Once welcomed onto your pathway, you will have access to hands-on practical and academic training and resources designed to guide and support you from first contact until qualification and beyond.

At The National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy we believe in helping people to help people. We believe that mental health is a human right and not a privilege and we’re driven by the hope that the therapists we train will be part of making that change.

We can help you Since 1977 we’ve trained therapists to the highest standards available and we accredit our graduates with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). We support and guide you on the rewarding journey to becoming a therapist because we understand the process, academically, practically and personally, having made that journey ourselves.

Our content is created by a Higher Education Academy recognised team and meets UKCP standards, our course tutors are all experienced practising therapists who place supported practical learning at the heart of your training.

Our four study pathways are structured according to your needs, we mostly have applicants who:

Which Pathway Do I Choose? That depends on whether you want to be a hypnotherapist, a hypno-psychotherapeutic counsellor or a hypno-psychotherapist.

You don’t have to decide straight away and many of our students who begin on the pathway to becoming a hypnotherapist will carry on to full accreditation with UKCP.
