Lesserian Curative Hypnotherapy Practical & Theoretical Certification

Comprehensive, practical Courses in Curative Hypnotherapy.   The practical course in curative hypnotherapy allows the witnessing of actual treatment and demonstrations to back-up all information, tuition and explanation provided.

The practical course is designed for those wishing to be in practice as Curative Hypnotherapists.

Courses are suitable for those with no prior knowledge and those  with qualifications in traditional uses of hypnosis who wish to upskill.

The course covers all aspects of the treatment and business, enabling graduates to run a successful practice and treat the full array of symptoms with which they may be presented. The courses are accredited and/or validated by all the major professional associations for hypnotherapy, and graduates are eligible for membership to them.  

When you start in practice, you will be consulted not only by people with many different problems, but also by those with many differing beliefs and expectations. Thus, we teach by working with genuine people with genuine problems. You will see the different reactions and how each person is dealt with as an individual, from the first session and throughout their treatment.

On subsequent days, as we work through the treatment with each client, you will also see how any difficulties are overcome and benefit from full discussion, explanations and strategies. Thus, you will gain the deepest possible understanding providing you with the flexibility to deal with almost any client when you begin in professional practice.

Each practical course averages a student/tutor ratio of 4:1, so that all students have a chance to have their questions answered and opinions listened to. It also ensures each student benefits from individual and personalised feedback and guidance on their progress throughout the course.
