Train to be a hypnotherapist

Professional qualifications, a calm manner and trust are all essential for clients when choosing a hypnotherapist. While we can’t supply all three for you, we can certainly help you become a qualified and competent professional from our taster days to our validated diploma programmes, Powys Hypnosis will guide you through all the elements.

The benefits of becoming a hypnotherapist are numerous, not least the ability to help people easily overcome, what can be for some, lifelong problems. Treatment is often quicker than going for counselling, you don't need to delve into the details of their past and for many people there is less stigma about seeing a hypnotherapist than a counsellor.

As a trained hypnotherapist you can practice from your home and work hours which fit into your life.

There are no special requirements or prior qualifications but it is best suited to people who are really interested in helping others, are good listeners and who are keen to learn and continue learning.

If you have already made up your mind to become a hypnotherapist, congratulations you have made a great decision

At powys hypnosis we believe in the very best training and offer a diploma in clinical hypnosis.

The Practitioner Level Diploma in Clinical Hypnosis offered by Powys Hypnosis has been Assessed and Validated at Practitioner level by The General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (UK). Graduates from this course are eligible for professional registration with The General Hypnotherapy Register (the GHSC’s Registering Agency) at full Practitioner status, together with the acquisition of the industry-based award – The General Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice (GQHP)’.

The course will be taught over 10 modules. Each module costs £300 (£500 off total cost of course if paid in full prior to starting) and the course is run in the Welshpool area.

Assessment will be through written assignments, written case studies and observation of skills throughout the course with a final practical exam. The underpinning philosophy and theoretical approach of the course will be eclectic but with a bias towards the cognitive behavioural approach.

'Phil provided an environment which was very conducive to learning. Excellent explanations of therapies, protocols and laws etc. Phil made it all seem so easy and the course was taught in a very relaxing manner. He was very supportive and never tired of giving explanations when needed. I really enjoyed this course and am delighted to have met and been taught by Phil. A good comprehensive course.
