Advanced
Diploma in
Hypnoanalysis and Integrative Psychotherapy
(NVQ in Counselling Level 3)
Continuing
training for a career as a Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist
...
Course Aims and Objectives
We believe that every human being has the potential to
learn and to achieve. There will be an emphasis on
the support system provided by the school. As future
support providers, students will have to learn to ask
for support and to be prepared and able to give it
to their fellow students. Each teaching day will start
with a brief sharing to provide space for students
to express their feelings and to ask for support, with
emphasis towards the impact / bearing of the course.
During the course, students will contract to work within
the same group of three students for ten sessions. This
will provide students with the ability to manage long-term
therapy, to develop a therapeutic relationship and to
assess and work with underlying issues and sub-personalities.
Students will have the opportunity to work with the same
client for ten sessions, to be a client for ten sessions
and to observe ten sessions. This amounts to a total
of 30 sessions of continuing therapy.
There will be an emphasis on diagnostic criteria, to
enable students to diagnose and treat a variety of
emotional and physiological disorders and to adapt
themselves to the variety of presenting problems imposed
by the stressful reality of daily life.
The Course aims:-
| 1. |
to further develop self-awareness and reflect on
how life experiences may facilitate or impede the
counselling & hypnotherapy skills process. |
| 2. |
to increase
knowledge, skills and awareness of the counselling & hypnotherapy
skills interaction and process, and the inherent
structural inequality in the process. |
| 3. |
to increase student understanding of the tasks,
processes and dynamics of the learning group and
the impact the group has on personal and professional
development. |
| 4. |
to enable
students to recognise and use a complete set of
core counselling & hypnotherapy skills within
the framework of the analytical therapeutic model. |
| 5. |
to further
develop the student's understanding and ability
to operate, as appropriate, within the framework
of the humanistic model of counselling. |
