Hypnosis – myth or magic?
Valid therapeutic method or fringe “woo” therapy?
Hypnosis captures our imagination and suggestthat more powerful deeper therapeutic change could be possible.
But it has a muddy reputation – with stage hypnotists and overblown therapeutic claims.
What’s the real story?
Is there research into hypnosis? What does it say?
Can we rescue hypnosis from being on the fringe and bring back into the centre of a modern therapeutic approach?
Are these questions holding you back?
Does hypnosis actually work?
How does it work?
How can we use hypnosis in therapy?
How can I find a professional training course?
Hypnosis:
Effective therapy or “Snake Oil”?
Worth billions, the hypnotherapy industry is filled with myths, hype and confusion. From misleading tv series and movies, to trainers selling you on how easy it is to make money hypnotising people – it’s a truly minefield!
- But what is hypnosis, really?
- Does it involve spinning a pendant in front of your client? Or mind-control? Trance states? Accessing the unconscious mind?
- Or is it a research-based, effective way for people to take back control and experience significant improvements in chronic pain, anxiety, depression, PTSD and bowel disorders?
Allow us to clear up the confusion and debunk the myths that surround hypnosis!
Let us walk you through the scientific research so you can know what hypnosis is, how it works and what it can be effective for.
In this webinar we will cut through the promotional hype, show you what the research says about hypnosis – and here’s the shocker – that the research conflicts with what is taught on most training courses!
We’ll introduce you to an evidence-based and accredited practitioner training that will enable you to have your own fully insured, legal therapy practice within 6 months.
Or those of you who are already therapists we’ll show you why you might want to add hypnosis to your therapy approach and how to do it.
The Hypno-CBT® Diploma:
the only Diploma you need to become an accredited, professional Hypnotherapist
What makes our Training different?
NO ‘HOCUS POCUS’!
Everything we teach on the Hypno-CBT® Diploma is all evidence-based and science-aligned. Knowing your therapy practice is based on an extensive research base will give you a solid foundation and strong confidence even as a novice.
QUALIFY FROM WHEREVER YOU ARE IN THE WORLD!
The Diploma is an entirely web-based training that you can take anywhere in the world. With live support and practice sessions, you get to choose your training format to suit your schedule. Plus learn how to do therapy online!
INTEGRATION WITH CBT (and mindfulness!)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is know as the most effective psychotherapy. Many studies have demonstrated its efficacy increases with the addition of hypnosis. (1)
HIGHLY EXPERIENTIAL
The Diploma is comprehensive and academically strong, but most importantly it is vocationally focused and highly practical. 50% of the training is experiencing and trying out the huge range of therapeutic tools that you’ll learn to use to help your clients.
NO TRANCE!
Nearly every hypnotherapy training programme teaches that hypnosis is a “trance state” – but the research does not support this myth! Learn about the modern “non-trance” model of hypnosis that is supported by research AND integrates with CBT and mindfulness.
AMAZING SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY

EXISTING THERAPISTS?
About 35% of our attendees are already therapists, psychologists, CBT therapists, coaches or psychiatrists. The course is a unique training experience that “joins the dots” and fills in what is missing so much “talking therapy”.
The 2-hour webinar will answer the following questions:
Is hypnotherapy really credible as a therapeutic approach?
When new to hypnotherapy, it’s easy to be confused by all of the mystical and murky associations around hypnosis. Not to mention the grandiose claims of the hundreds of “world-famous” celebrity hypnotherapists!
In the webinar we’ll be discussing the most common misconceptions about hypnosis – and why it’s so important to question them, look to the science and use more research-informed ways of talking about hypnosis.
We’re passionate about cutting through the pop psychology and pseudoscience and educating people – both therapists and clients – in our modern, research-based approach to hypnotherapy.
How does the training work?
IYou might love the idea of a short, concise training that quickly provides you with the ability to start using the Hypno-CBT® approach.
But you might be thinking…how is it possible to fully qualify in such a short time?
And can the training really provide all the accreditation, skills, systems, tools for growth, and community support for you to make it work as a therapist?
The answer is YES! And in the webinar we will show you how, step by step.
We will also cover the Diploma training format options, and the flexibility we’ve designed into this programme – that allows you take it anywhere in the world.
Can I add this Hypno-CBT® approach to my existing therapy business?
Adding hypnosis to your existing therapy practice can certainly help you clients achieve potentially deeper and faster – AND more long lasting change.
You can reach new markets and stand out against other therapists – and also help with many conditions for which hypnosis has a strong efficacy
- Hypnosis for Pain management
- Using hypnosis to support stress, trauma and resilience work
- Gut focused hypnotherapy for IBS
- Smoking Cessation
And so much more.
What makes Hypno-CBT® different?
AWe’ll cover basic, old school hypnotherapy and why the refined, modern model of Hypno-CBT® can create more effective change and reach more people. You’ll learn how the idea of “trance” is not supported by research and creates a major obstacle in therapeutic work. (“Trance” is part of the hocus-pocus mythology around hypnosis that allows training schools to charge LOTS of money for courses that have little substance.)
The integration of hypnosis, CBT and mindfulness allows therapists to have enormous skill and flexibility in the way they integrate hypnosis with other techniques.
There’s strong similarities and key differences between hypnosis and meditation – and much use of “focused attention”
And remember hypnosis is not a talking therapy – it is “experiential” – and it allows us as therapists to create many new powerful positive experiences for clients – right in the therapy room.
You’ll learn why the integration of hypnosis and CBT (widely acknowledged as the most effective psychotherapy approach) is so important. We will show you the research demonstrating that adding hypnosis to CBT improves results over CBT alone.
You can literally “turbo-charge” CBT by adding hypnosis!

Aren’t all hypnotherapy courses pretty much the same?

Many training courses are not really “fit for purpose”
and peddle hype and pseudoscience.
QUIZ: SPOT THE HYPE!
Does any of the following sound familiar?
“Rapid transformation!”
“Transform your clients in one session!”
“New method that is taking the world by storm!”
These are familiar promotional claims
that regularly appear in the world of hypnotherapy training. We’ve seen this appear and re-appear over the 20+ years we’ve been in existence
“morally wrong”
That’s what Professor Paul Salkovskis of Oxford University said about a current very popular “rapid” hypnotherapy training that works on “root causes”
In a recent article in The Sunday Times Professor Paul Salkovskis said it was “morally wrong” to claim this therapy could cure complex mental illness rapidly in a single session by getting to the “root cause” in childhood
“The idea there is a single point, this crucial moment that everything stems from, is nonsense. In terms of the current understanding of psychological problems like anxiety and depression … it has absolutely no foundation in what we understand about these problems.”
Professor Paul Salkovskis: Professor of Clinical Psychology at Oxford University,

It is an opportunity cost and can also impact your hope and self-belief.
Every year we meet dozens of people who are pulled in by the hype and chose the wrong course.
Don’t let that happen to you!

FAQs
Hypno-CBT® College is a hypnotherapy training provider specialising in modern, evidence-based, cognitive-behavioural theory and practice.
Established in 2003, we have blazed the trail in evidence-based hypnotherapy training.
We’ve provided thousands of people with evidence-based practitioner training, integrating the power of hypnosis with the science of CBT.
We give you a clear pathway to full professional accreditation and ongoing support, so the career you envision becomes your reality.
At the College, we focus on the cognitive-behavioural approach to hypnotherapy and on our own special model of hypnosis combined with CBT and mindfulness, called Hypno-CBT®.
Hypno-CBT® is an integrative psychotherapy that draws on social, cognitive and behavioural psychology and psychotherapies with a modern approach to hypnosis. (Hint: we do not see hypnosis as trance!)
We also integrate wisdom and practices from the East: meditation, mindfulness and applied philosophy.
And a philosophical approach informed by both Greek Stoic philosophy (the basis of CBT) and existentialism.
Sometimes we call it an integration of the ancient (mindfulness & philosophy), the magical (hypnosis & imagination) and the scientific (CBT).
This allows therapists to have enormous skill and flexibility in the way they integrate hypnosis with other techniques.
Many people feel that while CBT can work amazingly well there is perhaps something missing. Hypno-CBT® joins the dots and fills the gaps – providing a truly coherent and integrative view of human functioning, stickiness/rigidity and growth/flexability.
You will find out more about Hypno-CBT® – how and why it works – in the webinar!
This means we take a scientific approach and what we teach is based on known models of human change/learning, backed up by clinical and experimental research.
Hypnosis is a serious research topic in psychology. There are well over ten thousand academic papers on hypnosis and hypnotherapy, dedicated academic research journals and dedicated hypnosis research labs at major universities. Hypnosis is a HOT topic in cognitive neuroscience!
In our courses we look at both experimental research – that’s research into how hypnosis works – and also clinical research – or what hypnosis can be used for.
We make it simple and understandable (just as you would for clients).
If you’ve taken or are taking a degree in psychology – then you’ll particularly love this course. (Because on many courses what they teach conflicts with much of modern psychology).
Remember: if you’re looking for a new career, then your training is the foundation of your new business. You want that foundation to be solid, based on research and grounded in science.
Don’t make the mistake of choosing the wrong training!
Yes — there is plenty substandard training out there!
There are lots of entertaining and “amazing” trainings – but as practitioner trainings they are not truly ‘fit for purpose’.
They simply do not fully equip you to be a therapist.
We know. We see them come to our courses to get retrained.
Every. Single. Year.
Don’t end up choosing the wrong training and then having to take another training because your first training was not ‘fit for purpose’…
