    What students say about our hypnotherapy course...

    What can I say? I'm still recovering from one of the best learning experiences of my life. The teaching methods and support was invaluable. I pushed myself to new levels and my comfort zone was tested on many occasion. All to which I managed to accomplish.
    I look forward to my new career.
    This was a major career shift for me following an early career in information technology and12 years as a university lecturer in the arts. At 70 years old I was worried that, perhaps, I had left it too late. But the course is well structured and Ali is a great tutor. So, here I am now designing my website and preparing for my new role as a hypnotherapist, keen to help and ready to learn even more!
    I really enjoyed and benefitted from the Chester CPHT Hypnotherapy course I have just completed. I found it a good balance of practical and theoretical and have completed the course having done over 250 client clinic hours and having already helped people. I feel prepared and excited about my new hypnotherapy business and have felt very well supported and inspired by my tutors on the journey. Thank you so much.
    I did CPHT York...excellent course and would definitely say just go for it! Its changed my life in so may ways.
    Cathy has so much knowledge its insane and shes always willing to help at anytime! Fab person fab course get it booked xx
    I highly recommend this course. I completed the CPHT programme with Cathy and team in 2021 and it was an overwhelmingly positive experience with experienced, knowledgeable and supportive tutors. The course provided intellectual stimulation, practical experience and great fun. It contributed to my own personal development and developed the confidence to set up my own practice.
    What can I say about this course! Wow it’s not only changed the way I think in the most positive way it’s started me in a career I feel passionate about. Iv never met such Inspiring and encouraging people in my life the tutors on this course are amazing!
    I completed training with CPHT Liverpool in December 2021 and highly recommend this course. The tutors Cathy, Charlotte and Jen are very knowledgeable and skilled solution focused hypnotherapist who provided the perfect environment for learning and the development of a career as a solution focused hypnotherapist. I have learned so much and had lots of fun along the way. It has been a life changing experience and I would happily do it all again.
    I would fully recommend this course to any one that would be thinking about it.
    I recently qualified at the Liverpool course,and the tutors ,Cathy, Charlotte, and Jen, were absolutely brillant in the way the presented the course , which made it enjoyable to learn, and would say its a life changing course in more way s then one
