What students say about our hypnotherapy course...
On a professional level it has been incredible, learning a whole new skill, along with 200 client hours under my belt, so I finish feeling confident and ready to go out to begin my business now. Seeing client results and progress has been incredible and I have been blown away by the positive impact SFH has had on client lives as well as my own. I really feel that I am making a difference and this feels so good.
Holly and Brian are brilliant- their teaching is excellent and they are so generous with their wisdom and knowledge.
The weekends in college were fantastic- they were informative, sometimes challenging (great to get out of our comfort zone!) but always fun- we had so many laughs along the way. The course content is very comprehensive, so much information and very in depth, really interesting and always relevant.
It is hard and a lot of work, more than I realised when I signed up, however, it was 100% worth the effort to come out the other end as a fully qualified Solution Focused Hypnotherapist!
Thank you so much Holly and Brian and CPHT Surrey.
The course was comprehensive and we had a lot of opportunites to practice the skills on each other and volunteers during our course.
