The Professional Practitioner Course is the course to study if you want to know all there is to know about Clinical Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy. It was originally developed and written by Terence Watts, one the most popular and successful Hypnotherapists, lecturers and published authors in the UK. It combines the experience of over 15,000 client sessions into an immensely practical and very effective training course. Everything you learn on this course is there for one simple reason, and that is – it works!

No experience is necessary because the training programme is designed to give you a sound working knowledge of the application of ethical Clinical Hypnosis, even if you have no experience whatsoever in this field. This Hypnotherapy training course is constructed in a modular fashion, with each module building on, and complementing the previous one. It covers everything you need to know to start finding success as a Hypnotherapist just as soon as you are qualified.

Practical Skill and Knowledge is acquired during the weekend training sessions with a mix of theory, demonstration and then individual practice with fellow students. This is carried out in a supportive and carefully supervised manner to ensure everyone can progress at his or her own learning pace.
