Hypnotherapy Training Courses

Practical hypnotherapy training is very important part of our courses. We feel that many courses focus too much on the academic aspect, we give you all the academic material in our 600 page manual for you to read but during the hypnotherapy training we focus on helping you to think like a therapist.

During the course you will see the lecturers working with real clients, dealing with real issues that present during the session. You will see how a seasoned hypnotherapist deals with what emerges in real-time in what can be exciting and at the same time educational. It gives you a real feeling for how hypnotherapy works in practise and the kind of things you will need to deal with when you become a hypnotherapist.

The mission of our hypnotherapy training courses at The Surrey Institute is to educate, not train, students to be practitioners of hypnotherapy. So our hypnotherapy training courses educate you to deal safely, confidently and effectively with the enormous variety of presenting symptoms; physical, emotional or psychological – for which their clients will seek help.

We believe that really good hypnotherapy training courses are not just about giving you a lot of techniques. We feel it is really important to demonstrate the techniques, show how and when they would be applied and for you to understand why the particular technique is appropriate for the given problem. It is far more important to understand what you are trying to achieve with the client then you can decide what technique you are going to use.
