PCHyp & CHyp Training Course Module Details
Hypnotherapy Practitioner Certificate Course
Learning hypnosis is an experiential process, therefore you learn by doing; both hypnotising someone and being hypnotised. These 2 day practical course modules give you an opportunity to practice the techniques that you have learned on the course, share your experiences and interface with other students. Hypnotic scripts and video demonstrations of the techniques from the course will also be made available to you indefinitely with no time limits.
These six (6) course modules make up a complete programme of learning, leading to a Practitioners Certificate in Clinical Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy (PCHyp). Once you complete the introductory module you can progress onto the Introduction to Hypnotherapy Practice module, followed by hypno-analysis and psycho-dynamic hypnotherapy, behavioural hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy and other specialist topic areas of hypnosis and hypnotherapy.
Successful completion of these 6 modules provides you with enough training which will allow you to begin practising as a hypnotherapist.
The CHyp online course is the exact same course as the PCHyp, except for the classroom attendance/participation component.
