✨ 2 DAYS TO GO – ACCREDITED OCD CPD FOR HYPNOTHERAPISTS ✨
One of the trickiest things when working with OCD is this…

Sometimes the very thing that feels kind, calming, or reassuring in the moment can accidentally keep the cycle going.

And that can leave therapists feeling unsure.
Unsure what to say.
Unsure what to do.
Unsure how to help without making things worse.

That is exactly why I created this workshop.

On Friday, we will be looking at practical, grounded ways of working with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Pure-O, including:

• Intrusive thoughts
• Compulsions and urges
• Reassurance seeking
• Avoidance patterns
• How to support clients without feeding the cycle

🗓 Friday 27th March
⏰ 10:00 – 17:00
💻 Live on Zoom

You will also receive a pre-workshop workbook before the day and a comprehensive resource pack afterwards, so you leave with something solid to keep and use in practice.

This is accredited CPD, grounded in an integrative approach, bringing together hypnosis, neuroscience, NLP, and solution focused practice.

If you are one of my supervisees or an NCH member, please remember to use your discount code at booking, as this will no longer be active from April.

No pressure at all, just have a look and see if it feels right for you:

✨ 3 DAYS TO GO – ACCREDITED OCD CPD FOR HYPNOTHERAPISTS ✨

One of the key shifts we explore on Friday is this:
Intrusive thoughts, even when they feel distressing or completely out of character, are far more common than we often realise.

In OCD, it is not simply the thought itself that creates the difficulty, but the meaning given to it, and the way the person feels they must respond to it, that keeps the cycle going.

If you are a hypnotherapist and working with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or Pure-O ever leaves you wondering if you are approaching it in the right way…

This day will give you clear, practical ways of working that you can begin using immediately with your clients.

🗓 Friday 27th March
⏰ 10:00 – 17:00
💻 Live on Zoom

You will receive a pre-workshop workbook to guide your thinking before the day, and a comprehensive resource pack afterwards to support your client work going forward.

Accredited CPD, grounded in an integrative approach, bringing together hypnosis, neuroscience, NLP, and solution focused practice.

• Confidence in knowing what to do, and what not to do

📅 Friday 20th March
⏰ 09:30 – 12:30 GMT

Breath is the only system in the body we can consciously control, and it influences every organ and system. When breathing patterns become dysfunctional, both physical and emotional wellbeing can be affected.

This practical CPD workshop will introduce therapists to powerful breathwork tools that can help clients experiencing stress, anxiety and overwhelm, while also supporting your own wellbeing as a practitioner.

Once you understand how healthy breathing should work, it becomes much easier to identify issues and guide clients towards improvement. Harnessing the power of breath can be deeply empowering for both therapist and client.

During this workshop you will learn:

• Breath awareness and how to recognise breathing patterns
• A simple introduction to the respiratory system
• The key breathing muscles and how they function
• Evolutionary influences on breathing habits
• Nose breathing versus mouth breathing
• How to identify dysfunctional breathing patterns
• Practical breathwork tools and exercises for clients
• Opportunities to practise techniques with colleagues

This training will give you the confidence to integrate breathwork into your existing therapeutic work, providing clients with practical techniques they can use both in and between sessions.
