Welcome to CPHT Bristol
CPHT Bristol has been at the heart of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy since its inception.
The very first course was held here in 2002, and the school has continued to thrive ever since. As the birthplace of Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, the foundations were laid in 1995 when David Newton and his wife Stefanie opened The Clifton Practice in Bristol. Today, the practice and CPHT Bristol are run by Oliver Newton, one of David’s sons, ensuring the family’s legacy and passion for hypnotherapy continues.
The success of CPHT Bristol paved the way for the establishment of 25 fantastic CPHT locations across the UK, Scotland, and Ireland, making high-quality training in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy accessible to aspiring practitioners nationwide.

What students say about our hypnotherapy course...
At this time, my life was in a very dark place as I was going through a divorce and my mother had died of cancer a few weeks before I started my training.
Because of the supportive training and Solution Focused skills I quickly learnt I was able to pick my life back up and build a business from scratch and it ended up being one of the happiest times in my life.
Since then, I have built a very successful and thriving Hypnotherapy Practice in the Cotswolds as well as a busy International practice online.
Training as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist is one of the most rewarding careers ever, and the support you get after your training is excellent.
The continued professional development is very comprehensive. You get regular supervision contact, additional learning, marketing help, business skills and pastoral care - and this is very helpful as you build your business.
Thank you Clifton Practice, Bristol for everything you have done for me.
