Hypnotherapy Training in Chester, Cheshire and North Wales
If you’re looking for professional hypnotherapy training in Chester, Cheshire, North Wales, Shropshire or Staffordshire, Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training Chester offers an accredited, practical route to becoming a qualified hypnotherapist.
Part of the Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training network of more than 20 schools across the UK, Chester specialises in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, combining neuroscience, psychotherapy and hypnosis with practical clinical experience. Our aim isn’t simply to help you gain a qualification. It’s to help you develop the skills, confidence and experience you need to build a fulfilling career as a professional hypnotherapist.
Learn from experienced, practising hypnotherapists
Your senior lecturers are Ali Hollands Hook and Jen Higgins. Between them, they bring more than two decades of clinical hypnotherapy experience, alongside their work as practising hypnotherapists, supervisors and educators.
That real-world experience matters. You’re not simply learning theory from a course manual. You’re learning how to work confidently with real clients, develop your skills as a therapist and understand what it takes to establish and run a professional hypnotherapy practice.
And your training doesn’t stop when the module weekend finishes.
You’ll have access to one-to-one support when you need it, regular progress check-ins and a supportive community with your fellow student hypnotherapists. We believe the course content is only part of becoming a great therapist. The practice, conversations, encouragement and support around it are what help turn knowledge into confidence.
Accredited hypnotherapy training over 10 months
The Hypnotherapy Diploma Course is delivered face-to-face over 10 months, with one training weekend each month. This makes it possible to train alongside your existing career and commitments while giving you time between modules to practise and develop your therapeutic skills.
Your training can lead to three respected qualifications:
- Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy™ (DSFH)
- Level 4 Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD)
- Level 4 Clifton Practice Diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy (CPSFH)
Throughout the course you’ll study neuroscience, psychotherapy, hypnosis and Solution Focused therapeutic techniques, while gaining practical experience working with real people. You’ll also learn about the practicalities of becoming a professional hypnotherapist, including the business skills needed to establish and grow your own practice.
