Is it easy to have a career as a hypnotherapist?

  The answer to whether it is easy to have a career as a hypnotherapist is no. Some training providers, through their clever advertising, would have you believe it is. They will tempt you with how much you could make per hour, and even more cleverly forget to mention that it takes hard work to make a career as a successful therapist. These providers will lure you in with false claims just to get your money. Some people fall for this because maybe they are fed up with the job they have, and have dreams of helping people. There is [...]

What happens when you complete the course?

Many newly qualified therapists wonder what happens when you complete the course and can feel a lack of confidence when starting their new practice. They are concerned that they may not remember all the things they have learned. It’s particularly true if you are learning hypnotherapy and NLP at the same time.

How long does it take to train?

You may be wondering how long it takes to train to become a hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner. The answer is you never stop learning and training.

You cannot possibly learn to be a psychotherapist, counsellor, hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner, and maybe other skills, all in ten months. You need to learn just hypnotherapy and NLP to begin with [...]

One to one training

I first began one to one training in November last year. In that time I have noticed so many positive things about being able to train one to one in the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma and NLP certification. The benefits are so numerous and these are the things my students and I have seen. You don’t have to compare yourself with anyone else. It's just you and the trainer. You get 100% attention and can ask any questions, even if at times they may seem silly, as you know you are not being judged in any way. You get to choose the [...]

Some thoughts about one to one training

I have been having some thoughts about one to one training and what makes it such an attractive option for many people. Having conducted many successful group training courses in Hypnotherapy and NLP over the last 10 years I thought about offering the option of one to one training at the end of 2015. I have been pleasantly surprised by how many people have taken up this option. Robert suggested that one of the things that happens in group training is that the brightest people may be brought down to the average level of the group, and maybe resented by [...]
