HYPNOTHERAPY TRAINING SCOTLAND
Why Do It?
The Diploma in Analytical Hypnotherapy
Practitioner Course (Dip.AH)
Hypnosis and therapy content you can use
- Learning proven and effective hypnotherapy techniques from trainers with practical daily experience of helping clients successfully with many different problems and opportunities.
- Focus on specific real problems clients present you with from smoking to weight control to anxiety and depression, pain control to performance improvement.
- Using a wide variety of hypnotherapy techniques – not just suggestion therapy. Other Trainers may advertise Introductory and Advanced courses. This one covers both.
- Gaining experience of advanced, analytical techniques to keep therapy both short and powerful, using psychotherapy, Ericksonian approaches, guided imagery, age regression and revelation processes.
- Keeping a practical balance with the theoretical, with a high emphasis on actual clinical ability and involvement, maintaining interest and enthusiasm.
- Acquiring working NLP skills to enhance your dealings with clients and the effectiveness of your hypnosis, whether you intend to set up in practice or not.
- Learning the part other courses can miss out – selling and marketing. Apart from being technically competent and being a great therapist it’s all for nothing if no one knows about you and no one pays for your services. Where therapists fail, it’s mainly in this department. We want you to win in therapy and in business.
- Good advice about setting up in business – maybe for the first time. Learn from our mistakes, not yours.
- Acquiring a respected qualification, which you can use in your correspondence and advertising. Gaining recognition by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council and becoming a registered therapist with opportunities to advertise and obtain indemnity and public liability insurance as a practising professional. Application packs for this purpose are available on request from the GHSC.
The Practitioner Level Course offered by HypnoPerth has been Assessed and Validated at Practitioner Level by The General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (UK). Graduates from this course are eligible for professional registration with The General Hypnotherapy Register (the GHSC’s registering agency), together with the acquisition of the industry-based award - The General Qualification in Hypnotherapy Practice (GQHP). You ar also eligible to be placed on the National Hypnotherapy Register (NHR).
An essential prerequisite for practising professionally is to acquire Professional Liability and Indemnity Insurance. These qualifications enable you to obtain this type of insurance.

Location
Apart from Perth’s own natural beauty, if you intend to do a hypnotherapy practitioner course in Scotland, it would be hard to pick a more central location in Scotland to do so. Perth is
- A convenient centre for all the major cities in Scotland with good rail and road links
- Commutable for many people within what you might consider a reasonable radius (avoiding overnight accommodation costs). That’s why I do 9-5.
- If you do need to stay overnight there is a good choice of reasonably-priced accommodation locally
- If numbers are small enough (max 6) then the course will run at my practice (see photo). If greater than this then another venue will be arranged.
Backup and Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
Some courses offer backup post-graduation. Hopefully it’s not going to be skimped. Or telephones and emails go unanswered with no call-back - just plain unavailable. Once the course is finished you may feel you’re on your own. Replies can be unhelpful or non-existent. For someone just qualified as a hypnotherapist this is really discouraging and can in the worst case mean the therapist loses confidence and stops practising, going back to some other job - more common than you’d think. My philosophy is quite different. My promise is - if you need an answer you’ll get it to the depth you require. If I can’t answer it I’ll find out or get someone who does know, to do so in a reasonable time frame.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is a professional requirement of the GHSC and I will either help with this service myself or you can with your own further studies. I undertake to perform the supervision task for 6 months post-graduation. Beyond this Sue McIntyre - a very experienced therapist and supervisor is available on a paid basis via email and phone and again I have and will continue to offer this service personally. Note that I am a GHSC Peer Group Co-ordinator for this area. Regular meetings with other professionals are great for feedback and further learning.
Keep your course costs down.
If you’re already a therapist or are intending to set up a new business as a therapist, the last thing you need as a sole trader are large costs. Similarly if you’re a professional who wishes to use hypnotherapy as part of your medical or nursing practice you’ll want to ensure you receive best value. Otherwise, anyone can appreciate that rising costs can be overcome by choosing excellence at lower cost. I keep costs down by -
- Offering a convenient location. Other courses tie you in to accommodation which pushes up the price substantially and in certain circumstances almost double what I offer (e.g. If you can commute. If you have to stay in accommodation there’s still a good price advantage where certain courses are still 50% or so above).
- You don’t need a prerequisite course (e.g. NLP)- this one gives you the full qualification. This could save several hundred pounds or more. And save time. Time=money!
- Not having large fixed overheads like specialised property.
- Hiring in qualified specialist advisors and trainers for specific parts of the course rather than employ them full-time.
- Issuing disk-based materials rather than print everything and put them in fancy binders. The essentials are printed. Most of the material is in fact in the required book-list, which is sometimes duplicated unnecessarily in courses run elsewhere.
Hypnotherapy Practitioner Course (Dip.AH)
“Excellent course - delivery and content. Thoroughly enjoyable whilst being a beneficial learning experience.” Most enjoyable part? “...All the analytical stuff and the practical sessions involved. The case studies are also an excellent means of consolidating the theory”. BM, Arbroath.
“Very enjoyable course - giving lots of information and support throughout. This will give me lots of new skills to utilise at work and every day. I enjoyed the practical sessions particularly and working with case studies at home.” FC, Tullibody.
