Pathway to UKCP Hypno-Psychotherapeutic Counsellor The National College Of Hypnosis And Psychotherapy

We teach Hypno-psychotherapeutic counseling in an integrative way covering a range of approaches in a holistic approach while taking into account the client’s mind, body and soul in the context of their lived experience.

The training helps you also understand yourself at a deeper level while exploring how to create and support the therapeutic relationship while you develop advanced skills in working with emotional, thought and behavioral issues. Your qualities as a therapist in your interaction with the client are essential to both the process and the outcome.

Psychotherapeutic counseling is often longer term than traditional counseling, not exclusively based on support and not primarily solution-focused. It’s a form of depth psychotherapy where you help the client explore themselves for a greater understanding of, and insight into, their real self.

It fosters a deep understanding of emotions by looking at childhood and the roots of beliefs, personality and identity, seeking causes rather than focusing on symptom relief.

Within a safe and supportive environment, psychotherapeutic counseling deals with more complex issues that have developed over a client’s life. It’s an interactive approach based on relational methodology with the sovereignty of the individual’s experience and their personal complexity at its heart.

The Pathway

This pathway is the second-highest level of qualification we offer and provides you with all you need to qualify and register as a Hypno-psychotherapeutic counselor with The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy and set up your practice.

Our study pathways are broken up into what we call stages, the stages you study will depend on the pathway that you have chosen. On this pathway you will need to complete four stages, Stage 1 which is four months, Stage 2 which is eight months, Stage 3 which is five months and Stage 4 which is a variable length of time, the whole pathway can not be less than three years.

We provide course materials to you in electronic format and those will be supplemented by your own wider reading and study.

You can be up and running in business and seeing clients in no more than twelve months from starting your pathway which is when you receive the award of CHP(NC) and are a CNHC registered Hypnotherapist, any hours with clients from completing Stage 2 and qualifying as a Hypnotherapist will count towards the clinical hours you need for full UKCP accreditation.

How You Will Benefit

We support you at all points on your pathway and once you do qualify as a hypnotherapist (after Stage 2, 12 months) and receive your certificate, you will join the CNHC register and be able to have a listing on commercial national search databases and accredited registers for people looking for a Hypnotherapist, as well as advertising yourself using the CNHC Quality Mark.

This pathway continues through Stage 3 and Stage 4 to full registration and accreditation with UKCP as a Hypno-psychotherapeutic counselor at which point you will have access to a much wider range of professional databases and registers searchable by the public.

UKCP also opens up to you the panels for major health insurers such as BUPA, AXA and AVIVA and allows registration with Counselling Directory, Psychology Today and many other major providers of referrals.
