NEXT COURSE – IN-PERSON 8-DAY INTENSIVE TRAINING COURSE
IN LONDON, ENGLAND
20 September – 27 September 2025
Combines 2 courses – HYPNOTHERAPY SKILLS FOR LIFE CHANGE (HSLC) and CLINICAL HYPNOTHERAPY (CH)
60 hours live in-person training
60+ hours high-quality specialised filmed materials for supplementary self-study plus comprehensive written training materials
HSLC: Learn proven methods of hypnosis to effect personal change in yourself and clients. The course introduces you to the exciting world of hypnosis and the powerful effects of hypnotic trance and suggestion. You learn to use hypnosis to create change in emotions, thoughts and behaviour. Successful completion of this course enables you to practise trance and suggestion effectively, combining the two in powerful programming to address common problems with many individuals, including smoking cessation, weight loss, unwanted behaviours, stress management, performance enhancement, and teaching self-hypnosis.
CH: Learn to apply effective, dynamic strategies to achieve therapeutic effects by using hypnosis effectively to access the client’s subconscious, emotional, non-logical activities of mind. You learn to become a highly effective therapist by developing the “second level”, in-depth hypnosis, that is, how to work with clients who have a complex or resistant response to trance and suggestion. You study the art of applying hypnosis in a variety of clinical settings to a wide array of problems. The use of in-depth hypnosis provides a rapid and powerfully effective method to address personal problems, psychosomatic illnesses, stress problems and to achieve personal development, performance enhancement and personal goals.
Our courses teach you:
* a wide range of trance and deepening skills, because different methods suit different clients
* a deep understanding of what hypnosis is and how it opens up the subconscious to programming for change
* a thorough training in powerful communication methods you can easily and naturally use while engaging with your client in the session
* how to design programming for change for individuals and group sessions – performance enhancement, stress management, achieving individual goals
* self-hypnosis for extending stamina, increasing focus, enhancing motivation

‘‘HTI is highly recommended. I have taken the course on hypnotherapy skills for life change and am certain that I will learn what I need to learn to become a hypnotherapist in the programme and will take the other three courses. The learning materials and vast experience of Dr Butler, and the important complementary information provided by Sharon Young, offers a solid understanding of hypnotherapy.
