Practice-ready therapy training

The LHA strap-line was 'practice-ready therapy training' and that's what we were about. We wanted our students to graduate from our training, well-prepared, confident, and excited about starting their therapy business. Having been a full-time self-employed therapist since 1995, I've been saddened by the number of competent therapists I've met over the years, who've been unable to make a living from their passion - their therapy.

Therapy attracts people who want to help others, and many students chose to train as a hypnotherapist for that very reason. It can be scary after training for a whole new career to have to become an entrepreneur overnight and to set up a business. That's why practice building was a regular topic throughout all the modules.

Our classes were small, practical, and interactive. There were plenty of opportunities to practise and contribute. It was important to me that students' experiences were as real as possible. We invited volunteer clients to visit our training sessions, so students could have the unique opportunity to watch me conduct a full client consultation and hypnotherapy session, and then have the chance to answer questions. Students tell me they found this a very valuable learning experience. 

Feedback has shown that academic results alone do not lead to confidence to practise, so we worked hard to ensure that students had a good balance of theory and practice. Our courses were designed to equip students with everything they needed, and we believe that our training offered a well-rounded approach to therapy study.

Our courses were designed to equip students with everything they needed to set up in practice as soon as they completed their training and received their diploma.
