🎙️ Pop on the Couch – Your Guide to Therapy Podcast✨

I want to say a huge thank you to Charlotte Spillane and Lucy Freeman for giving me the opportunity to be part of their brilliant podcast, Pop on the Couch.

Pop on the Couch is such a thoughtful, down-to-earth podcast that helps demystify therapy, exploring what actually happens in the therapy room, what different approaches really mean, and how therapy can support people in real life. It’s honest, human, and refreshingly free from jargon or hype, just real conversations with real therapists.

In this episode, Charlotte and Lucy invited me to join them to talk about NLP – what it is (and what it isn’t), how it can be used ethically and effectively within therapy, and how it sits alongside other therapeutic approaches rather than replacing them. I hope you’ll find the conversation helpful if you’re curious about therapy or if you’re a practitioner interested in hearing a clear, real-world discussion around NLP.

Alongside my clinical work, I also run NLP CPD workshops for hypnotherapists and practitioners. I currently offer two one-day trainings, with the Advanced NLP Applications day running this Friday 26th January. This day focuses on taking NLP deeper, looking at integration, belief change, parts work, timelines, ecology, and how to use these tools safely and meaningfully within therapeutic practice.

The Core NLP Techniques day will be running again in May.

Thank you again, Charlotte and Lucy, for creating such a valuable, accessible resource and for inviting me into the conversation 💛

🌟DAY 10 – THE FINAL GOOD REASON IN THIS SERIES🌟

Because this training is designed to help you become the practitioner you want to be, not just pass a course.

Most people looking at hypnotherapy training are not just choosing a qualification, they are choosing who they want to become professionally and how they want to feel when they sit with clients.

This diploma is not about rushing content, ticking boxes, or leaving you feeling unsure when the training ends. It is about developing confidence, clinical thinking, ethical awareness, and a strong professional identity over time so that when you step into practice, you feel ready.

By the end of the training, students often say they do not just feel trained, they feel grounded, supported, and clear about how they work, who they are as practitioners, and the kind of clients they want to help.

If you are looking for training that takes you seriously, supports your growth properly, and prepares you for real practice, this is why people choose this diploma.

Thank you for following along with this series. Full course details can be found in the first comment below. Next start date 11th/12th April 2026!

DAY 9 – 9th GOOD REASON TO JOIN OUR INTEGRATIVE HYPNOTHERAPY IN PRACTICE DIPLOMA

Blended learning, with inspiring in-person training within a beautiful and comfortable environment.

Our Integrative Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma is delivered through a blended learning model. Students attend two in-person training days each month within a beautiful and comfortable learning environment, alongside live Zoom teaching and structured self-directed study supported through a dedicated learning hub.

Face-to-face training takes place in a calm, welcoming setting, surrounded by open countryside, allowing you to truly focus on learning, reflecting, and growing. The environment itself supports confidence, clarity, and connection, creating space for meaningful learning rather than rushed instruction.

Students often arrive from many different paths in life, bringing varied careers, experiences, and stories. Here, those differences come together on the same journey. A shared commitment to learning, curiosity, and helping others as well as professional growth, creates a supportive atmosphere where people feel comfortable being themselves while developing as practitioners.

This combination of blended learning, thoughtful structure, and an inspiring training environment helps students feel grounded, supported, and ready to step forward into practice with confidence.

Course start date: Module 1 – 11th and 12th April 2026.
Location: Mendip Springs Golf Club, Congresbury, Bristol, South West England, BS49 5JT.

👍DAY 8 – GOOD REASON TO JOIN OUR INTEGRATIVE HYPNOTHERAPY IN PRACTICE DIPLOMA

This training is about becoming a confident, professional hypnotherapist, not just completing a course.

Throughout the diploma, students are supported to develop clinical confidence, professional identity, and safe therapeutic decision-making, so that by the end of the year they do not simply hold a qualification, but feel genuinely ready to practise.

The course supports students to understand how to work ethically, communicate clearly with clients, manage boundaries, and hold a therapeutic space with confidence, alongside developing strong and practical hypnotherapy skills.

The Integrative Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma is a Level 4 practitioner training, delivered face to face over 10 modules across one year, with one weekend per month, in South West England, near Bristol.

Course start date: Module 1 – 11th & 12th April 2026
Location: Mendip Springs Golf Club, Congresbury, Bristol / South West England

The course is delivered by Lisa Williams Edgar and Angie Hayes of Ayurva Academy, a UK-based therapy training academy and an approved college and centre with NCFE, a UK awarding organisation regulated by Ofqual.

✨7th GOOD REASON TO JOIN OUR INTEGRATIVE HYPNOTHERAPY IN PRACTICE DIPLOMA✨

TRAINING THAT PREPARES YOU TO WORK WITH A WIDE RANGE OF PRESENTING ISSUES

This training equips you to work with a broad range of issues that people commonly seek hypnotherapy for, rather than limiting you to a narrow or single-area focus.

During the course, you will learn how hypnotherapy can support people with areas such as stress and anxiety, phobias, addiction, OCD, confidence and self-esteem, habits and behaviours, trauma, performance, and emotional wellbeing and more, all within an integrative and ethical framework.

This breadth of training helps you feel confident responding to real client presentations, supporting people as individuals rather than trying to fit them into a rigid model or protocol.

For many students, this wide scope is what makes the training feel both practical and realistic, preparing them for the variety of clients they are likely to meet in practice.

FULL DETAILS ABOUT THE APRIL COURSE CAN BE FOUND ON THE AYURVA ACADEMY WEBSITE, OR IN THE FIRST COMMENT OF THIS POST.

Thank you for reading. We’ll be back tomorrow, the 8th of January, with the 8th GOOD REASON to join us on this training.

DAY 6 – GOOD REASON TO JOIN OUR INTEGRATIVE HYPNOTHERAPY IN PRACTICE DIPLOMA

SUPPORT BETWEEN MODULES, NOT JUST TRAINING DAYS

One of the key strengths of our training is that learning does not stop when the weekend ends. Between each module, students are supported to continue developing their skills, confidence, and clinical understanding.

This includes structured portfolio work, guided reflection, practice tasks, and access to learning resources that help you integrate what you have learned into real therapeutic thinking and practice.

You are not left to work things out alone. Support, guidance, and clear direction are part of the journey, helping you grow steadily and professionally over the year.

This approach allows learning to settle, deepen, and become usable in real client work, rather than feeling rushed or overwhelming.

Full details about the April course can be found on the AYURVA ACADEMY website, or in the FIRST COMMENT of this post.
Thank you for reading, and we’ll be back tomorrow, the 7th of January, with the 7th GOOD REASON to join us on this training.
