Stephen Brooks

Stephen Brooks is a leading expert in Indirect Conversational Hypnosis and is well known for being the first person to introduce Ericksonian Hypnosis into the UK in the 1970′s. Since then he has taken Erickson’s techniques beyond what people thought were possible and he is one of the most highly respected hypnotherapists and trainers in the world today. Brooks covers a lot of information on our courses – please refer to the extensive syllabus down the left side of each course page. He is well known for being able to teach advanced skills in an easy-to-learn way and at a pace that is suitable for everyone. His aim is that you graduate with a high level of comptencey and skill superior to most graduates of hypnotherapy training courses. His accomplishments over the years bear witness to this fact. He is solely responsible for teaching most of the “big names” active in hypnotherapy today.

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 are already experienced, we guarantee to develop your level of competence considerably, as our training methods and course syllabus are said to be of a much higher level than most other training organizations. We have over 30 years experience in teaching cutting edge Ericksonian Hypnosis techniques and principles internationally, and it is this long established history of hypnotherapy training that enables us to provide such high quality training.

Your Qualification

We offer an intensive practical training for serious students of hypnosis, trainee and practicing therapists and professionals from the caring professions, so we do ask for your serious commitment to developing your skills if you intend registering on our courses. The courses teach basic and advanced hypnosis skills that you can apply immediately. No previous experience with hypnosis is required, although experienced practicing hypnotherapists usually make up about 30% of the students on our courses.

Our courses offer qualifications to practice as a hypnotherapist. We currently offer a “Practitioner Diploma In The Advanced Indirect Conversational Hypnotic Induction Techniques of Brooksonian Hypnosis” and a “Master Practitioner Diploma In The Advanced Covert Psychotherapeutic Strategies and Creative Interventions of Brooksonian Hypnotherapy” following which you will be eligible to apply to the UK General Hypnotherapy Standard Council for accreditation. Their accreditation is also valid internationally.

Who should attend

We offer courses in Brooksonian hypnosis and psychotherapy which are open to anyone wishing to study Stephen Brooks or Milton Erickson’s approach to hypnotherapy. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds – NLP, psychology, counseling, medicine, nursing, therapy and hypnosis or are just interested in the subject.

Course Structure

Our 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. Although students should also study the theory behind Erickson’s work our courses are primarily a practical “hands on” training where students get to practice what they are learning. You are encouraged to study the theory independently and we have set up a support system for students to do this. We publish books based on the course lessons and have set up a free online training support course for students to discuss each of these lessons on each course. The free online training support course is also open to people not attending this course as we believe it is an opportunity for others to participate in discussions about Brooks’ work.

Student Assessment

Many training organizations only offer a certificate of attendance for their courses without any student assessment. Some students then use this a qualification to convince members of the public of their academic standing. Not only is this dangerous, it is unethical. We offer an accredited Diploma qualification so it is essential that you are assessed throughout your training as you develop your practical skills. On our courses you are assessed 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.

Milton H Erickson

All of our courses are based on the work of Stephen Brooks who’s mentor was world acclaimed psychiatrist Milton H Erickson. Erickson’s contribution to hypnosis and psychotherapy is considerable. He was highly innovative and was responsible for introducing therapeutic metaphor, pattern intervention, tasking and other strategic approaches into psychotherapy in addition to indirect suggestion and implication as therapeutic tools. Everyone using hypnosis these days knows of Milton Erickson’s contribution to the field and as the world’s leading authority and innovator in psychotherapy and hypnotherapy his approach is indispensable and far in advance of traditional hypnosis techniques. Some of his more accessable therapeutic techniques have become the foundation for many different therapies such as Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Brief Family Therapy, and Strategic Therapy. British Hypnosis Research has specialized in teaching innovative courses based on Erickson’s approach exclusively since 1984 and we have so far set up training programs in over 20 hospitals and universities in the UK and internationally in France, Canada, Singapore, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, Thailand, Ireland, and Japan.

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, we teach 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 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.
