The course directors, Alan Cooper and Carole Wan, have over twenty years experience as therapists, both in Dronfield, Derbyshire (near Sheffield) and Harley Street, London.  Carole and Alan have been employed by a number of training and education establishments, including Sheffield University, to deliver training in both hypnotherapy, NLP and stress management.  They have trained with many of the well-known names in the field of hypnotherapy and psychotherapy, including Michael Yapko, Jeffrey Zeig and Rubin Battino.  Carole has been an invited presenter for The National Council for Hypnotherapy.

The Academy...

The Academy of Clinical & Medical Hypnosis has a proven success rate in creating accomplished therapists, many of whom who now run their own hypnotherapy business.  Initially offering courses in Sheffield, Chesterfield and Central London, the Academy of Clinical & Medical Hypnosis has continued to expand, and now provides a range of hypnotherapy training courses and CPD's (continual professional development) throughout the UK.

Uniquely, we equip students with a thorough grounding in stress management, something we believe is an integral part of any training course for psychotherapists and hypnotherapists alike.  Carole and Alan are experienced in the theory and practice of stress management, having worked in the corporate sector delivering training for a variety of SME's (Small & Medium sized Enterprises) in addition to appearing on national TV as part of a documentary on stress management training in London.  Students who wish to study further are invited to take our Diploma and Advanced Diploma in stress management, with a curriculum in line with recommendations devised by The International Stress Management Association, ISMA.

Most of our twenty-day courses run annually, either in spring or autumn.  Some of our centres, such as Sheffield, London and Chesterfield, run twice a year.  Our business is constantly growing, and we now have a team of highly qualified trainers who are also successful therapists in their own right.  Our range of continual professional development courses have expanded alongside our twenty-day course and can be accessed by any of our students once they are registered with us, as well as being open to any qualified hypnotherapist.

Fast Track Training

One of our latest ventures, due to demand, is our 'fast track' training course, aimed at those students with existing medical/psychological and psychotherapeutic qualifications.  Further information is available here. We will also be offering, effective from autumn 2009, a three-day 'introduction to hypnosis' course for anyone who wishes to find out more about this fascinating subject and learn some valuable self-help techniques using hypnosis and NLP.
