Practitioner Level
VALIDATED TRAINING
General Hypnotherapy Standards Council

This Practitioner Training in Hypnosis offered by abetterlife has been assessed and validated at Foundation Level by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (UK).


This training will give you a deep understanding of how change happens using trance (hypnotic) states, and how to apply this in practice. Specifically you will learn powerful techniques which you can use in the waking state to bring about change prior to, even without, formal (deep) hypnosis. This will help you to bring about beneficial change for a wide range of people, in various cicumstance, as well as speeding up your work and improving your efficiency in therapeutic applications.  Your deeper understanding will enable you to easily develop your own hypnotic 'scripts' and procedures within deep trance work.

The course is delivered over 8 days, usually in three chunks, about one week apart. It forms Module A of two modules, (A) and (B), which together lead to Practitioner certification, the highest nationally recognised level of training as certified throught the GHSC. Module B is the 12-day training in Deep Trance Approaches

Fro certification at Practitioner level, the GHSC require not less than 120 hours classroom / personal tuition, and 450 hours study in total. In delivering this length of training, a great many hypnosis schools in the UK build on their core training with what you might say is a repetitive collection of basically similar hypnotherapy techniques. This can feel more like 'padding' rather than new material. I believe in delivering a more 'in-depth' understanding of how therapy with hypnosis actually works, so that you really get to know what you are doing. At this level, you will appreciate the commonality of the approaches so that you will feel confident to tackle a very wide range of presenting problems. 

Much of the course content is in common with what is frequently taught on many NLP (neuro linguistic progamming) tranings. You will also learn the amazingly powerful techniques of Time Line Therapy®. The combined tranings of Foundation Level and Modules A and B, are recognised and certified at Practitioner Level by the GHSC. You will also have the option of submitting your studies for certification in NLP and Time Line Therapy®, if you wish.

You can choose to study Module A at any time during your Hypnosis training. 

Just a footnote: there are some training institutes which offer a hypnosis certification as part of an NLP Practitioner training. Usually this comprises no more than a few days training in hypnosis, and very little of the strategies of using hypnosis for therapy. This is fine as an introduction to hypnotic phenomena but in my experience, not sufficient if you really want to learn the proper use of hypnosis for therapy.
