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.

The Clifton Practice offers a welcoming and professional environment for students. Easily accessible by public transport and with nearby parking options, the location is both convenient and enriching. The practice is fully equipped, with modern facilities, large classroom and dedicated therapy rooms for practical learning.
 
Bristol itself is a vibrant and dynamic city, known for its rich history, creative energy, and diverse wellness community. With excellent transport links and a strong reputation for innovation, it’s the perfect setting to train in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.

    Paul Hooke
    Bristol Cpht is brilliant. I was made so welcome. The course was great. I miss it now I'm trained. Family run, lovely facility in Clifton. Very supportive and will teach you all you need to know, every facet of the job and with ongoing professional development. Students and staff were really great. Learning was a lot of fun. Highly recommended. Thank you to the teaching staff.
    Margaret Capon
    I loved the sessions on the CPHT course, the great tuition and support from our tutors and from each other in our group. I was very impressed with the solid evidence based research in neurology, and psychology that underpins the practice. I would strongly recommend this course. It was hard work, and quite intense at times, but great fun.
    Bryony Way
    I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the CPHT course in Bristol. Fantastic lecturers and a brilliant course. I cannot recommend it enough.
    Rob Dixon
    A fantastic course which was very practical and most importantly fun throughout. You will learn everything you need to be a successful hypnotherapist. Susan and Stuart are excellent lecturers and good fun. If you want to have a positive impact on poeples lives as well as your own, I can highly recommend this course for you.
    enfys jones
    This is the most prestigious college to train in Hypnotherapy, in the UK. The standard of teaching and classroom practice is extremely high (I say this as an experienced educator). The knowledge and skills you gain from completing your training at CPHT will set you up to be amongst the top practitioners in the country. I attained the diploma and then the advanced course (and a plethora of other CPDs), which I would highly recommend as it gives you an extra depth of skills as well as the specialist areas of work that is covered. The coursework is wonderfully holistic, giving you an understanding of hypnotherapy from its roots to its contemporary status. The added knowledge of neuroscience and research based studies you will gain from this course will set you above the rest and clients love this angle. You will leave with a toolkit of strategies, techniques and understanding all embedded in a rock solid, tried and tested formula that ensures you are ready and able to deal with any issues your very individual clients will present to you. David Newton has gifted this incredible technique: the combination of solution focused psychotherapy with hypnotherapy, to us and I will be forever grateful. This course changed my life and I absolutely love my work. Being in my consultation room and owning it is priceless. The more seasoned a practitioner you become after training, the more depth you actually grasp is within this very clever modern practice. I wouldn't hesitate. Sign up and be prepared for a lot of fun, laughter, interesting work (that doesn't seem remotely like work) and a skill-set that is heaven sent. Enfys Jones
    Christine Beardwood
    CPHT Bristol has a friendly professional environment giving clear understandings of the concepts and techniques of hypnotherapy in a fun way. There's support available when ever needed and they provide up to date research on brain science. I have done most of the courses available and hope to go to the new ones in the future. Training with CPHT has given me really helpful skills to enhance my life and the life of others too. Glad I chose to do this in my life. Christine
    Dipti the Hypnotherapist
    The Clifton Practice in Bristol is the Mothership of Hypnotherapy Excellence. I trained here with David Newton and Susan Rodrigues in 2012/2013.

    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.
    Clare Francesca
    Training as a Solution Focused Hpnotherapist at Clifton Practice 10 years ago at the age of 50 was the best move I could have made. I am enjoying a wonderful career doing something really useful and have never looked back.
    Lucy Gilroy
    This course gives you everything you need to be come a successful therapist. A diploma level course based around sound theory and a lot of practical experience.
