12 reasons to choose our course:-

1. Our course is carefully designed in that we cover the basics first and then go into the more advanced aspects of hypnotherapy and NLP. Then we pull everything together so that you will know how to best structure your treatment programmes for maximum effect.

2. We will explore the different theories as to what hypnosis is and what it isn't. This very important aspect of hypnosis is not covered by many courses (nor indeed most texbooks) and understanding this is very important. So we look at the so-called "state" theory of hypnosis and the "non-state" theory of hypnosis.

3. We also help you to understand how the mind works, and how it can (and very often does) work against us to cause unwanted feelings, emotions and habits. We keep you well informed of the latest developments in neuro-science, which will help to deepen your understanding further.

4. You will learn a wide range of techniques so that you will have a complete 'tool box' to help your clients, including:-

- suggestion therapy - direct and indirect
- several different approaches to dealing with the root causes (i.e. regression therapy)
- inner child work, including the informed child approach
- parts integration therapy
- several NLP techniques, including the fast phobia rewind, Swish and anchoring
- various cognitive-behavioural strategies
- percussive suggestion technique (PSTEC)
- the "3 Principles" of mind, consciousness and thought

and many more...

5. We cover a number of specialist areas, most notably:-

- pain management
- stress management
- smoking cessation
- weight management
- relief from anxiety and phobias
- mental coaching (for working with athletes, business people etc.)

6. We also include the very important topic of setting up in practice and marketing, including looking at legal and ethical considerations.

7. We study the work of some of the leading names in the field, both past and present, including:-

- Dave Elman
- Milton Erickson
- Ormond McGill
- Roy Hunter
