Transforming Therapy

The HTI training programme over 200 hours provides the student with concepts and methods of hypnotism aimed at removing old limiting beliefs about the mind and its potential. The use of dynamic hypnotic methods combined with powerful insights into the workings of the mind provides the necessary practical and theoretical basis for powerful results in therapy. In contrast, many hypnotherapy courses traditionally have taught what is essentially a very elementary form of "suggestion" therapy which, for many psychological problems at best provides only limited benefits that are frequently transient. These courses do not teach in-depth procedures of advanced clinical hypnotherapy. The methods of advanced clinical hypnotherapy are also not to be confused with very basic forms of hypnoanalysis. The methods taught at the Institute work at a much more profound level and go far beyond the elementary forms of hypnoanalysis.

The HTI programme incorporates a comprehensive training in the radical, rapid-acting methods of the renowned hypnotherapist Gil Boyne. The Institute is the only training body in the UK licensed to teach Transforming TherapyTM, the system developed by Gil Boyne. All of the powerful, radical methods of hypnotherapy developed by Gil Boyne in over 50 years of practice and teaching are included in the training programme. An outstanding practitioner and teacher, Gil Boyne studied with pioneering figures in therapy including Dr. Fritz Perls, founder of Gestalt Therapy, Dr. Carl Rogers, the principal figure in modern counselling and Dr. Alexander Lowen, founder of Bioenergetics. Gil Boyne adapted and included the best therapeutic procedures from various therapy systems in hypnotherapy practice. These procedures, together with classical hypnotism methods and new techniques and principles which he developed for therapeutic work were incorporated into Transforming TherapyTM.

Gil Boyne holds a position of Director of Postgraduate Studies at the Institute and offers Masterclasses in Transforming Therapy.
