Training as a certified hypnotherapist with the The Hypnotherapy Academy is a special occasion!
By the time I became a hypnotherapy trainer I had done 4 diplomas in hypnosis. They all taught me things about hypnotherapy but they all lacked something in some way.
One of them taught too much theory and not enough practical.
One was too rigid in it's approach and I like to be more fluid and adaptable so I can work with pretty much any issue that a client needs help with.
One was old fashioned and relied on outdated approaches and stories to teach hypnosis.
And one was online and no one every watched me do hypnosis before I got the certificate. There was an exam but I wondered how they could really know that I had 'got it' and was good enough to work with clients.
So yes, by number 4 I knew hypnosis inside out and together had everything I needed. I knew I would one day teach hypnosis because I just want as many people as possible to know about it and benefit from it!
So the hypnosis training that I offer is complete, thorough and leans on the practical side because when you are learning you need to practice, practice. And I am there every step of the way, answering questions, coaching and supporting.
I don't hold back on my knowledge, I share freeley and want my trainees to succeed. They benefit immediately from my knowledge base and experience from working with many clients, over many years!
The other thing I include with my training is business coaching for 6 weeks after you complete your hypnotherapy training become a certified hypnotherapist.
This is because on my first hypnotherapy training course, 18 people trained but only 2 became thriving practising hypnotherapists (and one of them was me!). I put this down to two things. Not having knowledge on how to run and grow a therapy business and also a lack of confidence due to a lack of practice on the course.
So those things are built into my training and included in the price. You leave your 5 day in person hypnotherapy training a fully certified hypnotherapist, confident and competent to see clients the following day.
And then you start and grow your business the successful way with support.
