The Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy (CHP) Course
The Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy (CHP) course is designed for both existing professionals and new therapists who are looking for powerful techniques to assist others to overcome their problems. Hypnotherapy has long been recognised as a direct and powerful means of creating change through accessing the mechanisms of the subconscious mind. When Hypnotherapy is united with Psychotherapy, it offers clients greater assistance in overcoming both the cause and symptoms of their problem.
Practical and down to earth, the success of this course is measured by the proven ability of the graduates to put into practice what they have learned during their studies. There is a combination of theory and constant practical application of modern techniques in conjunction with a strict Code of Ethics and everything is done under professional supervision. CHP also gives practical insight into realities of overcoming client problems and current therapeutic challenges.
