who have previously trained elsewhere to a level equivalent
to the SACH Foundation Diploma may also apply, subject
to assessment.
The successful applicant will:
a) be thoroughly prepared for the depth and style of
training.

Interview
and selection: (for non-SACH students only)
Following application:
a) the interview process will comprise both group and
individual interviews.
b) the group interview will focus on discussion
groups looking at (fictitious) case material. Experienced
tutors and course director will facilitate the
interview
groups.
Individual applicants’ input to these group
discussions will be monitored and evaluated. The
object of the group
interview is, above all to determine how individuals
are likely to interact with others during the course
itself. Due note will be taken of the likely anxiety
aroused in individuals by the process.
c) a member of staff unknown to the applicant will
conduct individual interviews where possible.
d) those students who are offered a place, after successful
completion of the interview process, will be asked
to supply professional and personal references.
Whilst formal academic qualifications are seen as an
indicator of ability to study, they will not in themselves
be seen as the only criteria to gain entry to the course.
The successful applicant will be one who can express
themself clearly, is able to read and analyse theoretical
texts, can conceptualise and discuss abstract ideas,
and is able to function in a co-operative and purposeful
way with other students, and can demonstrate a full commitment
to the course requirements and the ethos and style of
experiential learning.
The tutors of SACH have a wealth of knowledge and the
relevant academic qualifications in working and teaching
in this area, and the course equips you with the knowledge
to expand your business beyond the consulting room, to
the many groups and companies that require your expertise.
Course Requirements
The Higher Diploma in Hypnotherapy
and Psychology has been designed according to the latest
requirements of various professional organisations and
provides 180 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.
Opportunities are provided for students to present and
offer case histories for open discussion. Students are
expected to submit and deliver a seminar paper on a subject
of their choosing and to maintain a monthly journal demonstrating
a progressive development of their skills and understanding.
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 12 months, providing a total
of 180 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 gain 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.
