Choosing the right hypnotherapy training course can be confusing. There are so many courses available, but how do you know which one is going to give you the skills and confidence to become a really good therapist?
I know because I’ve been through this myself.
Over the years, I’ve completed around 20 different training courses, including hypnotherapy, NLP, EMDR, Past Life Regression, spiritual hypnosis and other therapeutic approaches.
Some courses have been excellent, some hugely disappointing! Some teachers have also been excellent… others have also been hugely disappointing! It can be a real a real lottery!
But I’ve learned something from all of them, particularly about what makes a great training course and what doesn’t.
My own journey into therapy started in conventional healthcare, working as a paramedic with the London Ambulance Service, before becoming a physiotherapist. From there, I became an acupuncturist and Reiki therapist, eventually moving into hypnotherapy, Past Life Regression and Life Between Lives work.
Today, I work full-time as a clinical hypnotherapist, Past Life Regression therapist and Life Between Lives facilitator, having helped hundreds of clients over the years and continually developing and refining the techniques I use.
I’m also closely involved with the Michael Newton Institute, where I’m a Career Partner, a member of the applications team and a LAB Coach, supporting students through their training and helping with training activities. This has given me valuable insight into the standards and skills needed to become an excellent therapist.
I was very proud to be asked by the MNI to put together a training course, to be the Gold Standard of hypnotherapy training.
So I decided to bring together the very best of everything I’ve learned and create the kind of training course I would have loved to attend myself.
And that’s how the BEYOND Hypnotherapy Diploma came about.
My aim was to create something that goes much further than simply learning how to hypnotise someone or guide them through a past life.
I aim to train people to become the Best…the best possible hypnotherapists & past life therapists— confident, capable and able to help clients make meaningful changes in their lives.
I also wanted to create a course that prepares students who may wish to progress to the Michael Newton Institute’s advanced Life Between Lives training.
In this article, I’ll share what I believe makes a great hypnotherapy training course, what you should look for, and why I believe BEYOND offers something quite special.
Hopefully, it’ll help you decide whether this is the right course for you.
Start Hypnosis Academy21 Reasons to Choose the BEYOND Hypnotherapy Diploma
1. Learn from a Full-Time, Experienced Therapist
I’m not just teaching hypnotherapy — I’m using it every day. I work full-time as a clinical hypnotherapist, Past Life Regression therapist and Life Between Lives facilitator. I’ve helped hundreds of clients over the years, have well over a 100, 5-star Google reviews and I bring that real-world experience into everything I teach.
So all the techniques I teach, have been proven to be effective!
2. Two Professional Diplomas in One Course
You’ll train in both Clinical Hypnotherapy and Past Life Regression Therapy, giving you two complementary areas of professional practice. Successfully complete your assessments and you’ll receive two professional diplomas, preparing you to begin working with clients in both areas.
3. Developed in Collaboration with the Michael Newton Institute
I was asked by the Michael Newton Institute to develop this training programme to help prepare therapists for their advanced Life Between Lives training.
I’ve based the structure of BEYOND on the Institute’s own approach, with training spread across separate weekends, regular supervised practice and time between sessions to develop your skills.
As the UK’s only Michael Newton Institute Career Partner, my aim is to provide the highest-quality foundation in clinical hypnotherapy and Past Life Regression Therapy for students who may wish to progress to specialist LBL training.
4. Regular Supervised Practice
On most training days, you’ll work with other students in breakout rooms, practising what you’ve learned. My teaching assistants and I will be there to observe, guide and give you constructive feedback in a supportive environment. This is one of the most important parts of the training.
5. Ongoing Mentoring and Support — During and After the Course
You’ll be part of a dedicated WhatsApp group where you can ask questions, arrange practice sessions and receive support from me, my assistants and fellow students. We also have approximately monthly group mentoring sessions on Zoom, for six months after the course, so you’re not left on your own once the training finishes. Super important!
6. Live, Interactive Training — Not Just Videos
All 18 training days are taught live on Zoom. You can ask questions throughout, take part in discussions and learn directly from me, the assistants and the other students. You’re never just sitting at home watching hours of pre-recorded lectures.
7. Internationally Recognised IACT Certification
I’m an IACT Master Trainer, and the course provides a pathway towards becoming an IACT Certified Hypnotherapist. Successful graduates can apply for professional certification and, subject to IACT requirements, use its professional designation and logo.
8. Learn How to Become a Really Good Hypnotherapist
There’s a big difference between knowing how to hypnotise someone and knowing how to help them make meaningful changes. I’ll teach you how to guide clients confidently into hypnosis, understand why you’re using it and, most importantly, what to do once they’re there.
9. Become a Skilled Past Life Regression Therapist
You’ll learn how to guide clients through childhood regression, womb regression and Past Life Regression. More importantly, you’ll learn how to work therapeutically with the experiences that emerge, including unresolved emotions, relationship patterns and karmic themes.
Also learn to connect with your spirit guides & ask them potentially life changing questions!
10. A Pathway Towards Michael Newton Institute LBL Training
BEYOND is designed to help you develop the foundational therapeutic and regression skills needed before progressing to the Michael Newton Institute’s advanced Life Between Lives training. It is the recognised pathway.
11. A Balance of Teaching, Demonstrations and Practice
I generally divide each training day into three parts: teaching, live demonstrations and practical experience. You’ll learn a technique, watch it being demonstrated and then have the opportunity to practise it yourself.
This method has been proven to be the most effective for learning & confidence.
12. Small Classes and Personal Attention
I deliberately keep the groups small. I want to get to know each student, understand their strengths and help them develop at their own pace. Some students need more encouragement, while others need a little more challenging. Good teaching is about recognising the difference.
I encourage the group to become a little family for a few months…& perhaps for much longer!
13. Learn Powerful Therapeutic Techniques
You’ll learn techniques including Parts Therapy, Timeline Technique, Inner child, emotional release and belief change. These give you a flexible set of tools for working with a wide range of client problems, rather than relying on the same script for everyone.
14. Touching into the Spiritual Realm and Connecting with Spirit Guides
You’ll learn how to guide clients beyond their past-life experience to briefly explore the spiritual realm, where they may connect with their spirit guides. These guides may offer healing, take clients to a special healing place, help them review their past life or answer 5 important, potentially life-changing questions about their relationships, challenges and purpose.
This is an introduction to spiritual regression work, without going into the depth of a full Life Between Lives session.
15. Earn Your Certification Through Practical Assessment
You’ll have four months after the training to submit two recorded sessions: one Parts Therapy session and one Past Life Regression session.
I’ll personally review your work and provide feedback. Once you’ve successfully completed both assessments, you’ll receive your diplomas.
16. Business & Marketing
Becoming a good therapist is one thing. Finding clients is another. That’s why we dedicate a whole day to business and marketing, including building your website, setting up your Google Business Profile and learning how to promote your services. I’ll share what I’ve learned from building my own practice.
Someone once told me that to be a successful hypnotherapist, you need to be a businessperson first, a marketer second and a therapist third. I’m not sure I agree with that order, but I certainly understand the point!
17. Time to Practise Between Training Weekends
The course takes place over six weekends, usually with around two weeks between them. During these gaps, you’ll be encouraged to meet with fellow students and practise. Hypnotherapy is a practical skill, and the more you practise, the more confident you’ll become.
18. Six-Hour Training Days
Rather than exhausting eight- or ten-hour days, our live training days are six hours long. This gives us time for focused learning, demonstrations and practice, while still leaving you time to relax, reflect and absorb what you’ve learned.
19. Get a Head Start Before the Course Begins
Once you enrol, I’ll send you a link to an exclusive collection of training videos on YouTube, available only to my students. These include videos I’ve recorded myself, along with some additional learning resources, to help you start developing your knowledge before the course begins.
You’ll also receive a recommended reading list. There are several books on there, including a few I’d particularly encourage you to read before we start, or during the early stages of the course.
The idea is simple: the more prepared you are before we begin, the more you’ll get out of the live training and practical sessions.
20. Learn in Clear, Easy-to-Understand English
I’m the only English trainer teaching Michael Newton’s work in my native language. As his methods were originally developed in English, this can be particularly helpful when learning hypnosis, where the exact words, phrases and subtle nuances of language can make a real difference.
On my previous course, I had students from Russia, Belgium and other parts of Europe. Many spoke English as a second language, and some told me my teaching was easier to understand than other courses they’d attended.
Whatever country you’re from, my aim is to explain things clearly, make the techniques easy to understand and ensure everyone feels comfortable asking questions.
21. Learn from Someone Who Genuinely Cares About Your Progress
I want my students to succeed. That means listening, encouraging, challenging and supporting you throughout your training.
My goal isn’t simply to teach you a collection of techniques. It’s to help you become a confident, capable therapist who feels ready to begin working with real clients.
