Get in Touch!When choosing to train as a hypnotherapist, I am well aware that you have many choices and that it can be very confusing and difficult to determine which course would suit you best. To help, I have listed the primary benefits of training with me, including some questions that you might like to ask other schools if the issues raised are important to you.
The UK Academy Bath/Bristol/Cheltenham/Cirencester is part of a national group , so you can be sure of a secure structure with plenty of support available before, during and after your course, not just from me, but also from the other tutors. We can offer supervision and on-going training, if you want to do this with us, but you are free to move on to others if you choose. If support matters to you, you may like to ask other schools about the breadth and depth of their support structures, and whether you are tied to them for supervision or on-going training after your diploma.
I am a qualified teacher/trainer with a Cert Ed and long experience of teaching as well as a qualified hypnotherapist. I have also undertaken specific training in the education of hypnotherapists through the National Guild of Hypnotists (USA). This means that not only do I know my subject, I also know how to teach you so that you learn efficiently. If this matters to you, check out the educational credentials of other trainers that you are considering.
While there is no regulation of the profession of hypnotherapy in the UK, there are National Occupational Standards (NOS s). The Principal and Vice Principal of The UK Academy were on the panel of eight who created these standards, so you can be sure that your training will meet these standards. If this matters to you, check if other courses are geared to meeting the NOSs.
In 2001 the National Council for Hypnotherapy inaugurated the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma: the first nationally accredited qualification in hypnotherapy open to all regardless of background. Our Principal and Vice Principal were instrumental in this development, and in the intervening years the HPD has gone from strength to strength. It is a “level 4” qualification, and is currently validated by the NCFE awarding body. If you study with me, you will produce a portfolio of work which, when satisfactorily assessed will give you this important credential. You will also gain the school’s own Diploma in Clinical and Advanced Hypnosis. The HPD is, by many, considered to be the “gold standard” in hypnotherapy qualifications, and we at The UK Academy strive to be a beacon of excellence in the delivery of this qualification. I am also an assessor for other schools for this prestigious award.
Within The UK Academy we have a philosophy that ensures that all tutors are full-time practitioners in addition to their training. By this we mean that they derive their primary income from seeing clients: this ensures that they “walk the walk” as well as “talk the talk”. You will find that we often have examples of current clients to tell you about that illustrate theoretical points. There are some trainers who set up a school because they can’t make it as practitioners. Would you want to be trained by them?
We believe it is vitally important that you see demonstrations of techniques and also get to practice. This gives you the confidence to practice with “real people” as soon as (if not before) you qualify. I say before, because you will be given permission to work with certain issues at certain points in your training. Not all trainers demonstrate, and not all give you a chance to practice and build your confidence.
The UK Confederation of Hypnotherapy Organisations which was created in 1997 by our Principal, Shaun Brookhouse, insists that schools train to minimum standards of 120 hours face to face and 450 hours of total study time. Naturally, I agree that courses should be of this length, to ensure that you have time to learn and consolidate your knowledge and experience.
It is important that you are able to see a full syllabus before you start the course and that this has sufficient depth to enable you to start in full practice as soon as you qualify. Our prospectus lists all elements of the course, and not only do you get full coverage of hypnotherapy, but Neuro-linguistic programming is covered to Practitioner level too.
Our course also includes business/practice management and ethics. So often hypnotherapists fall at the first hurdle because, while they may be wonderful at what they do, they don’t know how to get the clients. The UK Academy has a great depth of knowledge and experience in this area that you can draw on. All our tutors around the country are willing to share with you what works and what doesn’t so that you can learn from our successes, and our mistakes!
We do not take just anyone onto our courses. You will be interviewed to ensure that you are suitable for this profession of working with vulnerable people, and, very importantly to ensure that The UK Academy is right for you. If I feel that another course would be better for you (and this does happen), I will tell you, and advise you of who to approach.
We actively enforce all our policies, including equal opportunities. We will make any reasonable adjustments to ensure that anyone can take our courses, if suitable, and we do not discriminate on any grounds. Any special leaning needs will be catered to if possible. For example a student with dyslexia would be able to provide portfolio evidence in recorded rather than written form if they wished to do so. The learning environment is safe, confidential and supportive.
I am happy to receive student feedback: questions, comments or suggestions at any time in the course and will do my best to adapt to any requests that are made. Hypnotherapy is an “individual” profession in that it is important that you are encouraged to be yourself as a therapist and to find your way to practice. So your opinions matter!
Ethical considerations are all important in a field where one is working with vulnerable people. We cover these in depth. Check with other schools as to which, if any, code of ethics they subscribe. They should be bound by a training code of ethics as well as teaching you one for practice.
As previously stated there is no regulation of hypnotherapy in the UK, but we still believe it is vital to your career for you to belong to strong professional bodies that can give you long term support. Our course is accredited by the National Council for Hypnotherapy in the UK (you receive free trainee membership while studying), and you are also entitled to join the NCHP on completion of your course (you receive one free year). You can also become a member of the CNHC as you will have a recognised qualification.
In The UK Academy we have a belief in the importance of teaching small groups. I have a maximum of 8/10 students in my classes which ensures that you get personal attention. Ask other schools about their class sizes.

Hypnosis is a natural state of being which all of us have experienced. In your childhood you were in trance or hypnosis a good deal of the time. You already know how to do it. It’s just that many people keep putting themselves into negative trance and need to learn how to put themselves s into positive trance. Hypnosis can feel like daydreaming or when you are immersed in a good book , a film or a computer game. Sometimes when you are driving along a very familiar road you are in a light hypnotic trance and mildly surprised when you reach your destination.
Perhaps the secret of hypnotherapy is that you can learn to guide yourself out of your negative trances into more positive ones with a little guidance from a competent, ethical practitioner.
No; you are in total control of your own thoughts. The hypnotherapist cannot make you bark like a dog or cluck like a chicken, unless that’s is what you wanted to achieve and any good hypnotherapist would not consider those to be viable outcomes.
No. Stagehypnotists sometimes use similar induction techniques to a hypnotherapist, but stage hypnotists are using hypnosis to entertain people and use on stage those members of the audience who can go verydeeply into trance and who wish to be famous or have their few minutes of fame.
No, you can move around and talk. This is what children do as they are naturally intrance. Having said that, I notice alot of people who spend alot of their lives in a negative ‘trance’ or state of mind, imagining the worst, resisting change and being stuck in a rut.
Yes if you want to. You only make the transition into hypnosis if you want to.
No, you already know how to do it. You have been doing it since the day you were born
No; there is hypnotic language used by sales people and in advertisements, in politics and meetings but you only accept theses suggestions if you feel inclined to do so.
No.
No. Some clients occasionally fall asleep during hypnosis but hypnosis is not sleep
No.
You will need between 3-8 sessions, although, as you are in control of your own therapy length and intensity you can leave when you feel you can manage without my help. I always tailor make your therapy and give 100%, aiming to work with you as thoroughly and quickly as possible.
An initial FREE consultation of 15 minutes is available for you from Get Mind Fit to see if your problem would be appropriately treated with hypnotherapy. Afterwards, each session, lasting around 50 minutes costs £70 or lasting around 75 minutes costs £100.
To cover administration costs, appointments not cancelled 48 hours beforehand or no shows may be charged a fee of £50.
