There’s a difference between knowing the theory and knowing what to do at 3pm on a Tuesday when a client goes somewhere unexpected
Most therapists leave their initial training with some knowledge and a persistent, quiet anxiety about whether they’ll know what to do when it matters.
That gap – between what you learned and what you can do fluidly, confidently, in the room – is exactly what my training addresses.
With 25 year of full-time clinical practice, I don’t teach from textbooks. I teach from the accumulated experience of thousands of hours in the therapy room, with the full range of presenting issues, the resistant clients, the complex cases, and the moments where the right intervention isn’t obvious. What I offer is the difference between knowing a model and knowing how to use it – elegantly, flexibly, in real time, with a real person sitting in front of you.
What the training develops
This is as much about adding deeper knowledge and more techniques to your toolbox, as it is to deepening the quality of what you already do.
Training with me focuses on:
- Therapeutic language and presence: Refining how you communicate, not just what you say, so that your words land with precision and your presence itself becomes therapeutic.
- Rapport and unconscious communication: Working at a deeper level of connection with clients, including the non-verbal and the implicit.
- Clinical judgement: Knowing which intervention to use, when to use it, and when to wait. This is the skill that separates competent practice from genuinely effective practice.
- Therapy planning: Building session and therapy plans that are specific, targeted, and adapted to the individual client rather than the presenting issue.
- Working without reinforcing: Learning how to help clients resolve issues without inadvertently strengthening the very patterns you’re trying to interrupt. This is more common than most training covers, and more important than most therapists realise.
The aim is not only to make you a more knowledgeable therapist. It’s also to make you a more grounded, confident, and consistently effective one – someone who can adapt to each client rather than fitting each client into a protocol.
Is this training right for you?
The training I provide is designed for qualified therapists who are ready to go deeper.
It’s particularly well suited if you:
- Deepen your knowledge and ways of working with clients across a number of different issues.
- Want to feel genuinely confident with complex or resistant clients, not just competent.
- Find yourself relying on familiar scripts or approaches and want more flexibility.
- Are getting some results but want them to be more consistent.
- Want to expand your range without the overwhelm of starting again from scratch.
- Are ready to develop your own integrated therapeutic identity rather than borrowing someone else’s framework.
My training will suit you if you’re interested in a career as a hypnotherapist, newly qualified and looking for foundational or deeper training, or if you’re an experienced therapist ready to move on towards exceptional.
How the training works
Training options range from diploma and advanced diploma to focused specialist workshops. Rather than offering a fixed menu, I work with you to understand your background, your clinical interests, and where you most want to develop – and from there we design a training plan that fits you specifically.
That conversation costs nothing. It’s simply the most sensible starting point.
