Our classroom-based course is tailored to suit all levels of experience, from the beginner through to those wanting to enhance their existing skills. One weekend a month for ten months, our teaching sessions are led by highly experienced lecturers, all of whom run their own successful hypnotherapy practices. You will learn from practitioners who are passionate about blending the latest neuroscience research with hands-on practical experience as well as being dedicated to helping you succeed in your own practice.
