Hypnotherapy Training College

Training at the hypnotherapy training college has been a fantastic experience, every step of the way. I really enjoyed the homestudy element of the training that I was able to do in my own time and at my own pace. I was expecting brief feedback and support back for the work I submitted, but the depth of feedback I received was greatly beyond my expectations – these in depth responses always gave me a new angle to consider and always left me keen to progress to the next module of work. This homestudy course provides a great opportunity to learn more about hypnotherapy and to establish if the practical course may be for you, but it is also a great course in its own right and I would recommend it to anyone just wanting a thought-provoking course that they can do at their own pace. From the second I started doing this homestudy element I knew that I personally HAD to go on to do the practical course so that I could learn more, not only about hypnotherapy in general but specifically about the unique approach of Lesserian Curative Hypnotherapy. The exceptional feedback and support that I received on the homestudy element really made me confident that the Hypnotherapy Training College practical course would be of the same high standard. In fact, if anything, it was even better! On the practical course, the small and select group size meant that that we got a really high level of support and teaching that was definitely value for money. The course structure and all the written material was excellent and very clear and thorough – it was exciting to know what we would be covering each day. The feedback for each self-study element between course weekends (i.E. Homework!) was again superbly detailed. Feedback was always encouraging, thought-provoking and in-depth and really helped me to progress through the course with confidence and enthusiasm. The main thing that really set this course apart from other hypnotherapy courses (aside from the select group sizes and the unique approach of Lesserian hypnotherapy itself) was the fact that we actually saw our tutor (the principle of the College and experienced hypnotherapist Helen Lesser) providing treatment three times per day for three different patients! This was an absolutely invaluable experience and I cannot imagine going into successful practice myself (which I now have) without first having seen such sessions in action. It felt like a great privilege and an honour to see such treatment first hand and I know that I and the other students were really grateful to the participating patients for letting us share in their treatment. The fact that they were patients who were entirely new to Lesserian Hypnotherapy treatment themselves (i.E. They hadn’t simply been cheery-picked as past successful patients) meant that we students were learning all about the treatment alongside them. This unique set up (of watching live sessions) greatly appealed to me when I chose this course, but I had also been a tad worried that there might be some awkwardness in this or that it might seem false to actual life. But in fact these worries were completely unfounded – the volunteer patients had a relaxing and enjoyable (and life changing) experience getting rid of their symptoms, and the students were able to share in this in a way that was absolutely genuine and supportive. It really was an invaluable experience. What was nice was that the patients came to want the students to succeed and to learn (so that we could go on and qualify to help others like them) as much as they wanted successful treatment for themselves. So ultimately there was a lovely bond between both the therapist/tutor, the volunteer patients and the students and we were all overjoyed to see the patients ultimately cured of their varying symptoms through Lesserian Hypnotherapy. I went home every evening from the practical course absolutely buzzing with all that I had learnt and couldn’t wait until the next day. This course was really intense though - I was really surprised by how much we fitted in, and we were having to constantly think and reflect and get our heads around complex ideas every minute. After the homestudy element I had high expectation of this practical course and every single expectation was vastly exceeded. I was very pleasantly surprised by just how challenging and rewarding this course was and how much I got out of it (including a successful new career and a new outlook on life!). All the support and guidance that I gained from the college throughout the course has continued throughout my working practice as a hypnotherapist. This support and guidance from Helen Lesser, other therapists and other past students is absolutely priceless. I can honestly say that I have used my brain more studying Lesserian Hypnotherapy than in anything I have previously done (including past undergraduate and postgrad degrees!) The practical course (and the ongoing diploma) definitely isn’t just an easy walk in the park. But for anyone wanting to use their minds, willing to learn and wanting a rewarding new career then I thoroughly recommend it.Moreexpand_more
