Yorkshire Hypnotherapy Training

One of the biggest learning curves in therapy is letting go of the idea that there’s a single “right way” to do things.
Good work comes from adapting — noticing language, timing, and what fits this client, rather than sticking rigidly to a script.
That confidence grows with practice, reflection, and support — not perfection.

A quick reassurance if you’ve been following along for a while but haven’t reached out.
Lots of people sit in that quiet space of reading, saving posts, and thinking “maybe one day”. That’s not indecision, it’s consideration.
Training is a big step. Taking your time with it is sensible.
But be aware that our enrolment ends soon.

A lot of people wait to feel ready before enquiring about training.
In reality, readiness often looks like:
• being curious
• caring about doing things properly
• asking thoughtful questions
• wondering whether you’d be good enough
If hypnotherapy training has been sitting quietly in the background for a while, I’m running an in-person practitioner course in Castleford starting in April.
If you’d like to talk it through, I offer free discovery calls — not to persuade you, but to help you decide whether it feels right.
Details are on the website.

As you will know if you've had to make book character costumes for your kids, it’s World Book Day on 5th March, which feels like a good excuse to say this: your professional reading doesn’t have to be hard work.
Sometimes a book reassures you, confirms something you already sense, or simply reminds you why you're a therapist.
Those are often the books we come back to again and again.
Which book (or books) has shaped your work or even your life more than you expected?

One thing that often surprises people once training actually starts is how it’s not all about “being good at hypnosis”. It’s much more about listening well, thinking clearly, and learning to respond to the person in front of you rather than following a formula.
Most people arrive worried about whether they’ll do things right. They leave more interested in whether they’re doing things thoughtfully. That shift is a big part of what training is really about.

People often assume hypnotherapy training is something you do straight after another course or qualification. In reality, many people come to it later, after time in other careers, caring roles, or simply after realising they want work that feels more meaningful and people-focused.
If that’s you, and hypnotherapy training has been sitting in the background of your thoughts, I’m running a new practitioner training course in Castleford starting in April.
I offer discovery calls simply as a chance to talk things through and see whether it feels like the right fit.

Alongside tips for therapists on planning ahead for Mental Health Awareness Week, training discounts and information, and recent research on motivation, this issue includes a slightly unexpected story involving a tortoise, a vet, and the realisation that not everyone follows the expected route when progressing.
If you’re a therapist or therapy student who enjoys thoughtful insights, practical tips, and the occasional odd story that somehow still makes sense, this one’s for you.
The newsletter goes out next week on 5th March — sign up by then to make sure it lands in your inbox.

Today is the start of our fifth training weekend – our autumn students will be halfway through their course by tomorrow night. It doesn’t seem like two minutes since they started!
Over the weekend, we’ll be working on:
• creating client audios to support the work we do in sessions
• rapid inductions and how (and when) to use them effectively
• working with habits, including smoking cessation
• understanding aversion therapy and using it thoughtfully and ethically
These are the times when things really start to click, when techniques get tested, questions get asked, and students see how all the pieces fit together in real client work.

If you want to join us for the next class in April, visit our website.

A small example from recent practice. A client came in to stop smoking and mentioned they were a big fan of the TV series "Lucifer". So I worked with that.
In the programme, Lucifer has a “mojo”: he asks people, “Tell me, what do you truly desire?” and they have to answer honestly.
So, I invited the client to imagine Lucifer asking them that question.
The immediate answer was simple and powerful:
“To be free of smoking for the rest of my life.”
Nothing dramatic changed in the main structure of the session, just a small, thoughtful moment. But it made the whole experience feel personal, relevant, and meaningful to them.
This is why learning to think and adapt matters more than following scripts word for word.
