Skills
Your
first steps to a career as a Hypnotherapist & Psychotherapist
...
The Foundation Diploma Course in Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP & Counselling
Skills is the first step to training to become a Hypnotherapist.
Entry Requirements
None! This course is open access,
we strongly believe that every body has the potential
to self actualise.
All you need is
a heart and a voice and we will do the rest!
The course assumes no prior knowledge
of Counselling or Hypnotherapy and is open to all students.
Applicants must show evidence
of the ability and willingness to undertake the necessary
study and students are required to have sufficient emotional
maturity to be able to cope with the course requirements.
Applicants should also be able to demonstrate appropriate
interest, enthusiasm and life experience and to show
aptitude and potential for study both at home and on
course weekends.
It is our opinion that, as a
rule, applicants under the age of 22 have yet to develop
this maturity and would, therefore, find the rigours
of the course too demanding. However, in some circumstances,
students who can demonstrate the emotional maturity to
adequately cope with the course requirements will be
accepted. This age-restriction is also applied with consideration
for the student’s protection. Such graduate practitioners
are likely to be seen as “too young” and,
as a result, may find it difficult to establish a client-base.
Course Requirements
The Foundation Diploma in Clinical
Hypnotherapy, Counselling Skills and NLP has been designed
according to the latest
requirements of various professional organisations
and provides 64 hours of face-to-face tuition. Anyone
who
wishes to become a therapist capable of helping those
suffering from emotional disorders requires a thorough
and comprehensive training which includes a study of
psychology, theories and methods of psychotherapy and
a variety of hypno-therapeutic techniques.
Students
are expected to take full case histories, to maintain
confidential records and to communicate with
practitioners engaged in other fields of therapy. Opportunities
are provided for students to present and offer case
histories for open discussion. Students are expected
to submit
30 case histories for feedback demonstrating development
of their skills.
Throughout the training there
will be an emphasis on developing self-awareness, personal
growth and self-development.
Students are encouraged to develop their own counselling
style, integrating various approaches for the benefit
of the client, and to practice co-counselling with
other
students.
Course Duration
Appreciating the
pressures of modern life, time and financial constraints,
the training is conducted at weekends.
Students are expected to attend one weekend per month
for 4 months, providing a total of 64 hours face-to-face
tuition in accordance with current guidelines from
professional organisations.
The training days combine
an appreciation and study of theoretical approaches
with the opportunity for plenty
of practical experience.
Times: 10:00 – 18:00
There
are two breaks of 20 minutes and a one hour lunch break.
Students are encouraged to bring food to share
with the group and the lunch break is an integral part
of the course, providing opportunity for students to
share their experience, converse with or question the
tutors and relax together.
Students are also encouraged
to meet regularly between the course weekends to enhance
practice and benefit from
the exchange of information with students who are already
working in the caring professions. Study groups are
run in various locations for this purpose.
The course
is taught and supervised by tutors who are all professional
practitioners. Guest lecturers who specialise
in a particular field are also invited to provide course
instruction from time to time.
