Merseyside overview


The ethos of the course is a professional combination of both clinical and self-development disciplines, empowering you to appreciate your own and your future clients’ mind, body and spirit connection. 


You will receive a thorough grounding in both disciplines, and learn the significant impact this dual approach has, along with the various techniques and methods which have been used successfully with thousands of clients. The training you receive in hypnotherapy processes far exceeds that of most basic and many advanced courses. 

Course content

The Merseyside course provides a comprehensive training in all areas of hypnotherapy and the therapeutic process.  Whilst aimed at complete beginners, the course covers topics that would normally only be covered in advanced training courses.
