Solution Focussed Therapy
23rd February 2020
£199

A solution-focused psychotherapy approach is vital for shifting inner beliefs and habits that hold problems in place. And gives any talking therapist the gem of modern psychotherapy.
Not having to go into detail of a negative past or get bogged down with symptoms, you’ll have a clear session structure that will complement your present skills.
Skills which will boost your effectiveness, safety and confidence.
After this solution focused therapy workshop you will be able to:
•Ask questions that quickly shift a client’s negative orientation
•See through the confusing detail so you can identify and address patterns that hold the problem thinking or behaviour in place
•Discuss a preferred future and make clear mutually agreed goals
•Manage client sessions so that you help the client develop a positive expectation
•Relax your client’s emotional brain, help them gain access to their cognitive processes
•Help the client recognise the positive changes in between sessions
•Reconnect the client with their unique experiences to bring a sense of resourcefulness and hope
•Use scaling to clarify goals and positive emotional changes
•Keep the therapy moving in the right direction

What is solution focused brief therapy?
Solution focused brief therapy concentrates on a preferred future rather than the problem. It’s goal orientated practical and recognises that the client has resources and strengths that will contribute to the solution.
Solution focused skills stop you getting bogged down with the mass of information that a client gives. Sifting through all the detail to find a solution, can feel like wading through treacle. Sessions can become overwhelming, upsetting for the client and it is easy to feel ‘stuck.’ If you have ever felt as if you are going around in circles with a client or feel drained after a client session, then solution focused therapy skills could be the answer.
Solution focused courses in psychotherapy has basic understandings such as:
•The client possesses unique skills, resources and strengths that can help them overcome any difficulties
•A detailed history is not essential. (In some cases retrospective analysis can make a client worse. Especially when a client is very anxious or depressed
•Articulating the preferred changes is more important than understanding the problem
•Setting clear achievable, mutually agreed goals is essential for the direction of therapy
•Do more of what is working
•Effective therapy is a collaborative process, the therapist is mindful of the client’s unique circumstances experience and character
You will learn how to:
•Use questions to initiate expectation of positive change
•Set goals to create a clear mutually understood path for therapy
•Look at patterns not detail: how to avoid getting sucked in to a client’s negative mind set
•Uncover and utilize a clients innate resources and areas of competency
•Teach missing skills to aid recovery
•Use scaling to clarify goals and decrease emotional arousal
•Develop skills to
•Change limiting labels
•Reframe unhelpful beliefs
•Help your client gain clear perspective
•Set tasks for continued change outside the therapy room
•Keep therapeutic intervention moving towards the goals
•Separate fact from imagination
You will receive:
•A comprehensive set of course notes
•A one hour follow up webinar with the trainers to discuss your experience using solution focused therapy
•Visual aids for scaling with clients
•Coffee, tea etc through the day
Who does this course?
Hypnotherapists, counselors, coaches, teachers and front line health workers, who want a proven psychotherapy for safe, fast and lasting shifts in beliefs attitudes and behaviour.
Please note: There is some pre work and post course work to do for this module in order to get a certificate. This equates to 10 hours of CPD.

Metaphor and Story in the therapeutic setting
21st March 2020
£199

Learn the ancient and powerful art of metaphor to elevate your effectiveness and confidence in any client interaction
Why do this course?
Metaphor and story are powerful tools for any therapist. Strong emotion locks a person’s focus, black and white thinking is the foundation of many unwanted behaviours. Metaphor unlocks the gates to the unconscious mind and goes straight to where the problems are held to ring the changes in a natural way.
1.It is a powerful way to improve client outcome and overcome stumbling blocks to emotional and physical health.
2.Separates the person from the problem and helps to bring distance from the problem, calms the emotional brain and makes intervention easier.
3.If you could just ‘tell’ a client to see the problem in a different way, our job would be done in seconds but that’s not how people work. Metaphor bypasses rigid views and allows for creative thinking, so solutions and more helpful viewpoints are uncovered.
4.When you know how to use metaphor you have the capacity to step into your clients’ world and build advanced levels of rapport. This prevents resistance and allows the client to come to their own unique and meaningful solutions quickly – without being ‘told’.
5.Your brain is a pattern-matching organ and your unconscious mind works with patterns rather than detail. You have the unconscious ability to understand patterns in metaphor and story and relate it to your personal experience.
“Throughout 20 years of working with clients, I don’t know any more powerful tool than my ability to work artfully with metaphor.’
Jill Wootton

Core learnings
1. The pre-induction talk is a key element of hypnosis to clarify the client’s beliefs, goals and expectations.
2. Potential misconceptions about hypnosis are cleared up in the pre-talk to increase suggestibility of the client.
3. The information obtained from the pre-talk is valuable in formulating an effective induction script and suggestions.
4. There are many induction methods of which rapid induction, pace and lead, physical posturing, sensory overload, stealth, visualization and eye fixation techniques are some of the most commonly used.
5. All induction methods aim to distract the conscious mind to gain direct access to the subconscious.
6. In ideomotor signalling, the hypnotist uses physical movements to communicate with the client’s subconscious.
7. Ideomotor signalling is useful to get a commitment from the cli-ent’s subconscious or access information that is not available to the conscious mind.
8. In hypnosis, amnesia is used in two ways, namely to facilitate amnesia so that the subconscious stays in control of the infor-mation, or to explore experiences hidden to the conscious mind to reframe the information and perceptions positively.
9. The age regression technique is used to take the client back to an initial sensitizing event to achieve catharsis and remove its influence from the client’s life.

Core learnings
1. Suggestions work best if they are targeted precisely at a prob-lematic belief or behaviour of the client and utilizes a technique that matches how the client’s mind functions.
2. The hypnotist first identifies the problem behaviour and its un-derlying belief before formulating the goals with the client, which are used to write the suggestion script.
3. Although many ready-made scripts are available and useful for various conditions, writing a script on the fly has the benefit that it is tailor-made and caters for specific personality features, goals, expectations, behaviours and beliefs of the individual cli-ent.
4. The script writing begins with the client writing down his pre-senting complaint, what change he would want to achieve through hypnosis and list as many as possible benefits that he would experience if successful.
5. This information is discussed further and clarified with the client in the pre-induction talk after which it forms the basis of the script.
6. Every different stage of hypnosis requires a suitable tone, pitch and volume of voice that is compatible to the message being de-livered and the client’s personality.
7. Relaxation and hypnotic induction typically requires a low, soothing and quiet voice but with spoken words clear and loud enough to avoid the client from straining.
8. Instructions and suggestions can be given in a more commanding and authoritative voice; the tone must be confident and persua-sive, and the pace faster to distract the conscious mind.
9. In the process of awakening, the hypnotist’s voice is soothing but returns to normal so that the client can easily reorient.
10. Repetitions and pauses are often utilized to drive and reinforce suggestions.

This course will help you understand the critical factors impacting your business right now, then refocus and realign with the business strategy and psychology you need for competing and innovating
You can be excellent at your profession; an expert at your field and amongst the best! For example you can be an excellent personal trainer, coach, work shop presenter, though if you do not run as a business the chances are you will not survive in business.
To know where you need to go in any situation, you’ll need a map. And the map must be up-to-date and accurately reflect the current landscape. To understand where you have to go, you must first be able to locate where you are on that map. To do that in business you must answer five critical questions. What business are you really in? Why did you get into business in the first place? Who are you and what is your core talent? Where are you in the lifecycle of the industry, and the economy, and as a business owner? And finally, what’s next? Today we will break ground on the path to your compelling future.
The importance of Knowing exactly where your business really is — not where you think it is. The competitive advantages that put you in business and made you successful in the first place are almost certainly not sustainable moving forward.

14th March 2020, 9.30am – 4pm
Discounted price for members of the GHR & NCH - £150 (standard cost £170)
If you are a Hypnotherapist, therapist or you work with clients in any capacity, you can add to your skills by using Counselling techniques like Transactional Analysis. Or, perhaps you would like to have greater self-awareness or maybe you are already a counsellor but aren’t confident in using it. If you fit into any of these categories then this workshop is for you.
Using TA (Transactional Analysis) with your clients not only helps break down a client’s psyche into understandable and workable chunks but it also aids communication. As an experienced BACP accredited counsellor tutor Claire Walsh still heavily uses TA in her work but the wonderful thing is TA is just as useful to the beginner.
This workshop is a mixture of theory and practical work built around giving you confidence to use your new found skills from day 1 after the course.
You will learn theory and gain new skills in the following;
•What exactly TA is and how to use it effectively
•How TA looks at communication and how to use this method for the benefit of self and others
•Understanding your own internal dialogue
•Helping others to understand their own internal dialogue
•Understanding the importance of our blueprint and how to work with it

Building your Therapeutic Tool Box – One Day CPD Workshop

26th April 2020, 10am – 4.30pm
Discounted Rate for members of the GHR, NCH and BIH: £150 (Standard Price £170)
It is sometimes easier as a practitioner to rely solely on a variety of scripts to help a client. Scrips are useful and have their place, and they can work wonderfully well. However, there are a myriad of amazing techniques out there and as a compulsive course taker and therapist with 20 years’ experience, I have pulled together some of the most valuable, included some self-developed techniques.
Some of the techniques you might have heard of or even use, and if you do it would be great to have your experience on the course. Some you might have learned once and would like a chance to practice and some, I’m sure, will be new to you.
This course is for anyone who wants to add to their therapeutic toolbox, who wants to talk about and practice new techniques, and for people who like a fun and interesting day.
On the Workshop you will learn:
•Regression and regression to cause. Different ways to regress clients and what to do once they are regressed
•Inner child work, finding the initial sensitising event and removing strong emotions
•Parts work and how to use this amazingly powerful technique to regress clients
•The Fast Phobia Cure, useful for phobias (of course), but easily adapted to remove the energy from difficult emotions
•Empty Chair Technique, how to use this great technique under hypnosis to vent built up emotions
•Clearance/cutting ties techniques to help let go of baggage and move forward
•Healing techniques: Quantum and Dashboard healing plus several more
•Hypnotic Boxes, a simple set of techniques for energizing clients and helping them unlock hidden emotions
And finally, how to put the above techniques together to create a truly therapeutic session for your client.

Working with Couples – Online Diploma Certificate
Distance Learning
£125
There are surprisingly few therapists who choose to work with couples. Perhaps to some, having two people sat in their consulting room may appear somewhat intimidating, particularly if the relationship between the two of them is antagonistic. However, once you understand the dynamics, it becomes surprisingly easy to adapt your existing therapeutic skillset, in order to offer this rewarding therapy to those needing it.
The purpose of this training is to give you a better understanding of the dynamics involved, the problems and issues you may encounter and some interventions you can use, adding a further modality to your repertoire, which in turn, gives you that Unique Selling Point.
Extend your client range by learning how to adapt your therapeutic skills to dealing with relationship problems. Couples are made-up of individuals and once the expectation and communication issues have been resolved, therapy naturally moves on to treatment of the individuals.

This ONLINE Advanced Hypnotherapy Course uses the video taken at our ten day intensive classroom course.
You are required to have a diploma level qualification for entry onto this accredited course. As well as being accredited CPD with the GHR and the GHSC, you will receive a certification and be able to use the title ‘Advanced Hypnotherapist’ upon working through this course and completing the coursework showing you have achieved the required learning outcomes.
An advanced hypnotherapy diploma needs to build upon and of course, advance existing skills and knowledge.
What’s Included?
- Models of hypnosis and an in depth analysis of theorising in hypnotherapy
Whilst we look at the evidence base for the models and examine the academic underpinnings and critiques of these models, we also debate and discuss the value of the academic approach, how it compares to the reality of the therapy room, and what that means for us as hypnotherapists. We learn and place great emphasis on how to convert knowledge and theory into practical applications that are directly useable in our hypnotherapy sessions.
We also learn how to make that information available to our clients to help them derive as much benefit as possible from hypnotherapy with you. We build greatly upon the existing understanding of hypnosis and how it is conceptualised.
In depth examination of psychological models of change
Beyond hypnosis, we learn about specific models of change that can be very relevant and applicable to the hypnotherapist. We examine highly evidence based models as well as models that are very popular among effective and pioneering therapists and we examine how they apply to hypnotherapy.
We critique and explore the models of change and how they can be used as an underlying philosophy that guides the hypnotherapist. Importantly, we again learn how to implement these models of change into our practical work in the therapy room to advance our own effectiveness and in turn, the benefits derived by the client.
- The underlying factors that facilitate change or hamper the therapeutic process
We closely revisit, scrutinise, build upon and then move beyond rapport and the working alliance. We progress to examining and managing expectations, methods of altering context and advanced ways to set a frame for effective hypnotherapy, we look at personal traits that impede therapy and how to deal with them, we examine extratherapeutic factors and a great deal more
Advanced questioning techniques and strategies
We learn how to use questions therapeutically, how to import questions from a wide variety of disciplines including the fields of coaching, CBT, family therapy, NLP and even explore the fields of philosophy and politics for advanced approaches to questioning techniques, types of questions and how they create change.
We also look at how to use questions to establish working alliance and advance the models of change and hypnosis we have explored in detail.
- Advanced Clinical Approaches
We examine a wide number of interventions that require diploma level understanding and draw upon a number of varying fields. We include many techniques used by some of the most prominent and pioneering therapists in the world. This includes approaches and techniques that require humour and provocation as well as specific approaches to language, and then also more standardised, sober, highly evidence based procedures.
There are many interventions, strategies and techniques here that will greatly advance the repertoire of any hypnotherapist.
- Advanced approaches to specific issues
We go into depth on dealing with some common specific issues – how to construct a treatment plan, the types of interventions to be used, we examine the evidence base, but also go into depth about how to research it for yourself too.
The knowledge of dealing with these specific issues will be transferable to many other conditions cited by your clients. The specific issues have been chosen due to the approach and methodologies employed being applicable to such a broad ranging spectrum of other issues that your clients present in therapy.
- Modern Advances in the Field
You are kept abreast of the up-to-date research, the most important recent breakthroughs and the methodologies used. You will also learn about popular methods that hypnotherapists are getting impressive results with that have little evidence, but have featured in the media or are being made popular by leading trainers and pioneers from the fields of NLP, CBT and hypnotherapy.
You’ll have techniques explained, new applications revealed and the latest concepts explored from the fields of cognitive psychology, neuroscience, academic hypnosis, CBT and how they can be used by hypnotherapists.
- Critical Thinking and Statistics
On this course, you are given insight into the processes that hypnosis scholars and academics employ, how researchers work and how to critically examine the work of academics in relation to the field of hypnotherapy and hypnotism.
We examine myths that pervade the field, we examine how to apply logic but also learn how to challenge academia, become aware of how we accept knowledge and examine the risk of too much personal theorising and investment in singular approaches or stances We also look at how to examine statistics, how they are used in the field of hypnotherapy and how they can be interpreted in a wide variety of ways.
We examine how the media uses statistics and how we can find the best use of statistics to give accurate, impressive and honest information to develop our hypnotherapy businesses and help inform clients and raise their beliefs.
We examine research methodologies and the ways hypnosis has been researched, as well as citing some of the flaws in that research, and of course how to access it – and what conclusions we can draw and also how this effects our practical work in real-life terms.
- Ethics and Ongoing Development
We examine a wide range of ethical issues surrounding the field of hypnotherapy and discover how to exact the highest ethical standards possible within our work.
We examine the ethics behind a number of popular techniques and approaches, how what we do influences our client’s lives beyond therapy, and we also examine how ethics can challenge us on occasion.
We examine in depth the best ways to develop professionally; we examine how to get the very most and best from supervision, reflective practice and CPD.
We then go beyond supervision, reflective practice and CPD and look at other ways to develop your skills, enhance your knowledge, and other avenues to develop your business.
Resources:
You get a manual and lots of handouts as well as being guided towards articles, research papers, and core texts that will help you build and become a fully advanced hypnotherapist.
Accreditation:
This Advanced Practitioner Level training is accredited with the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC) and the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR) and fulfils their requirements for this award.
Qualification:
You’ll receive your certification having attended class, actively participated in class exercises and completed the coursework.
The coursework is a single questionnaire comprising of essay style questions and 4 hypothetical case studies.
Some of the needs for advanced hypnotherapy training are as follows:
- Improve standards and service to the public.
- Engage newly qualified hypnotherapists with quality CPD and to see its value.
- Invigorate and inform the practice of experienced practitioners.
- Encourage higher level, academic and critical thinking.
- Instil the importance of better quality reflective practice.
- Promote new perspectives, build a diversity of approaches.
- Properly understand the the evidence base of the field of hypnotherapy.
- Know the literature well – it underpins our practical skills and advances them in turn.
- To become a more successful hypnotherapist whose clients derive greater gains and successful benefits.
Hypnotherapists are not the only ones who benefit from this, by becoming better at what they do, they get to raise the standards of the field in general terms, this is good for us all because the perception of the public becomes better and rosier and it is better for clients who derive more gain, more professionalism, better results.
The raison d’être of an advanced hypnotherapy training programme is to offer the hypnotherapist a clear advancement on the original hypnotherapy training. It needs to be substantive, wholly distinctive and healthily challenging, not simply offering ‘more of the same’ that was taught on an initial diploma course. it provides new knowledge, new skills, new philosophies, new approaches, new techniques and encourages a considered, respectful and healthily critical exploration of hypnotherapy research.

Balanced Approach
(Mark Peters)
Type: Book

Ref No: 2696
The Accidental Hypnotist – An Open Minded Approach

£18 (printed & posted)

£8.99 Epub / PDF (e-version for tablets/smart phone)
My aim with this book is to share my experiences of this wondrous field we call hypnosis, supported by discussions of standard theories and models. As our understanding of brain function unfolds so too will more concepts of the form and practice of hypnotism. We may even be calling it by a new name in the not-too-distant future; ‘mesmerism’ wasn’t the first name used, and ‘hypnosis’ may not be the last. ‘Mindfulness’ is one term in vogue at the moment, as is ‘guided visualization’.
I titled the book the Accidental Hypnotist as my aim is to help spread the realisation that hypnosis is actually a naturally occurring phenomenon that each of us experience on a daily basis. It has been said that “You cannot not influence”; once you can accept that everything you say and do influences you and those around you it is only a small step to grasp that we each put ourselves and each other into a natural trance. When you plan a holiday, consider how a redecorated room will look, imagine excelling at a sport etc. it is your imagination that motivates you to succeed or fail; it is self-hypnosis by another name.
It’s your brain so it seems the study of how to get it to do what you want it to do is a useful pursuit.
