What happens after the Diploma
Training is only the first step. The measure of any course is what graduates go on to do with it, and across the UK College’s history that’s ranged from building thriving full-time private practices to integrating Hypno-CBT® into an existing healthcare, coaching, or psychotherapy career.
Three graduates, three different paths
Louise Coyle built a specialism around menopause support and what she calls “dating anxiety,” combining workshops with one-to-one practice. Her approach to building a client base (talking about her work at conferences, on social media, and through workshops that double as low-pressure introductions to her therapy) offers a practical model for anyone building a niche practice from scratch.
Kate Middleton made the transition from a re-enablement coordinator role into a full-time hypnotherapy practice in around four months, while managing family life around young children. Her approach was pragmatic: bridging the transition with part-time work in both worlds before taking the leap, staying focused on a single end goal, and building credibility by basing her early practice within an established clinic.
Anja Henderson took a different route altogether. An occupational psychologist specialising in leadership assessment and coaching, she didn’t leave her existing career to retrain — she brought the Diploma’s tools directly into it, applying what she’d learned to help senior managers work with stress, resilience, and confidence. For graduates who want to integrate Hypno-CBT® into an established professional practice rather than start a new one from scratch, her story offers a different kind of model.
What graduates say about the training
“The course provides an excellent, well-informed and broad basis for practising cognitive-behavioural hypnotherapy in a professional and effective manner. I highly recommend it.”
— Professor Karen Carr PhD, Professor of Psychology, Cranfield University
“I had the pleasure of being trained by Mark in 2011… What Mark taught me in two days has stuck with me and forms a basis for much of my work with clients. I am in no doubt that the insights he gave me have been invaluable to my success as a business owner and coach today.”
— Adam Parvitt, Executive Business Coach, Co-Founder, Newleafes Limited
“An excellent course confirming that I will pursue this area of practice. I thoroughly enjoyed the week, appreciating the balance of theory and practice. I plan to use hypnotherapy and look forward to attending Stage 2 soon. Excellent teaching style, building positive learning experience each day.”
— Caroline Linton MB ChB, MRCPsych
“I have been struck again and again at the level of quality of this training when I see what else is out there. I really believe this is the best hypnotherapy training out there.”
— Deborah Mends
“This is not your average course and is in a league of its own.”
— Dave Philps, South Africa
“Any comments or questions from students are dealt with courteously, knowledgeably and patiently. Nothing is dismissed – everything is treated as valid.”
— Alison Carney, Logistics Manager (retraining as a hypnotherapist)
“I came all the way from Mozambique to do this course… I feel more knowledgeable, much more confident, and am looking forward to Stages 2 and 3.”
— Sharlene Raston
