ENROLLING NOW! 

Two of the greatest Hypnosis events this year with Stephen Brooks

The Annual Ericksonian Hypnosis Practitioner  Summer School in London 18-26 August 2012

AND

The Annual Ericksonian Hypnosis MASTER Practitioner Retreat in Thailand 1 – 9 December 2012

We offer an accredited three level hypnosis training (Theory, Practitioner and Master Practitioner) for people wishing to set up a hypnotherapy practice, people already practicing and health professionals wishing to integrate hypnotherapy into their work. The Theory and Principles course can be taken online at any time and is free of charge – it is a professional “degree level” training so takes approximately one year to complete part time. Most students set aside about 3 hours per week to complete this. The Practitioner course is the first part of your practical training and this occurs at our London Summer School in August. The final part of your training is our Master Practitioner course which takes place in December as a retreat in Thailand. Most people also use this opportunity to take  time for a holiday. The courses are based on Stephen Brooks unique approach to Ericksonian hypnosis, an approach that utilizes the skills and techniques of Milton H Erickson within the therapeutic context of compassion, respect and kindness as taught for the past 25 years by British hypnotherapist Stephen Brooks.

On our courses you will qualify as a skilled and compassionate therapist and learn the latest cutting edge advanced techniques of Ericksonian Hypnosis with hypnosis pioneer Stephen Brooks – the world’s leading expert on Indirect Conversational Hypnosis and Psychotherapy.

If you are a beginner our courses will give you a complete in-depth knowledge and experience of hypnosis and hypnotherapy, from the basics to advanced level, so you are able to work professionally and ethically as a fully qualified hypnotherapist. If you already have experience with hypnosis our courses will take you to a much higher level of ability in terms of developing your skill and a caring approach to helping patients. We will teach you things you would never learn from traditional hypnosis courses and you will be more effective than you thought possible with our compassion based training. We have over 30 years experience in teaching cutting edge Ericksonian Hypnotherapy techniques and principles internationally.

“Stephen Brooks is a living example, and a great example of how therapists should be. I highly recommend you take one of his courses, I can assure you they are fascinating, interesting and highly effective trainings. He has integrated his knowledge, and I should say “wisdom” into his day to day life and he’s an expert in Ericksonian Hypnosis.”

Course Structure

The courses are taught in modules and each module contains a lesson followed by a demonstration and an exercise. Each lesson is based on a technique, strategy or skill. Students are encouraged to also study the theory behind Stephen’s work independently as our Practitioner courses are primarily a practical “hands on” training where students get to practice Ericksonian Hypnotherapy for themselves. We have set up a support system for students to study the theory and this is available online for no extra charge. 

Many courses only offer a certificate of attendance for their courses. Each of our courses offers a Certificate Qualification based on your assessment throughout each training and an accredited Diploma qualification at ADVANCED level on completion of your professional training. Our policy is that you will be assessed throughout each course on your ability to demonstrate the skills and techniques you are being taught. This is essential if you wish to practice as a fully qualified hypnotherapist.

Our courses are open to anyone wishing to study Stephen Brooks’ approach to Ericksonian Hypnosis and who wish to make a genuine positive difference to the lives of others. It will be of special interest to nurses, doctors, psychologists, social workers, NLP practitioners, trainee and qualified hypnotherapists, CBT practitioners, health professionals of all disciplines and people new to hypnotherapy wishing to set up in practice.  

We run our courses only once a year so early booking is highly recommended. Application does not guarantee you will be accepted onto the course, and online interviews may be requested. Deposits are always refunded if an application is refused. Most of our students are international and travel in from different parts of the world and combine each course with a holiday. The dates for our courses have been chosen to guarantee the best possible weather. We invite you to read the comprehensive course syllabus for each level: (Practitioner Syllabus + Master Practitioner Syllabus) and also learn what previous course graduates have to say about their experience of training with us..

Our Legacy

Any kind of skill based clinical training requires considerable integrity, a respect for ethics and highly refined skills and we like to think that we have been able to achieve these over the years. On our courses, Stephen Brooks teaches mainly by demonstration, so every hypnosis or therapy technique is broken down and explained in detail as we demonstrate hypnosis and hypnotherapy, often with actual clients and patients. Stephen Brooks has been designing and teaching his courses for over 25 years while continually updating and introducing new research and ideas into his work. Likewise he is has become an innovator himself having introduced new therapy techniques, skills and principles into this continually evolving field.

We are one of the oldest hypnosis training institutes in the world (est 1979) and by building on a solid foundation of Ericksonian Hypnosis and continually up-dating and refining our courses we think we have got it right. Stephen has specialized in teaching Erickson’s approach exclusively since 1984 and we have so far taught courses in over 20 hospitals and universities in the UK and internationally in France, Canada, Singapore, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, Thailand, Ireland, Switzerland and Japan. Our courses represent the best of everything that Erickson was, combined with the best of everything that Stephen Brooks is, and is taught in an innovative and dynamic way that adds so much more to what is now possible with hypnotherapy.
