• The training programme is not a brief or superficial hypnotherapy course and does not offer “certification” for minimal training.

• The course does not use non-hypnotherapy methods to occupy the teaching time; as little as 50 hours or less of classroom training is often devoted to the "hypnosis" component of many courses in the UK.

• The training programme is not a correspondence course. These courses cannot provide an adequate training for professional practice.

• The training programme provides the student with methods far in advance of the relaxation and script-reading forms of hypnotherapy. This prevalent form of hypnotherapy is more accurately described as a very simplified form of “suggestion” therapy. This does not incorporate the sophisticated procedures of the analytical hypnotherapist and other methods

 • We offer advanced analytical hypnotherapy, not to be confused with superficial forms of hypnoanalysis and several other systems based on variants of early psychoanalytical theories or, in other cases, very basic systems of metaphsics   

• The course content is not based on theoretical speculation but on practical methods of clinical practice which have been shown to produce consistent results over a long period of time.

• This specialised course teaches clinical hypnosis separately from NLP, a system based on interpretations of Milton Erickon s clinical hypnotherapy, Fritz Perls’ Gestalt therapy and Virginia Satir’s psychotherapy. To become effective as a hypnotherapist requires a comprehensive training in hypnotherapy independently of the study of different systems such as NLP, EFT, TFT, EMDR, etc.  Courses teaching hypnotherapy in combination with different, if overlapping systems, can provide the student with a very inadequate training in hypnotherapy (and the other systems taught on the course) resulting in a lack of mastery in basic skills as a practitioner.  

Training programmes motivated very strongly  by commercial concerns may offer "certification" programmes in which hypnotherapy is "taught" in a few days along with NLP or other systems.  The graduates of such systems find very quickly that the "jack-of-all-trades and master of none" approach to therapy has failed to provide them with a proper basis of knowledge and skills to help clients effectively with deep problems.  These practitioners very often withdraw from practice from lack of success with clients, lack of fulfillment and satisfaction in their clinical work, a lack of referrals and an associated lack of financial success.
