Offering you the best in Hypnotherapy Training in Scotland

You are in safe hands:

With so many training options available these days, it can be tempting to choose on price alone. Look carefully at accreditation too: does the school have independent external accreditation, or does it accredit its own training?

A course that seems inexpensive can cost you more later if you find yourself struggling with client work and have nobody experienced to turn to for advice. The price matters, but so do the practical skills you develop and the support available after you qualify.

If you want to build a lasting career as a hypnotherapist, choose training that gives you a thorough grounding, plenty of practical experience and access to ongoing support. These foundations help you work safely and ethically, grow in confidence and give your practice the best possible start.

Our school is fully accredited by The National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and The British Institute for Hypnotherapy and NLP

You’re welcome to apply or ask a question, there’s no pressure.

Testimonials

What our students have to say

Our testimonials are genuine and reflect the personal experiences of individuals who have trained or worked with us.

Dr Fiona McLeod, Helensburgh, Scotland

“I thoroughly enjoyed studying for the HPD with The Scottish Academy of Hypnosis and Mind Therapies. John and Rae are busy, experienced therapists who actually walk the walk‚ as well as talk the talk and their skill in hypnotherapy was evident.”

Alexandra Clark, Perth, Scotland

"The Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy course was life changing on both a professional and personal level. Not only did I learn an incredible amount about hypnotherapy and other mind therapies, I learned a lot about myself. The quality of the teaching and the course work was excellent. Along with the formal teaching, the practical sessions and the wealth of knowledge and experience the trainers imparted, led me to feel confident and excited at becoming a hypnotherapist.  Myself and my fellow students always looked forward to Hypno weekend and it was an experience we will never forget."  

Adele Green, North Lanarkshire, Scotland

"In all honesty this is the first course that I was sad to finish.  The learning environment is second to none and the welcome from Rae and John set the scene for the group to learn so much about a whole range of techniques which can be used to help so many . 

Throughout the course opportunities were provided to observe techniques and practice with other group members which really brought home the effectiveness of the therapy.  Being part of a group of diverse colleagues who worked so well together in sharing the journey was such a privilege and an experience I will not forget.  

I would highly recommend this course and although I am a bit apprehensive about starting up a business I have taken a very important message from this learning experience ….instead of thinking “What If” I now focus on “So What!”. 

Thank you so much for your support, professionalism and including such a wonderful sense of fun."
