Training

As with all training, you pay for what you get. When I decided to train in hypnosis and NLP, I found the best there was. I had to go to London, and it cost me far more money than if I had trained with providers nearer home. I had the philosophy that if I went to see a therapist, I would want to know they had trained well. That was ten years ago, and I still continue to train as any good therapist would want continued development.

It worries me when I see courses that are misleading, and aim to rush people through this extensive and intensive training. It takes time to develop into a therapist, you simply cannot do it fast. Any therapist needs time to be able to simulate all the information, and there is a great deal of information to be learned. I think the great hypnotherapists from the last century would turn in their graves if they knew people were selling training that was quick and fast. It also worries me that anyone would think they could know everything about hypnosis and NLP in a short time. I have been in practice for ten years and still I am learning. It took time for me to train in any Master techniques, I would have been so worried to call myself a Master at anything when I first qualified. It is like calling a newly qualified doctor a consultant.

To be a trainer, you have to go through the necessary courses, and take exams. I see newly qualified students all the time who have little confidence to be able to successfully treat clients and when I discuss NLP with them they have little idea of what it is really about.

You can rest assured that either myself or any of my qualified therapists that I personally recommend to you have been personally trained by me. Always ask questions when considering therapy. If it does not sound right, do not allow yourself to be treated. if considering hypnosis as a career, take even more time to ask questions. Find out as much as you can about the trainers. Any good trainer will be more than happy to have any searching questions answered. As a professional I only want the best for my clients and students.
