You'll begin to understand how to work with the subconscious in a conscious state, using methods that empower clients to access inner resources and rewire unhelpful patterns.
You'll also be introduced to Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and learn powerful, solution-focused strategies to help clients overcome fears, dissolve phobias, and break free from limiting beliefs. These tools support fast, meaningful change — helping clients reconnect with a sense of strength, calm, and confidence.
Importantly, this module also integrates core counselling skills essential for building trust, creating psychological safety, and supporting deep therapeutic work. You'll develop your ability to listen actively, respond with empathy, hold space for emotion, and guide conversations with clarity and compassion.
By the end of Module 4, you’ll be equipped with practical, evidence-informed techniques that bring about real transformation, and you’ll have the communication skills to apply them with professionalism and heart.
Throughout Modules 5 to 10, You'll learn how to apply the tools and techniques you've learned in specialist areas.

Module 5 is the first of our workshops, here we take a journey though time to discover the basic viewpoints, theories, methods and technologies of psychological science. You will examine basic psychological phenomena such as human perception, memory, thinking, language, consciousness and emotion so that you can have a scientific understanding of the mind, behaviour and establish critical thinking. We journey to the present date and see through a microscope what is happening in the brain when we think, feel, imagine and remember and how this has an impact on the cells of our body. We look at what is happening in the brain when our clients are in a trance state and how that can guide us in selecting tools and techniques.
We then look at pharmacology and the impact of specific medicines, the theories, research and hypnotherapeutic interventions to assist with tolerance, withdrawal and how to work alongside other medical and health practitioners.
This teaching enables us to understand deeper the therapeutic interventions we can offer with hypnotherapy to assist with PTSD, Depression and Panic disorders. You'll complete three eLearning modules of academic study and be able to attend Masterclasses, Practise sessions and Peer Supervision.

Module 8 is our women's wellbeing module. Hypnotherapy offers holistic support for various women's health stages. For menstrual cycle difficulties, it aids in reducing stress and pain through relaxation techniques. In natural fertility, it addresses anxiety and enhances emotional well-being, potentially boosting conception chances. During pregnancy, hypnotherapy fosters a calm mindset, eases discomfort, and aids in preparing for childbirth (hypnobirthing). In menopause, it assists in managing symptoms like hot flashes and insomnia, while promoting emotional balance. By harnessing the power of the mind-body connection, hypnotherapy proves advantageous in alleviating challenges across these stages, fostering overall women's health and empowerment. You'll be given access to 4 workshops and loads of supportive resources that will enable you to specialise in this area.
