Has the Half-Term chaos got you thinking about making a change? 🍂
✨ Many people use this time to reflect on what really matters - family, balance, and finding a career that fits around life rather than the other way around.
✨ Solution Focused Hypnotherapy could be the perfect path. It’s a modern, uplifting approach that helps people focus on their future goals and move forward with confidence — and you can train in it while managing your own family commitments.
✨ This time of year often brings a renewed desire for calm, purpose, and positive change. Whether it’s helping others reduce stress, overcome anxiety, or find new motivation, Hypnotherapy offers a rewarding way to make a real difference.
If you’re ready to explore a flexible, family-friendly career that helps others thrive - discover more about our upcoming CPHT Sheffield training. Our next course starts on March 7th 2026 and we would love you to join us.

🎓Our students at CPHT Sheffield enjoyed Module 8 earlier this month, and it was a weekend full of rich learning, reflection, and hands-on development as they continue their journey to becoming confident, qualified solution-focused hypnotherapists.
Here’s what we covered…
⭐ Performance Enhancement – Exploring how to help clients improve in areas such as sports, music, acting, public speaking, and beyond. A powerful addition to any therapist’s toolkit.
⭐ Understanding OCD – We unpacked the complexities of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and looked at how to support clients in a compassionate, effective, solution-focused way.
⭐ Analytical Techniques – A look back at the origins of psychotherapy through Freud’s work and the influence of analytical approaches still used today.
⭐ Latest Research – We connected the dots between current findings in neuroscience and psychology and how they can help clients understand and accelerate their recovery.
⭐ Case Study Reflections – With qualification on the horizon, students shared real client case studies — reflecting on successes, growth, and the impact of their work so far.
⭐ Learning from David Newton – We reviewed a real case study from CPHT founder David Newton, gaining valuable insight into recovery forecasting and clinical depth.
⭐ Practical Experience – As always, students had plenty of opportunity to practise their skills and build confidence through real-time feedback and support.
It was a packed and inspiring weekend - and our Sheffield students continue to grow in knowledge, skill, and self-belief. Well done, everyone!

While our priority at CPHT Sheffield is to enable people to go into successful practice it is inevitable that much of the training, positivity and knowledge permeate into everyday life.
Just some of the comments from some CPHT students...
✨ “I now have so much more confidence”
✨ “I feel so much better about myself”
✨ “I am so much more in control”
✨ “I am so much happier”
As a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist you will be able to help people every day - and in the same way, improve your own quality of life.
In our recent module at CPHT Sheffield, we explored how Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can help clients overcome performance anxiety in all areas of life – and wow, what a great weekend of learning it was.
We learned how to support future clients where pressure can get in the way of performance, in areas such as...
⭐️ Athletes in sports like boxing, golf, or football
⭐️ Singers and vocalists losing control of their voice when it matters most
⭐️ Workplace performance anxiety – that nagging “not good enough” feeling
⭐️ Going live on Instagram or recording content – battling nerves and self-doubt
⭐️ Driving test nerves or anxiety about driving with others watching
⭐️ Creative performance blocks – freezing up when it’s time to share their art, writing, or music
Solution Focused Hypnotherapy works by helping clients create new, empowering neural pathways. We don’t just help people cope – we help them move forward with clarity, confidence, and control.
If you’re thinking about training as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist – or you’re an existing therapist wanting to add a Solution Focused approach – join our next course here at CPHT Sheffield - Starts 7th March 2026

“Small steps in the right direction can turn out to be the biggest steps of your life.”
Our current incredible CPHT Sheffield students are living proof of this. With just two modules to go, they’ve already taken those powerful first steps - and are now confidently helping others make real, lasting change.
Many of them came to us from teaching or caring professions. They knew they wanted to do more - to support people on a deeper level, to make a meaningful difference. And now, they are. Using Solution Focused Hypnotherapy, they’re helping clients overcome anxiety, stress, sleep issues, and more - one session at a time.
If you’ve ever felt the same calling, maybe it could be your time? Our next CPHT Sheffield Diploma course starts next March , and it could be the beginning of something truly life-changing — for you, and for the people you’ll help.
Because sometimes, the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the one that changes everything. 🧡
We would love to tell you more - Get in touch!

🌟FAQ Can Anyone Become a Hypnotherapist?
In short - yes!
Anyone can become a hypnotherapist… but being a great hypnotherapist? That’s about more than just learning how to put someone into trance (which, by the way, is the easy bit 😉).
The most successful hypnotherapists we’ve trained all shared similar traits when they first considered joining CPHT..
✨ They’re the one friends and family turn to when they need to talk
✨ They genuinely love helping others
✨ They’re fascinated by how people think and how the brain works
✨ They often wonder why people do the things they do
✨ They’ve had personal struggles that made them curious about how change really happens
✨ They want to grow, evolve, and do something truly meaningful
✨ They may have experienced Solution Focused Hypnotherapy as a client and thought, I want to do this too
✨ And sometimes… they’re simply ready for a new challenge and a career that makes a difference
So, can anyone train? Yes.
But if you’re the kind of person who really cares, who’s curious, empathetic, and ready to make an impact — you’re the kind of person who thrives with us.
✨ Sound familiar? You might just make an exceptional hypnotherapist.
Let’s chat.

⭐️ What we learn...
This month at CPHT Sheffield, we explored how Solution Focused Hypnotherapy can play a powerful role in helping clients manage chronic and persistent pain – and the science behind it.
Here’s what we covered:
✨ The latest research shows that hypnotherapy can be highly effective in supporting clients with a range of conditions – including physical illnesses. By reducing stress and changing the brain’s perception of pain, clients often experience real, lasting relief.
✨ We explored the placebo effect – not as “just in your head,” but as real, measurable changes triggered by belief, expectation, and mindset. When used ethically, it becomes a powerful therapeutic tool.
✨ Most importantly, we looked closely at persistent pain – and how we, as hypnotherapists, can help clients gently rewire the brain’s response to pain, reduce fear and emotional tension, and restore quality of life.
Our future Hypnotherapists are not here to offer quick fixes – they are there to help people change the way they experience their world. And sometimes, that starts with helping them reclaim their bodies from long-term discomfort.
If you’re considering a career in therapy that combines science, empathy and transformation, Solution Focused Hypnotherapy might just be what you’re looking for.

Clifton Practice Hypnotherapy Training (CPHT) is a nationwide hypnotherapy training body providing a Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD) Course for the modern hypnotherapist. This course is designed for students wishing to become practising hypnotherapists. The Director and Senior Course Lecturer of CPHT is David Newton, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist (see cphtdavidnewton.co.uk). CPHT Sheffield is run by Senior Lecturers Debbie Daltrey and Jane Fox.
Hypnotherapy is now considered to be one of the fastest growing professions in the United Kingdom and CPHT has enabled hundreds of students to become successful hypnotherapists. If you intend to make hypnotherapy your new career, part-time or full-time, we believe you have come to the right place.
Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD)
The HPD Course is of approximately 120 hours duration of classroom study plus practice between sessions and required reading over a period of 10 months. Successful graduation leads to a full Diploma qualification (DSFH) and the nationally accredited (NCFE) Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD). Students are assessed throughout their training and there will be a requirement for a practical assessment. Students are required to charge the “student rate”, 50% of the normal fee, after the 7th module. This becomes an obligatory part of the course after the 8th module.
At the end of the studies students are asked to submit a portfolio, compiled throughout the training, for assessment both within CPHT and externally leading to the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD). HPD has been accredited by the NCFE as having measurable learning outcomes that have been benchmarked at Level 4 using Ofqual’s Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF) level descriptions. HPD Course contents
Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma (AHD)
For HPD hypnotherapy graduates we also offer Advanced Courses, Career Professional Development (CPD) and supervision. CPHT graduates may continue their professional development while in practice and achieve a further award of the Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma (AHD) (Level 5 equivalence). For more information on the Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma Course please see: The Advanced Hypnotherapy Diploma Website.
