The UK Academy Professional Counselling Courses are designed specifically for people who are already qualified hypnotherapists. We have heard so many times of people wishing to learn counselling skills or to become a professional counsellor as another string to their therapeutic bow, who have had to attend basic courses with others with no therapy background. In many areas there is little choice, and also many in practice find it difficult to attend a day per week (or similar).

Our courses are comprehensive, and although everything necessary is covered, we presume a level of knowledge and involvement applicable to a qualified therapist. We allow you to study in your own time, and while offering full support recognise that independent study is often the most applicable route to you achieving your goals.

Facilitators:

Most modules are facilitated by Shaun Brookhouse and Fiona Biddle. Some other modules will be run be guest facilitators.

Who Should Attend?

These courses are designed for practising hypnotherapists who want to maximise their results and their professional standing.

Entry requirements:

Prospective students would be expected to have a formal qualification in hypnotherapy. All prospective students will be interviewed before being offered a place on the course. The decision of the UK Academy as to the suitability of past experience and qualifications for undertaking this course will be final.

Structure of the Courses:

These courses are distance learning. There is support available from the tutors at every stage of your study and there is no maximum time for completion of any module.
