Advanced Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy

Pre-Requisite:- Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy with Alpha Hypnosis.

If you are serious about being a professional, fully qualified and competent Hypnotherapist you will require therapy skills other than just knowing how to hypnotize and using direct suggestion. By “fully qualified” we mean someone who meets the high standards approved by the profession, by the NZ Association of Professional Hypnotherapists Inc.

We recommend taking the Advanced Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy. Having these advanced hypnotherapy techniques in your “tool kit” will give you a greater opportunity to help a wider range of clients, and with a broader range of issues. You will have all the necessary skills that will enable you to get in-depth with issues, and guide the clients to a resolution.

Professional Speaker – Highly Recommended

I am a professional speaker and trainer in business and personal development and have a good idea of what is required in order to ensure all goes well.

I found this hypnotherapy course to be very well prepared and delivered.

The content was excellent, with plenty of hands on involvement and practice which took us to the most amazing places and experiences.

I cannot recommend this course highly enough. For anyone wishing to learn one of the best therapy methods available. This is the one to do.

The facilitators at Alpha Hypnosis have an amazing range of experiences and success in hypnotherapy, and to my mind, are the only people to train with in New Zealand.

This course is a must!
