Free One Year Online Certificate in the Theory and Principles of Ericksonian Hypnotherapy


About the Course: My name is Stephen Brooks and I am the trainer on this course. Enrolling on this free training will make an enormous difference to the way you think about hypnosis. I will be covering a lot of information so please check out the syllabus down the left side of the page. My aim is that you leave with a enough knowledge and enthusiasm to want to study further and hopefully develop your practical skills to a high level of competency. If you decide to do this by continuing to study with me and BHR we have created an intensive 9 day Practitioner Course that runs every year and you are most welcome to join this.

On completion of the free online course you can apply for your Final Assessment and if succesful you will receive the BHR Certificate in the Theory and Principles of Ericksonian Psychotherapy issued by British Hypnosis Research, and if combined with our Practitioner Courses you will also receive the British Hypnosis Research Diploma as well and you will be recognised to practice as a fully qualified hypnotherapist by the UK General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR). Successful completion of our free online course entitles you to preliminary registration with the UK’s General Hypnotherapy Register. This is your first step in becoming a fully recognized hypnotherapy practitioner. To apply for preliminary registration you must email a copy of your BHR Certificate in the Theory and Principles of Ericksonian Hypnotherapy to the GHR. Full details are sent to you when you complete the online course.

We offer an intensive 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 understanding. The course teaches basic and advanced skills and no previous experience with hypnosis is required.

Is it really free? Yes - but you do need to put time and effort into it and be genuine about wanting to help others, aside from this it's completely free. Most students put in a minimum of three hours a week,  others just don't bother sleeping as they are addicted to it so much. You have three years to complete the course but you can easilly get through it in under a year if you create a simple routine for yourself.

Read here if you are complete novice: If you are scared about jumping in the deep end, likewise if English is not your first language, we have created a free one month introduction course to get you started. You will be given a choice of which course to enroll in when you join.

Ericksonian Hypnosis is indirect and so allows you to employ highly effective hypnotic techniques as part of your therapy or care work without any of the misunderstandings of the more direct traditional hypnosis. With the indirect approach the therapist does not imply that he has any special power to hypnotise, instead the emphasis is placed on the client or patient's ability to naturally experience hypnosis for themselves with the therapist's guidance. I believe this is a much more repectful approach to hypnotherapy and it reduces the client's dependence on the therapist as it empowers the patient rather than disempowering them.

Who created Ericksonian Hypnosis? Ericksonian Hypnosis is named after the father of indirect hypnosis, American Psychiatrist Milton H Erickson. Back in the 1970's he was relatively unknown, but he has subsequently become the most influential therapist in the field of hypnosis. Erickson pioneered the use of indirect suggestion, naturalistic trance techniques, hypnotic metaphor, pattern intervention and unconscious communication. Erickson’s approach to hypnosis is recognised universally as the most effective and successful method for inducing hypnosis and that is why I have been using and teaching it for the past 40 years. Yes I really am that old - 60 next year!

My Biography: I was credited with pioneering the use of Indirect Hypnosis in the UK back in the 1970's  when I established British Hypnosis Research courses in more than 27 British Hospitals. I am best known for demonstrations of "live hypnotherapy" with patients in front of groups of students. I find this the best way to explain what I do, it is also exciting for me as I am "flying by the seat of my pants" most of the time! Live demonstrations of therapy also mirrors what would happen in an actual therapy session - so it's a great way to learn. On this free course you will see over 45 hours of me doing therapy with clients combined with my commentary.

Here are some more of the things you will get when you join:

  • Immediate enrollment on our free one year Hypnosis training course.
    •
  • 45 hours of streaming video demonstrations plus running commentaries by Stephen Brooks.

Student comments

“I began the free one year online course in September 1998 and it gave me a huge impetus to study and help others and has made an essential impact on my life. I am a high school teacher and at the same time a psychology student in the second year - what impressed me very much with Stephen Brooks' course is that it is extremely elaborate, concise and it encompasses both theoretical and practical knowledge.The course introduces the participant to the theory of Ericksonian Hypnotherapy gradually and is clearly compiled with the main ideas pinpointed in every unit. After reading each lesson you have the chance to discuss it with other participants. This kind of interaction with other participants in the course is invaluable. You are further motivated to investigate each given topic thus you can improve your knowledge about human behavior. You can even ask others for help. The assessment of your course work is done by your peers and you must also complete a multiple choice test each week. If you take the course seriously you will not only enjoy it but also be able to put the theory into practice. I know from my own experience that the course will surely have a good effect on your life. Thanks to this course I have already managed to help many people. I am exceedingly grateful to Stephen Brooks for sharing his experience with me.” Rezso Lazar - Romania

“This course has truly been a blessing as I am able to get a College level education, without having to pay the high cost. To me it's an invaluable source of information as well as motivation to actually learn and master these therapeutic techniques. Thanks for giving me and countless others the opportunity to know themselves better and to get to know others, so as to be able to help create a better World, by facilitating change at the individual level. I am very excited to be learning technique after amazing technique of NLP, Hypnosis and Ericksonian Psychotherapy and I have already learned so much yet I have done less than one month of the full 12-Month free online course.” Joel Lopez - Puerto Rico, USA

"As a graduate of the excellent free on-line course by Stephen Brooks on Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and NLP, I can only say that it has expanded my mind and greatly improved the quality of my life!  It is much better than many courses that I have paid for, and the quality of the information is superb!  It sparked a lot of interest in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and NLP for me and I am continuing to study and experience them both.  Also, the online community is of the highest caliber and Stephen Brooks is an excellent teacher!” Pedro Di Giacomo - USA

“After spending thousands of dollars and hours to attain understanding of the hypnotic process, I discovered Mr. Brooks free online course. Although formally schooled and certified as a hypnotherapist, my informal knowledge was lacking. It seems as if most schools code training with the intention to limit your understanding and keep the proverbial carrot dangling. The BHR course is unreal. I literally get feedback from hundreds of students and dozens of moderators and graduates. Even when you feel you’ve reached your plateau, you will discover yourself subconsciously using techniques from this course. It seems that you can help teach the lessons as you learn them, reinforcing your own knowledge base. How do I know this course is great? Other sites charge to let you see interviews and lessons given by Stephen Brooks. They are literally the exact lessons and interviews that you are offered pro-bono from BHR. I owe the greater deal of my conversational or Ericksonian abilities to this course and I am not even half way through. Thanks Mr. Brooks.” John B Lee IV - USA

“It is with great gratitude that I proffer this testimonial and give my permission for the inclusion of my name and the photo. We all learn at our own pace and in our own style. Some stay focused, keeping their goals in sight. I just seem to meander from one personal insight to another- as if on an unhurried journey. Stephen's online course has been like an amazing paradox, both free and immensely valuable.” Les Coogan – Ireland

"I would like to say to anyone thinking about joining this excellent course that for me it is one of the best things I ever did. The best things they say in life are free and this is one of those things, if you are keen to learn something new and meet new friends then join the Stephen Brooks hypnosis course - thank you.” Brian Tatlow - UK

 

 

“I was naturally skeptical when I first read of this free course but Stephen Brooks' course is absolutely genuine, down to earth, free of self-aggrandizing hype, confusing flights of fancy and extraordinary claims. Stephen teaches Milton Erickson’s discoveries directly and clearly, he illustrates all his lessons with hours and hours of footage of his real sessions, putting his own performances available for all to pick apart and analyze. In this way you really understand how all the skills weave together. So the transition from learning to providing therapy is as easy as possible given this is not a live training. And given that it is free and gives you limitless access to course materials and forums, I certainly didn't also expect live moderation by trainers and responsive technical support! Stephen Brook's desire to genuinely improve people's lives more than his own reputation and bank balance is very clear.”  Chris Preager - UK

“Your free online course in Ericksonian psychotherapy and indirect hypnosis was one of the best courses ever. A "must" for every ongoing coach and therapist. Thanks not only for the very interesting lessons… one of the most important parts are the self-reflecting questionnaires and the possibility to exchange ideas with other students.”  Andreas Tenhagen - Germany


“What Stephen teaches is very beautiful, simple, and powerful. I started the course to work on my own image and beliefs. A friend was having difficulty with a pattern of poor relationships with men. After watching several of Stephen's sessions I decided to help my friend. As I worked with her I imagined what Stephen would do and I also followed my heart, sort of blended his thoughts and my thoughts. Months later I ran into my friend at a party. She took me aside and told me I absolutely must do this sort of work. Her entire life had changed. She was happier and had met a wonderful man who respected her and treated her wonderfully. I remember while working with her one particular thing I learned from Stephen which was almost like the magic of a Jedi when I began to explain to my friend that her beliefs were in the past. "In the past." Simple and yet magical. Beautiful work from a wonderful website British-Hypnosis-Research. Earl West - USA
