Modular training courses accredited by the British Institute of Hypnotherapy

The BEST training is designed to allow students of all backgrounds to gain a thorough working knowledge of modern Hypnotherapy, NLP and Stress management.

There are many organisations offering training in Hypnotherapy - ranging from correspondence courses to University-style teaching over many months. The BEST method comprising of 3 Modules are held in Liverpool, Glasgow and other locations if you can host an intensive 8 day course.

Students are given an intensive mix of practice and theory allowing them to work with real clients, improving habits and anxiety conditions even after Module 1. The second and third Modules build up to the deeper change techniques needed for analytical and clinical work, using modern Stress management, Ericksonian Hypnotherapy and advanced NLP.

How do we train?

Many traditional hypnotherapy schools treat the process as a process by which the student learns several induction techniques, scripts for various habits and the basics of connecting these within a therapeutic hour.

We treat the whole process as a learning experience out of which the student will emerge with both personal insights and an intuitive understanding of the process of empowering change.

Often students report that their personal changes through interactive sessions on the course are the most memorable aspect.
Along with a level of training that keeps abreast of all the major developments within the international fields of Hypnotherapy and NLP, we believe we have a powerful and balanced course that is ideal for both the seasoned practitioner and the interested novice.

Robin Oxley, the main therapist/trainer, demonstrates the techniques that are needed with real situations, generally helping course students who bring forward a variety of issues to be resolved. This is optional but generally seen as one of the best methods of interactive learning and personal growth.

Many essential skills of voice intonation and the methods of developing powerful interventions are learned by seeing then copying.

The model of Ericksonian storytelling is woven throughout the training, which often dips into the metaphysical world of universal purpose and the power of intention.

Students are often surprised at how quickly they find the ‘Voice’ within them that emerges to accompany their therapeutic careers.
