Vocational Training in Clinical Hypnotherapy

Clinical Hypnotherapy Treatments

Clinical Hypnotherapy refers to the use of hypnosis, a naturally occurring state of inward mental focus, in a practical approach, not only to phobias and anxiety, but also habitual behaviours, pain management, self-confidence and esteem, and the enhancement of creativity and learning.

With the regulation of the Hypnotherapy profession inevitable, and indeed welcome, it is of the utmost importance that hypnotherapists do not find themselves unable to practice as a result of any proposed future legislative changes, merely due to the fact that their training providers were not registered members of a professional body. The Insight Natural Health Clinical Hypnotherapy Practitioner course is validated by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council.

The General Hypnotherapy Standards Council, which oversees the General Hypnotherapy Register is one of the largest professional organisation's in the UK, with in excess of twelve hundred registered practitioners. Membership of the GHR will afford successful students the support of the major association in the field of Hypnotherapy, with GHR website exposure; indemnity insurance to practice, and, given the upsurge of medical referrals, details of NHS and BUPA registration processes.

Clinical Hypnotherapy will be of particular interest to those in the ‘caring professions’, as well as anyone with an interest in the field of Personal Development. Academic qualifications are of secondary importance, so the course is open to those with a genuine interest in hypnotherapy, even though they may not have accredited prior learning. Life experience and common sense are undoubtedly the most important personal qualities.

The work is predominately vocal and mental by nature, and does not necessarily exclude those with physical impediment. Mind-body medicine and the treatment of illness and disorder of an emotional or psychosomatic nature, are no longer considered the exclusive preserve of the medical profession; indeed such illnesses and disorder are often more effectively dealt with through an integrative approach than a drug based regime alone.
