What we are not

• The training programme is not a brief or superficial hypnotherapy course and does not offer “certification” for minimal training (as little as 50 hours classroom hypnosis training is common 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 taught on the Institute\\\'s programme.

• We offer advanced analytical hypnotherapy, not to be confused with superficial forms of "hypnoanalysis"

• 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.

• The course does not use non-hypnotherapy methods to occupy the teaching 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 family psychotherapy. To become effective at hypnotherapy requires a comprehensive training of its own independently of learning NLP, EFT, TFT, EMDR, etc which require separate studies for their mastery.
