What our students say about us

During each session the theory was discussed and then applied to the hypnotherapy practice. This occurred from the commencement of the course, so that by the end of the modules, trainees were feeling confident in all areas of hypnotherapy. Lauren was informative, professional and it is obvious she has had many years of experience teaching and practicing as a hypnotherapist and clinical supervisor. An excellent course, providing a practical career for the future.

I loved all of the course! I liked that it went from the history of hypnotherapy to contemporary practice, and the way theories were presented, compared and analysed. Practical activities were introduced at the beginning of the course. This introduced hypnosis quickly and gave me the opportunity to explore techniques and theories.
