This course is just brilliant

This course is just brilliant. Its a life changer. 1 weekend per month for 10 months at a venue whichever is local to you, where you will make new friends, learn about Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, the brain and psychotherapy. Great Tutors, Chester in particularly, my life changed from the day I signed up. I never imagined I could be a therapist and help people but it is my calling .10 months flew by. CPHT really are fab.

CPHT Belfast. Absolutely fantastic.

This was the most amazing course I have ever completed and I have completed a lot. Everything about the course was amazing. I always looked forward to the course every month. It was fun, interesting and interactive. The tutors were exceptional, they were always there and if you had a question, they replied swiftly. The idea of seeing clients from the first week was daunting but it was great to get the experience, because now I'm qualified and I have the confidence to continue to see clients and the tutors were always there if you needed support for the sessions. I couldn't recommend this course enough and if you have a calling to help people I would advise you to apply for this course.

DO IT!!

Undertaking the Hypnotherapy diploma course last year was one of the best decisions I've ever made - it was truly life changing! The standard of teaching was second-to-none and was made enjoyable and fun as well as educational by the brilliant teaching team. I have learned so much and am now helping people get the best out of themselves and life in general with Solution Focused Hypnotherapy.

best 10 mths ever !

The venues are well-chosen with consideration given to optimal learning. The interviews for enrolling are informal and yet professionally conducted. Lecturers are extremely knowledgeable and come with relatable working backgrounds. They are all supportive and attentive to students needs and genuinely fun, self aware and passionate hypnotherapists.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and am keen to chose more ways to learn and develop my practice through CPD within the CPHT 'family'

Curious and progressive experiential learning has suited me, being dyslexic ( and is definitely inclusive for neurodiverse potentials) and the variety and thought that is given to the proportion of groupwork and notes or audio visual resources is really well balanced.

Whilst students are expected to dive in with the hypnotism you are held well and every aspect of self employment or the best way you plan to practice is facilitated. Marketing considerations and setting up your business are incorporated into the learning throughout the modules.

If you are committed to helping people reach their potential, I say, do it, as it WILL change your life !
So much can be achieved in 10 mths

The Gold Standard for Hypnotherapy Training

**Rating: ★★★★★**

I recently completed the CPHT course in Belfast and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The lecturers are outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and always available for support, even outside of course weekends. The course itself is in-depth and very hands-on right from the beginning. We started working with clients from module one, which gave me practical experience and boosted my confidence immensely.

The support provided throughout the course is fantastic. I gained a wealth of knowledge and experience that I now use to help my clients with solution-focused hypnotherapy. It is incredibly rewarding to see the positive difference I can make in their lives.

I would highly recommend the CPHT course to anyone interested in hypnotherapy. It's comprehensive, well-structured, and truly prepares you to make a significant impact in this field.

I throughly enjoyed my training with CPHT. The course covered everything I needed to get me ready to start my business. The lecturers were brilliant and had so much knowledge. I had to miss a weekend at my regular centre due to having Covid and it was so easy to switch to another weekend and venue. Although in its early stages my business is going well! Thank you so much CPHT I definitely chose the gold standard in hypnotherapy training. Just working my way through all the CPDs now!

Transformational Experience with CPHT…

Transformational Experience with CPHT Hypnotherapy Course!

I recently completed a CPHT Hypnotherapy course, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! This journey has truly been life-changing. From the moment I enrolled, I felt welcomed and supported. The course materials were thorough and well-structured, making each concept easy to understand and apply.

The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about hypnotherapy. Their expertise and enthusiasm are contagious, and they go above and beyond to ensure that every student feels confident in their learning journey. One of the best aspects was the hands-on practice sessions, which really helped build my confidence in using the techniques.

The course also offered a perfect balance of theory and practical experience. Real-life case studies and interactive discussions allowed me to grasp the nuances of hypnotherapy and adapt my approach to individual needs. Plus, the ongoing support from both instructors and peers created a strong sense of community and collaboration.

What I found particularly impressive was the focus on ethical practice and client well-being. The CPHT Hypnotherapy course equips you with the skills to make a genuine difference in people’s lives, and it emphasizes the importance of doing so responsibly and compassionately.

Since the course, I've started working with clients and already see the profound impact of hypnotherapy in their lives. It's incredibly rewarding, and I owe it all to the comprehensive training and support from the CPHT team.

If you’re considering a career in hypnotherapy or looking to deepen your understanding of the practice, this course is an absolute must. The knowledge, skills, and confidence you’ll gain are invaluable. Thank you, CPHT, for an unforgettable experience and for setting me on a path to help others!

CPHT - the gold standard for training!

Hypnotherapy is my second career having spent many years in the NHS. I count myself lucky to have trained with CPHT in Peterborough. Excellent lecturers, extensive learning material and resources, plenty of support, and my fellow students were a great bunch. I really appreciated the monthly face to face sessions which gave us the opportunity to meet up and work together. This was also invaluable from a supervision perspective when we began to see our own clients. We learnt so much from one another. In my naivety I didn't realise that it is possible to gain a hypnotherapy qualification without actually seeing your own volunteer clients throughout your training! Watching clients progress gave me the confidence to believe that I would be a competent and successful practitioner once qualified. It seems that my clients agree. So thank you CPHT, why would you choose anywhere else?

Needs better communication!

I enjoyed the course but content very heavy and lots of work required outside of lessons which could have been made clearer when signing up. Lecturers were really good but our class had difficulty in communication with CPHT outside of course days. No follow up after completion.

Great support from the lecturers who guide with their expertise. In this course every month you will learn new skills and then go away and practice, building not only skill in solution focused hypnotherapy technique but also building your business. I am nearly finished the course and have everything in place to hit the ground running. Thank you CPHT Edinburgh!

I trained with CPHT 17 years ago.

I trained with CPHT in Bristol 17 years ago. It helped set me up with my self-employed business, which 18 months after I graduated was a full-time business. Because the course was so practical, working with real case studies, it gave me the confidence I needed. The support in between the course weekends was also excellent. I still attend now their very good Continual Professional Development days too.

A high quality course

I trained at CPHT in Bristol almost twenty years ago. The training was of excellent quality and has enabled me to have a very fulfilling career as a hypnotherapist since graduating. I suspect the training has gone from strength to strength as CPHT has grown and gone international. I still regularly attend CPDs and dip into all the resources available for graduates. As a training course it gives you a superb start and I would recommend it to anyone. In fact, I have, and a few of my clients and friends have gone on to train at CPHT.

The qualification is certainly worth…

The qualification is certainly worth pursuing. It is clinically based and unlike many other courses out there, it is structured in a way that is helpful to those who need to work full time. One weekend a month for 10 months is achievable with the added bonus that students will be working with up to 5 clients per week so giving invaluable experience from the off. The course is very well supported, both by the tutors and your fellow students.
