Entry Requirements: 

Entry into the second year Psychotherapy component requires undertaking our foundational holistic counselling qualification. Although there are some minor academic elements such as relating current neuroscience theories on mental health we provide additional help for anyone who finds this challenging. Also whilst most participants will be educated to university level this is certainly not a prerequisite as life experience is also an important qualifier. 

All participants at the outset undergo an initial informal interview procedure to determine suitable life experience and evidence of compassion, non-judgement, and empathy which we value beyond academic criteria.

With a solid understanding and skills in hypnosis established, the Stage 2 Course follows on by focusing on Behavioural Hypnotherapy (Behaviour Therapy techniques and approaches integrated with hypnosis).  In this course we focus on helping clients change behaviour as the key target for making change (and using hypnosis to help achieve that).

The Stage 3 Course covers Cognitive Hypnotherapy (Cognitive Therapy approaches and techniques integrated with hypnosis). In this course we are learning how to focus in on client's thoughts, beliefs, rules and assumptions as the key target for making change – and how to use hypnosis to help “restructure” thoughts and beliefs (known as “cognitive restructuring”).

The training provides a thorough grounding in modern Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy and covers much of mainstream Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

However, in addition to classical CBT there is a special focus on imagery techniques, imaginal exposure, relaxation training and a deep integration of CBT+Hypnosis+Mindfulness, moreover we have created several special integrative techniques (hypnosis+CBT+Mindfulness) that are unique to our Hypno-CBT® approach.

Moreover, the influence of both Greek philosophy, Yoga & Buddhist psychology/philosophy adds an experiential depth and a philosophical/spiritual dimension which enables therapists to engage their clients with deeper issues of life purpose and creating a meaningful well-lived life deeply alive to the power of the present moment and all that it contains.
