-the-job hypnotherapy experience during your Solution Focused Hypnotherapy Diploma course. For some people, this gives them enough experience and confidence to carry out hypnotherapy for a diverse range of clients and customers.

However, if you find you still want to gain more experience, there are options.

CPHT Hypnotherapy Training - Working with friendsWorking with friends and family. Many hypnotherapists get into the practice as they want to help a friend or family member resolve a specific issue. By working with them to help find a resolution, you will gain confidence in yourself and your abilities that can be massively beneficial for your future work.

Joining a hypnotherapy organisation. You may be able to find a place as part of a larger, established hypnotherapy practice. Depending on your location and work requirements, this may give an avenue to build your confidence and experience, using the reputation and support of an existing organisation.

Volunteering. When someone is paying for something, it’s a given that they’ll expect to get their money’s worth, and this can be daunting when you’re just starting out as a hypnotherapist. Volunteering takes away the expectation that money brings, giving you an opportunity to gain experience without as much pressure.

Step 3: Understanding How to Market Yourself

Alongside experience and skill in hypnotherapy, marketing is a vital part of starting your own hypnotherapy practice. If you can’t sell yourself and your skills, you may find it hard to get things off the ground and really prove yourself – especially when you don’t have a large portfolio.

Our Hypnotherapy Diploma offers marketing training alongside everything else, helping you be prepared for starting your own practice upon completion.

Step 4: Setting Up Your Hypnotherapy Practice

With the skills, expertise, and resources in place, the next step is to start your own practice. Here are some simple steps you can follow to begin:

  1. Join a professional body. This includes organisations like the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH), the National Hypnotherapy Society, or the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
  2. Get insurance. You will want insurance like professional indemnity insurance or public liability insurance to protect you in case of an incident.
  3. Register your business. There are a few different options here, such as registering as a sole trader or a limited company. You will want to ensure you’re registered with HMRC, and that you have a business bank account set up to handle expenses.
  4. Set up a practice space. Whether you’re operating from home or investing in your own premises, you will want to have a safe and professional space for your clients to see you in.
  5. Set up your fees. You will need to set how much your services cost, and market this clearly to potential customers. Looking at other hypnotherapy practices can give you an idea of where to start, and our marketing training will help you as well.
  6. Marketing and growing your practice. While staying compliant with the regulations, you can now continue to grow your practice in accordance with your capabilities. This could mean taking on a broader range of customers, or narrowing your focus to a specific niche.

Step 5: Specialising in a Niche

Many hypnotherapists find that as their practice grows, they want to focus on a specific type of issue. This could be due to personal preference, customer trends, or a need to understand more about a specific issue.

In any case, we can help you develop your skills with a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course. In this course, you can dive deep into the specifics of certain hypnotherapy-treatable issues like:

  • Adult ADHD
  • Neuroscience
  • Self-harm

… and many more! We even offer a CPD in Growing and Building Your Hypnotherapy Practice – a great next step if you’re feeling stuck.

CPHT Hypnotherapy Training: Hypnotherapy CPD: Why Continuous Education is Vital for Hypnotherapists

The world of hypnotherapy is always changing, as modern living and events give rise to new challenges that people need supporting through. As such, maintaining up-to-date information on the latest hypnotherapy methods is vital to ensure you can continue delivering reliable support to your clients.

At CPHT, we help hypnotherapists at all levels of education to develop their skills, find their specialism, and receive the necessary knowledge and experience to achieve success out in the working world. In this article, we’ll discuss what hypnotherapy CPDs are, what they can teach you, and why they’re important – giving you all the information you need to take the next step on your hypnotherapy journey.

Get in touch to find out more or enrol today!

What is a Hypnotherapy CPD?

A Hypnotherapy Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a course designed to build on your knowledge after graduating from a hypnotherapy diploma. It provides further guidance and information into a specialist or niche subject matter, helping you become a true expert.

Our CPD courses are interactive sessions, delivered online so you can participate from the comfort of your own home. This enables you to continue your hypnotherapy work at your location of choice, while still being able to further your development with our in-depth courses.

What can Hypnotherapy CPD Courses Teach Me?

There is a vast range of topics and programmes that hypnotherapy practitioners have available to them, helping them to expand their knowledge and skills across diverse areas of practice. We have dozens of courses available, but some popular options include:

Working with Children

This CPD covers working with children and teenagers, through informative discussion, engaging activities and a wide range of creative ideas and resources.

Menopause

CPD Menopause

The menopause is an emotionally and physically complex issue. This CPD will give you an understanding of the issues, and the confidence to support clients experiencing it.

Eating Disorders

This CPD is aimed to help hypnotherapists recognise and treat clients presenting eating disorders. It will also cover the impact of dieting, the importance of food on the brain, and how to give appropriate support.

Fertility

You can build a better understanding of fertility and infertility, and the impact these issues can have on people’s lives, to help people find coping mechanisms to obtain happiness and fulfilment.

Neuroscience

In this course, you can uncover the neuroscience behind solution focused hypnotherapy, helping you more confidently assert the science behind your practice.

OCD

This CPD will enable you to work confidently with clients experiencing OCD, and will highlight how to tailor the brain explanation and therapy sessions.

…and Many More!

At CPHT, we have an incredible range of hypnotherapy CPDs available to help you tailor your career in the exact direction you choose. This means making a massive impact for your chosen customers, with courses designed to prepare you for any eventuality.

Explore our hypnotherapy CPD courses to find the next step in your hypnotherapy education >

How to Specialise as a Hypnotherapist

The main way to specialise as a hypnotherapist is to attend a CPD, which will give you advanced knowledge in a particular subject matter of your choosing.

You can then take this knowledge and accreditation, and market yourself towards people with these particular problems. Over time, this will lead to further refinement and specialisation due to your accumulated on-the-job experience.

Other ways you can enhance your skills include taking part in our community, or furthering your knowledge through an advanced hypnotherapy diploma course.

The Importance of Expanding Your Hypnotherapy Knowledge Pool

When it comes to improving your adaptability as a hypnotherapist, sometimes specialising isn’t the only way to go. Dealing with a specific problem can benefit from a wider pool of knowledge and experiences to draw from, helping provide context or unexpected avenues which could be fruitful in your practice.

Even if your intent is to specialise in a given set of issues, having wider knowledge is still useful. This can help you to identify if the root cause of an issue is different to the problem being described, or provide unconventional solutions that could be applicable on a case-by-case basis.

Our hypnotherapy diploma is designed to give you a solid background on everything you need for your hypnotherapy career, providing the foundations to branch off into your specialisms while giving you all the fundamentals in solution focused hypnotherapy and marketing.

Quality Hypnotherapy Training from CPHT

The right hypnotherapy training can make a world of difference for you and your clients, and set you up for success in a specialism of your choice. It gives you the tools and resources you need to dive deep and tackle challenges in an area close to your heart.

The Benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (SFH)

by
The Benefits of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy

Solution Focused hypnotherapy is a guided method for helping people overcome their problems, and as such comes with a number of benefits for both patients and practitioners.

At CPHT, we provide quality hypnotherapy training for budding and established hypnotherapists, giving you all the skills you need to succeed in this impactful industry. In this article, we’ll go over the key benefits of solution-focused hypnotherapy and highlight cases where it makes the greatest impact.

What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy?

Solution Focused Hypnotherapy is a modern approach to therapy that combines talking with hypnosis. It focuses on what clients want to achieve (the solution), rather than on the problems that brought them to therapy in the first place.

Drawing on solution-focused therapy, neuroscience, and positive psychology, it helps people move forward by encouraging thinking positively, setting goals, and entering a relaxed state of being.

Why is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy So Impactful?

Solution focused hypnotherapy offers a plethora of benefits, which is why it is such a wide-spread method of resolving people’s issues. These benefits include:

  • Versatility
  • Client satisfaction
  • Speed of resolution
  • Results-oriented approach

Below, we dive deeper into these benefits to give a better insight into why solution focused hypnotherapy is a great choice.

Effective For a Wide Array of Conditions

Being versatile is essential for many different health practitioners, as you never know what issues someone will come to you with – so it’s best to be equipped to deal with them all. Practitioners can develop in-depth knowledge about a variety of conditions, with the opportunity to further specialise in areas that align with their interests or the needs or their clients.

Client-Centric Approach

CPHT Hypnotherapy Training - Happy Client

Solution-focused hypnotherapy is all about putting the patient first. It involves truly listening to and understanding their situation and needs, and forming the best action plan to steer them in the right direction.

With an end-goal of finding actionable ways for your clients to deal with or overcome their issues, you’ll find SFH gives rise to a whole host of happy customers.

Quick Positive Impact

Some clients find that a couple of sessions is all it takes to make strides on the road to recovery. Depending on the condition you’re dealing with, you could very quickly make a positive impact on your client’s wellbeing. Acting as a supportive partner to help people understand, contextualise, and work through their issues can be a long journey, but SFH helps you to see a positive impact fast.

Focuses on Preferred Outcomes

A massively important part of hypnotherapy is making your clients feel safe and heard. They’re often coming to you in a state of vulnerability, with past trauma close to the surface. Solution focused hypnotherapy enables you to dive deep while avoiding this trauma, helping your clients work towards their preferred outcomes without revisiting unwanted memories.

Key Use Cases for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy

As we mentioned previously, solution focused hypnotherapy offers a diverse range of use cases that all revolve around the mind. Many people get into SFH looking to treat a specific person or condition, such as:

  • Sports performance and training
  • Fitness and wellbeing
  • Weight loss
  • Mental health issues like anxiety
  • Phobias
  • Trauma
CPHT Hypnotherapy Training - Sports Performance

There are a surprising number of supposedly physical use cases like sports performance and weight loss than can see a great impact from solution-focused hypnotherapy. By tackling the mind, and changing the way people perceive and think about their problems, you can soon see physical results as well.

With so many different conditions that SFH can treat, we’d be hard pressed to list them all. However, it is an incredibly impactful therapy method for many mind-related issues. So if you don’t find your exact use case in the list, it could still be the right choice for you.

Free Hypnotherapy Training: Is It Worthwhile?

by
CPHT Hypnotherapy Training - Free hypnotherapy training: is it worthwhile?

Getting started as a hypnotherapist can be challenging. While no qualifications are legally required, you will find it tough to acquire customers – or know how to handle them – without at least some level of training. Some people try to avoid the upfront cost of hypnotherapy training, turning instead to free courses.

At CPHT, we provide a dedicated and quality service to help you become a certified hypnotherapist. We believe the cost of your training is an investment in your future, and it opens up a whole host of opportunities and unique experiences. In this article, we’ll explain why you may want to consider paid hypnotherapy training over free hypnotherapy training – comparing the two, and showing the benefits.

Start your hypnotherapy training today with our special early bird discount.

The Drawbacks of Online-Only Hypnotherapy Courses

Completing your training from the comfort of your own home, at your own pace, sounds almost too good to be true – and that’s because, for the most part, it is. For some, online hypnotherapy training is far more appealing due to other life commitments, but the level of quality and experience gained doesn’t hold up against in-person training.

Face-to-Face Experience

The best part of our hypnotherapy course is the on-the-job experience you will receive throughout. This puts you in the real world, with real customers, where you can see what it’s like to engage in a practice. Unlike online-only or free courses, this enables you to build up your experience – and your portfolio – so you have a leg to stand on when it comes to delivering your own practice.

Direct Guidance from Qualified Trainers

Online courses don’t have the same level of intimacy as in-person training. This can mean information isn’t as easily absorbed, or as readily available. You may also find yourself watching pre-recorded videos, with no platform to ask your own questions.

The in-person training at CPHT is a little different. Throughout your course, you will receive training from qualified trainers with a background in the industry. They’ll be able to impart lots of hard lessons learned about the job, helping you build your knowledge and satisfy any questions you may have.

Further Insight and Discussions

Finally, a free online hypnotherapy course typically starts and ends at the certificate or completion you receive. It is unlikely to lead on to any further insights, discussions, or specialisations.

Meanwhile, when you’re engaging in a live classroom, you’ll be able to find lots of opportunities to discuss things further and take your education to the next level. This can really help when trying to find the direction you want to take your career, and can even lead to opportunities like job placements or further educational development.

Online vs In-Person Certifications

The difference in quality between free hypnotherapy training and paid hypnotherapy training can be seen clearly in the level of certification you receive at the end.

At CPHT, our courses come in several stages, each giving you recognised qualifications that can be used to prove your competency and assure potential clients that you have the needed skills to resolve their problems and act as a trusted provider.

Online hypnotherapy training tends to give you a simple certificate to show you’ve completed the course. This isn’t as credible as a proper qualification like the one you receive from our DSFH diploma, to which you can add the HPD, a Level 4 Certification equivalent awarded by the NCH – the UK’s largest hypnotherapy association, upon completion of your portfolio.

Trust is incredibly important for hypnotherapy practitioners, both in resolving customer issues and in attracting business in the first place. Without the right qualifications, you may find it hard to get work or repeat business, which loses you money in the long run.

We run schools across the country, acting as a recognised provider of quality hypnotherapy training. This gives you access to a number of convenient locations to train, at prices that don’t break the bank.

See our different schools >

Unlocking Career Opportunities

Finally, a key benefit of our in-person training over online hypnotherapy training is the career opportunities it unlocks. There are a number of reasons why this is the case, which include:

  • We provide our trainees with marketing training, helping you get your practice off the ground.
  • Part of our course is on-the-job experience with real customers, giving you a wealth of things to draw from and confidence in your skills.
  • Further Development. If you want to develop your skills further, our range of other training courses and CPDs provide the next stage in your education.
  • Access to Our Community. Being part of the CPHT community will help build your network in the industry, unlocking potential career opportunities and providing a framework for support.

Start Your Hypnotherapy Career the Right Way with CPHT

Free online hypnotherapy training simply doesn’t offer the same level of quality, experience, or certification as our in-person diplomas. By avoiding the initial cost of training, you would also miss out on tons of opportunities and valuable lessons you can take to your future work.

At CPHT, we provide high-quality hypnotherapy training at affordable prices, giving you access to expert insights, tailored lessons, and a welcoming community. If you want to find out more, please check out our course details or sign up today!

What is Hypnotherapy Used For?

by
What is hypnotherapy used for?

Hypnotherapy is a versatile treatment that can be used to help people deal with a variety of issues. From mental health to physical wellbeing, the right hypnotherapy can support people through their personal challenges and help them achieve their goals.

At CPHT, we provide aspiring hypnotherapists across the UK with expert advice and quality training, helping you build your skills and experience as a hypnotherapist. In this article, we’ll explain some common use cases for hypnotherapy to show you how it can support clients of all kinds.

Check out our hypnotherapy diploma course here >

How Does Hypnotherapy Work?

Hypnotherapy is a combination of Psychotherapy and Hypnosis. 

Often referred to as a ‘talking treatment’, Psychotherapy involves talking together to help clients overcome their difficulties. Psychotherapy in itself is extremely beneficial and its effects are enhanced by the application of Hypnosis, a state of deep relaxation and focused attention in which the client is more responsive to beneficial suggestions directed towards the subconscious mind.

There are different types of Hypnotherapy. Solution Focused Hypnotherapy in particular focuses on solutions for the future, rather than analysing problems of the past. However all Hypnotherapy involves exploration and guidance from a trained, trusted individual making hypnotherapy suitable for working through a wide variety of issues. 

Find out more about how hypnotherapy works with our ultimate guide >

Common Issues Treated by Hypnotherapy

Due to the beneficial nature of hypnotherapy, it is a versatile form of treatment that can be applied to a wide range of health concerns and lifestyle challenges. While generally suited to dealing with problems with mentality, it can also have resulting impacts on a patient’s physical wellbeing, too.

Here are a few common issues that hypnotherapy can help treat:

Anxiety

Anxiety, stress, and other mental health conditions are some of the most vital use cases for hypnotherapy. Clients with these conditions will often be vulnerable and possibly even volatile, with triggers for their conditions causing major impact to their lives.

Hypnotherapy offers a gentle, focused solution, allowing you and clients to enter a safe space where beneficial suggestions can be directed towards the subconscious mind. This is an empowering process, helping clients take the reins back for their own feelings and future.

Weight management

For many, weight management is an incredibly challenging aspect of their daily lives. Getting back in shape can seem daunting, as the slow and steady progress that’s required doesn’t tend to show on a day-to-day basis. This lack of positive affirmation that tough effort is paying off can result in negative tendencies like overeating, lack of exercise, and low moods – all of which feed back into the overarching issue.

With hypnotherapy, you can help clients get out of these negative behaviour spirals, ensuring they can achieve their weight management goals.

Sports performance

Sports are highly competitive and very demanding, both physically and mentally. There will be times when athletes encounter obstacles they don’t feel they can overcome. Maybe their personal best isn’t improving, or is getting worse. Perhaps they recently lost an event by a large margin.

Whatever the case, hypnotherapy can provide much needed support and reassurance to improve sports performance. By guiding clients into a reflective state, you can reframe their thoughts and help get their mentality back on track.

… and many more

There are plenty of issues that can be addressed with hypnotherapy. From mental health to lifestyle and performance, hypnotherapy provides people with the support they need to overcome their challenges and live happy, fulfilling lives.

As a hypnotherapy practitioner, it is your responsibility to understand the requirements of different patients and provide the guided care they need to address their concerns. If you’re interested in a specific niche, then acquiring a hypnotherapy specialism can help you down your path.

Acquiring a Hypnotherapy Specialism

Many people enter the field of hypnotherapy because of a specific incident in their past. Perhaps a loved one is struggling with chronic pain or depression, or maybe a friend has had issues getting the motivation to achieve their goals. In any case, some hypnotherapy practitioners don’t want to have a broad, overarching clientele. Instead, they opt to specialise in a certain niche.

One of the best parts of being a trained, independent hypnotherapist is that you get to choose how you work and who you work for. If you want to specialise, then you’re fully able to do so. Specialising can even open up more work as you become a trusted name for patients with a particular issue.

Before you acquire a specialism, however, you’ll want to obtain a hypnotherapy qualification.

Quality Hypnotherapy Training in the UK

Hypnotherapy training offers you the ability to upskill, gain experience on the job, and receive a qualification that proves your legitimacy as a certified hypnotherapist. This encourages potential patients to get in touch, increasing your opportunities for work.

We also offer CPD training to help you further develop your career and specialisms – find out more >

Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy: What’s the Difference?

by
Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy: What’s the Difference?

Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy: What’s the Difference?

The brain is incredibly complex and can be affected by wide variety of medical disorders and mental health concerns. To get the help they need, people have different options for treatment, including talking therapies like hypnotherapy and psychotherapy.

While these practices have similarities and can be used together, they are different and have their own particular use cases. At CPHT, we have a strong understanding of when and where to apply each type of therapy, and in this article we’ll discuss the benefits of each, when they’re used, and how they can be used together to achieve the best results.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis techniques to treat conditions, emotional trauma, or unwanted habits. There are many different types of hypnotherapies that a trained practitioner can try to employ, and different ones might be better for treating certain conditions or patients.

A form of talking therapy, hypnotherapy starts by discussing goals with the patient to understand their objectives and the types of methods that might be right for them. From there, a hypnotherapist can:

  • Lead the patient into a relaxed state
  • Implant suggestions to dissuade unwanted behaviours or achieve objectives
  • Lead the patient out of the state of hypnosis

Hypnosis only works when a patient is receptive to it, and they are in full control, being able to reject any suggestions if they wish. Hypnotherapists need to build trust and rapport with their clients to ensure everyone is on the same page as to expectations and requirements for a successful treatment process.

What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is another talking therapy that helps patients deal with mental health conditions and unwanted emotional responses. Depending on its application, psychotherapy can not only alleviate symptoms but also work on uncovering and resolving the route cause.

Psychotherapy can be used to treat conditions and disorders caused by:

  • Stress
  • Trauma
  • Illness
  • Loss of loved ones
  • Mental health conditions (e.g. depression, anxiety)

Like with hypnotherapy, there are several different types of psychotherapies, with the best one to use being dependent on the patient and their situation. In combination with other treatments such as medicines or therapies, including hypnotherapy, psychotherapy can often achieve even greater impact.

How to Blend Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy Techniques

The route to achieving the best results for hypnotherapy and psychotherapy is not to utilise them in isolation, but to instead blend techniques from the two into a single process. Different aspects of hypnotherapy and psychotherapy can help to alleviate symptoms at various stages, and provide crucial information for highlighting the best treatment routes.

For example, training techniques such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) or focused therapies you might get from psychotherapy can provide great insight into a patient’s state of mind. Combined with the analysis of symptom root cause, psychotherapy acts as a perfect springboard for hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy works by building trust and understanding with your patient, and leading them into a relaxed state of mind. From there, your goal is to help them achieve their objectives with regards to their state of mind and wellbeing. Without firm foundations, you may find it difficult to understand their goals or build this level of trust and rapport.

With the building blocks in place from psychotherapy, you will be better positioned to relate to and support your clients through hypnotherapy. Throughout the journey with them, you will likely find other places that psychotherapy techniques can support your hypnotherapy efforts, resulting in the two working in tandem to help you achieve the best results.

Develop Your Hypnotherapy Skills with CPHT

While psychotherapy helps to understand and work through the root causes of conditions and emotional trauma, hypnotherapy plants suggestions and steers people towards a conclusion they can be comfortable with. Together, these services can help you build a strong understanding of your clients, actively working to resolve both the issues they’re having and the underlying reasons behind them.

At CPHT, we believe in providing quality, comprehensive training to aspiring hypnotherapy practitioners – giving you all the necessary qualifications and access to further resources to ensure you can offer the best service. To book your hypnotherapy training today, get in touch.

Your Next Steps: Building a Career in Hypnotherapy

At the start of your career, you’re likely to need to work weekend hours and evenings, as these are the times when clients are most likely to be free. As you progress, you’ll have more experience and renown, which will make it easier to get clients to match to your schedule.

There are a couple of different ways to start out: joining a practice, or becoming a sole trader.

Joining a practice will give you the support of a larger group, but may make it more difficult to progress your career in the way you’d like – and you’ll also get less of a cut from your work.

As a sole trader, you’re responsible for finding and carrying out your own work, along with everything that entails. However, this means you can pursue the jobs you want, set your own schedule, and receive the full profits, making it a lucrative option that many hypnotherapists choose.

As you develop your career, you may find a specialism you want to go down. To do this, focus on jobs relating to that specialism, and build a name for yourself. Attending CPD courses can also help you refine your knowledge on particular subject areas.

Hypnotherapy Training FAQs

How does Hypnotherapy Work?

Hypnotherapy works by addressing subconscious patterns and behaviours that people might have, even when unconscious or asleep. By guiding patients into a relaxed, focused state, hypnotherapists are able to provide suggestions and reframe negative thought patterns, promoting positive change. Sessions are designed to be gentle, empowering, and tailored to the patient’s needs, with hypnotherapists often specialising in particular areas like stress or addiction.

Who can become a Hypnotherapist?

Anyone with the right mindset, passion, and skills can become a hypnotherapist. If you’re interested in a career in hypnotherapy, you likely already possess the former features, and you can obtain your skills by receiving a certification in hypnotherapy through a training course.

Is Hypnotherapy Training Expensive?

Hypnotherapy training is a valuable way to obtain new skills. You will learn all the fundamentals of the subject, obtain hundreds of hours of practice, and find out the basics of running a business – leading to better returns after you receive your qualification. At CPHT, our course also teaches you marketing, making it easier for you to succeed after the training. By looking at your expected returns after the course, you can make a decision on whether or not the initial costs are worth it to you.

How We Support You During & After Your Training

by

Hypnotherapy Support & Supervision, During the Course & Beyond

Our hypnotherapy training students come from many different walks of life. Some people start with no experience of the therapy world at all, while others come from a different type of hypnotherapy. We recognise that every student benefits from the right support throughout our hypnotherapy course – and beyond.

Training support during your hypnotherapy course

No matter your background, working with live customers who have real emotional and mental health needs can be daunting. Often, the thought of setting up a private practice as a self-employed therapist is even more nerve-wracking.

Encouragement from Day One

Our early support aims to help you feel confident and get off to a flying start. We want you to think, “I can do this!” rather than, “What have I got myself into?”

CPHT’s supportive ethos is evident right from the first weekend of the Hypnotherapy Practitioners Diploma. From day one you’ll be getting hands-on experience, but don’t worry – we won’t throw you in at the deep end. Our senior lecturers will be right there with you, showing you the way, step by step.

We layer our teaching, starting with the basics, both at a theoretical and practical level. We ask you to practise the first steps just with friends and family at home.

Our lecturers take the opportunity to quietly observe students in their practical work on the course. If they feel a student is having difficulty, the first intervention is always to provide support, explanations and demonstrations. Each of our friendly, experienced lecturers are ready to offer a helping hand or a word of encouragement, and you’ll always have access to your senior lecturers when needed.

We believe this early support is important for building your skills and your confidence at a pace that works for you. We’re setting the stage for your success – not just in the course, but in your future career as a hypnotherapist.

Individual and Group Support

Each weekend our trainers lead group discussions. We aim for a relaxed and open atmosphere so our students can feel comfortable sharing their recent client experiences. This allows lecturers to provide additional support, ideas and different ways of thinking.

This approach also enables students to learn from and support each other; inevitably, someone asks a question that another person didn’t feel ready to ask.

Teaching adds another layer of technique and research during hypnotherapy training. The teaching weekends provide time for students to practise their new learning within a learning environment. They can then go off again to refine their skills at home with real clients.

Whilst on the course our lecturers are your supervisors. We’re on call between course weekends to answer any queries you have about case study clients. Many students say how much they appreciated the support they received between teaching weekends.

Career Guide

Ongoing support after completing your hypnotherapy training

The ethos of support is ingrained in our hypnotherapy training, so our graduates take it with them into their practice and their ongoing interactions with colleagues. Even years after qualifying, a CPHT graduate is never isolated. Whether in person, by phone or online, our graduates continue to benefit from the support of their colleagues.

Hypnotherapy Supervision

All our hypnotherapy training graduates have access to memberships for a wide variety of professional bodies, such as the National Council for Hypnotherapy and the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH). These all require regular, ongoing hypnotherapy supervision.

Hypnotherapy supervision helps you to build confidence in your decision making, as well as providing opportunities to reflect on what you might do differently. This is an important part of any hypnotherapist’s continued professional development.

Supervisors are highly experienced hypnotherapists. They are trained to help other hypnotherapists discuss their thoughts on how to proceed. You will have a lengthy list of experienced CPHT supervisors to choose from. They will help you to continue expanding your knowledge as you move forward in your career.

Whether you’re new to hypnotherapy or have been practising for years, guidance from a more experienced colleague can be helpful. Supervision enables you to discuss any challenging cases with your supervisor in a safe and confidential environment. Their expertise can help you enhance your skills and knowledge in hypnotherapy.

You can choose whether you prefer 1-to-1 supervision, group supervision or a mixture of both. 

In 1-to-1 supervision you meet privately with your supervisor. This enables you to have flexible sessions that are entirely tailored to your individual needs. It gives you time to thoroughly discuss your own cases and any professional issues in-depth.

Our students love the team environment on our training course and sometimes want similar support after graduating. You can access this through group supervision. With group supervision you’ll have the support of a supervisor and the supervisor’s other supervisees.

Similar to the group discussions in training, you will benefit from positive interactions with others. As a sole trader you can be on your own a lot, so should seek out the safety net of peer support where possible. Meeting up with colleagues helps maintain a good mood, as well as enabling you to trade ideas and thoughts with a greater variety of peers. Along with the benefits for your career development, this can be a huge motivator.

Continuing professional development (CPD)

CPHT has spent over 20 years developing resources to support you to further your career. Whether you want to deepen your knowledge, specialise in areas like working with children or addiction, or simply have another way to stay connected with colleagues, our continuing professional development (CPD) courses ensure you have the support you need. They offer positive interaction with peers and the opportunity to exchange ideas.

Like supervision, CPDs are often a requirement of professional hypnotherapy associations. Depending on the professional body, they can consist of 2 days per year. CPDs are about more than developing knowledge for client work and can include professional development that supports your business in general. This could be a first aid or bookkeeping course – the important thing is that you benefit from continued learning that grows your understanding and confidence.

How to train as a hypnotherapist: what training do you need?

While there are no specific qualifications needed, the best way to train in hypnotherapy is through an accredited training school.

Find accredited training

You should look for a hypnotherapy school that is accredited by professional hypnotherapy associations, such as the National Council for Hypnotherapy. This guarantees that the school satisfies a certain quality and fulfils specific criteria, such as offering a minimum of 120 hours of classroom training to become a hypnotherapist. It also reassures you that the trainers have been assessed as competent and experienced hypnotherapy practitioners.

Check the qualification offered

The content of different schools’ training courses could look similar. However, you should look into what qualification you will be awarded upon completion. Check whether it is externally verified and accredited by a government regulated body or a professional hypnotherapy association, like the NCFE, the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) or the Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (AfSFH).

Training schools accredited by the National Council for Hypnotherapy will offer a Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma. This is a credible, externally validated diploma that consolidates your learning, enhances your professional status among peers and allows clients to verify your qualifications easily.

Can you train to become a hypnotherapist part-time?

One reason many people are attracted to a career in hypnotherapy is the flexibility and control you can have as a self-employed hypnotherapist. From full-time employees who want to change careers to full-time parents looking to return to the world of work, everyone’s lives are busy. Those who already work in a therapy or medical field, but are looking to expand their skill set are also attracted to hypnotherapy training.

As a result, some hypnotherapy training schools offer similar flexibility to people while they are training to become a hypnotherapist. CPHT’s hypnotherapy course training takes place one weekend a month (some schools offer limited weekday training), while the coursework enables you to fit all the training around your current work and life commitments. This means it’s perfect for those who want to train to become a hypnotherapist part-time.

Salary Details

How much time should I expect to dedicate while I train?

In addition to being in the classroom for one weekend each month, on CPHT’s Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma course you’ll also see case study clients in between. You are asked to meet with a minimum of 5 case studies per week. You will see them on an ongoing basis, so that doesn’t mean you need 5 new case study clients every week.

You will also need to complete a portfolio of work. This can take weeks or sometimes months to prepare. It will depend on your focus and what time you have available to complete the questions and case studies.

Download the full CPHT prospectus.

From month 1 you will be able to confidently practise relaxation on the couch with family and friends as a student practitioner.

By the end of month 3, you will be helping people with stress and mild to moderate anxiety.

Each module builds more knowledge that you can practise outside the teaching room. So, as we add weight management or phobias, helping people with depression, OCD, PTSD or smoking cessation, you will be able to go and practise that with your appreciative volunteers.

You will also learn psychotherapy skills – you will soon see that it’s not all about what happens on the couch. No swinging watches or old-fashioned stage induction tricks here. Instead, we use modern, up-to-date research and evidence-based psychology tools. You will learn the best ways to support people with all of these on our course.

Once you’ve completed key tasks and been approved by your tutors, you can start to charge half price to your clients as a student practitioner.

Find out more about how much you can earn as a hypnotherapist.

Becoming a qualified hypnotherapist

During your training, CPHT provides individual support as needed, both on teaching weekends and between weekends. Once you have graduated and become a hypnotherapist, we offer individual supervision and continuing professional development courses to support your growth as a practitioner. We even show you how to measure client outcomes, which is great to build confidence for both you and your clients.

By the time you complete CPHT’s Hypnotherapy Diploma course, you will have had lots of practice over the 10 months of training. You will have seen the results working with your volunteers, and you may have already started to get word-of-mouth referrals.

As a result, your business can be up and running by the time the course is completed, ready to launch your career in hypnotherapy.
