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.
