Watch the IAPH Introduction Video

Be sure to see the IAPH Introduction Video... in it, Rob Kelly FIAPH, who is Training Course Director for the International Association of Pure Hypnoanalysts talks about our unique and specialised form of analytical hypnotherapy called Pure Hypnoanalysis™.

In the video, he explains about the therapy itself and talks in depth about what it really means to be undergoing hypnotherapy training with the IAPH (both the theory and the ‘hands-on’ practical side).  He also describes in detail about the amazing support structure within the IAPH (considered to be ‘second to none’), and the wonderful supportive ‘family’ feel of the association itself.

Also included are real-life testimonials from practicing therapists, who describe exactly what it’s like to be a part of an organization that teaches and practices hypnosis and hypnotherapy to world class standards.

 


 


Training Course - Introduction

The Successful Hypnotherapy Training Course has been producing professional hypnotherapists since 1981, and we have now trained over 7000 hypnotherapists and hypnoanalysts worldwide.

Apart from the inspiring and empowering content of the training course, which covers all types of hypnosis, hypnotherapy and our very own 'Pure Hypnoanalysis' in great depth, the easy way in which the course is put-together is also inspired,,,

Every single student undertakes our home-study course, which they then supplement by attending our 'hands-on' training seminars and workshops. How much 'hands-on' training you need depends entirely on your previous experience: many hypnotherapy students come from a therapy, psychology, mental health, medical, sales or similar background, and hence bring with them skills and insights very useful to a hypnotherapy career. (Non UK residents can obtain their hands-on training in their own Country, or with our DVD home-study Seminars.)



Dr. Anna Forbes MBBS, BMedSci, DHP, MIAPH writes...

Making that initial decision to undertake the IAPH diploma course was a significant milestone in my life. Not only thoroughly equipping students for a career in private practice, the course is a total eye-opener into the workings of the human mind and its complex development, to include social and intrinsic influences.

I honestly felt I had been given the key to understanding humanity! And amazingly that wasn't even the most impressive part of my journey to-date with the IAPH! On qualifying, I was then given access to the online members' forum, which, not only contains a wealth of information & experience to learn from, but is also so actively utilised by countless experienced members that any concerns the newly qualified therapist might have are answered almost instantly- and to a very high standard.

The regular diverse weekend seminars are packed with information & insight and are invariably illuminating & enlightening! The level of support & genuine care I have received from the IAPH in setting up my business & practising this new art has been second-to-none, I couldn't ask for any more. Even to those that wouldn't consider practising as therapists I would strongly recommend taking this course as the rewards are endless."

Dr. Anna Forbes
MBBS, BMedSci, DHP, MIAPH




The course is very simple and easy to study, with a progressive build-up of information and insight, backed up with our amazing support structure: we have regional meetings, phone support lines, and our superb online support group, where you can have immediate contact with other students on this course - no other training course offers this level of support.

In fact, you will not only be fully supported all through your training, but also through your professional career as a hypnotherapist - now that is unique!

On successful completion of the home-study course (coupled with a program of hands-on training designed to meet your specific needs) you will be awarded the Diploma in Hypnotherapy and 'Pure' Hypnoanalysis. This Professional Diploma, is the main entrance criteria for Membership of the IAPH, and it will also gain you Membership of almost all the other hypnotherapy organisations the world over.

Sue Peckham hypnotherapist writes...

I developed an interest in hypnotherapy after working for several years in education and wanted a course that would give me a thorough knowledge and understanding of the subject.

After looking into many of the courses available I'm so pleased that I chose to study with the IAPH.   The course itself was fascinating and I was able to study at my own pace which ensured I was able to fit it in around work and family commitments without feeling pressured.

After completing the course and receiving my diploma I felt confident to go into practice part-time and within 2 years was able to give up my job and practice hypnotherapy full-time.

The support I have received from Rob and colleagues within the organisation has been amazing and there is always someone on hand to give advice whenever I need it.

The decision to enrol on the IAPH course was the best decision I've ever made and has enabled me to fulfil a life-time ambition to work both here and abroad doing a job I absolutely love.

Chris Gill, hypnotherapist in practice since 1992 writes...

Back in 1992, I had spent a lot of time researching the different hypnosis and hypnotherapy courses that were available. I am glad I choose the IAPH diploma course because it is concise, to the point, complete and sets the standards by which others try to follow. It gave me a good grounding in all aspects of hypnosis both practical and theoretical. This gave me tremendous confidence when I first started practicing as a full time hypnotherapist. Since then I have seen thousands of people with all kinds of problems, and continue to practice as a full time therapist, and it is all thanks to the IAPH diploma course

Read about some therapists who have trained with the IAPH

We've asked some of our therapists to tell you a little bit about themselves, their background before they trained with the IAPH, and their experience of the IAPH and its training.

 

What will you gain from this unique training course in hypnosis and hypnotherapy?

  • A unique training program that isn't expensive, will train you for private practice, and is recognised the world over by many different hypnotherapy organisations, including all of the UK 'registers' and associations.
  • A comprehensive understanding of people, and what makes you, and them, 'tick' - you will be able to asses a persons 'personality type' within a few minutes of meeting them (this is very important if you are trying to decide how to help them most effectively - an example of this would be ... a person consults you with thoughts/compulsions to vomit - you need to know whether they are 'obsessing' or being 'compulsive', because it makes a difference to how you will treat them).
  • An insight into 'human nature' that isn't available elsewhere; you will learn what GENUINELY motivates and drives people - REAL cases will be discussed and examined. This is about what REALLY goes on in a persons subconscious mind - and isn't about our 'interpretation', it is about genuine motivation.
  • Expert knowledge of hypnosis - what it is; how to use it; how to hypnotise safely. The different depths of hypnosis will be discussed and how we achieve these different states. Does a person need to be deeply hypnotised to act upon a suggestion? How can we tell how 'deep' a person is in the hypnotic state? What type of induction suits which type of person?...
  • Advice for setting up your own practice: advertising, premises, website, support, the law, ethics of private practice, how to get clients, subsidised practice insurance. All the help you need in order to establish your own private practice in hypnotherapy.
  • Details of how to use understand and practice 'Pure' Hypnoanalysis - the most effective and liberating therapy in the world today! This amazing therapy has to be seen to be believed!
  • A clear understanding and appreciation of anxiety, phobias, depression, eating disorders and other symptoms - what REALLY causes them, and why? Why do some people get angry, and some get even? Why do some people put on loads of weight, whilst others become anorexic? How come most women who stop smoking (by willpower) put on weight? How is it that a brother and a sister can have a very similar upbringing, yet one is happy, positive and healthy, while the other is perpetually sick and depressed?

ie Lowery from Co Galway, Ireland writes...

I have just completed the 2 day Pure Hypno Analysis course in Coventry, with the IAPH and I have to say it was a course with a difference!  Rob’s lecturing style was very refreshing and there was a supportive, learning environment for all attending.

That short 2 day course has completely changed my mind as to what is required from a hypnotherapist to effectively help people once and for all with seemingly complex, long term  unresolved issues.  I have always thought that for most people, suggestion therapy was quite limited, and lacked long term benefits, and now it just no longer seems enough after what I have learned from Rob and the other IAPH members attending.  I was so impressed that I have now decided to sign up for the full IAPH course,  as I have realised there is so much more to learn, and I want to take full advantage of Rob’s seemingly boundless knowledge on the subject of pure hypno analysis!

What's in the actual course notes and lectures?

The written element of the course is contained in twelve key modules (detailed below) The modules are written in 'plain English' and are very easy to read and assimilate.

Psychology, NLP, psychoanalysis, suggestion therapy, clinical hypnosis, Eriksonian hypnosis, direct and indirect suggestion, metaphor, personality profiling, counseling, persuasion, applied psychology and tried and tested psycho-therapeutic techniques are all taught along the way. This learning is contained within:

  • 20 Audio lectures, on pre-printed CD's. (for details of each lecture, see 'course modules' below. The Audio Lectures supplement the written course modules, and help bring insight and understanding into the therapeutic process. The Audio Lectures are contained in two 'presentation' CD boxes
  • 9 hours of training video, supplied on 4 DVD's (The DVD's are 'multi-region', and will play on any DVD player, or PC/MAC with DVD drive) The video was shot at a recent IAPH Advanced Training Course: 'Easy Smoking Cessation' The course includes two genuine anti-smoking sessions, with REAL clients!


"95% of what a practicing hypnotherapist and
hypnoanalyst needs to know in order to be able to

practice safely and effectively,
he can learn inexpensively, at home..."



Tracy Fenton, a recent student writes...

Having recently completed and passed the Successful Hypnotherapy course I really felt the need to say how fantastic I thought the course was.  There is no denying that the course was challenging, not in just in an academic way, but in a way that really made me think about who I am as a person and how I have become the person I am today.  The course also challenged my beliefs about the characteristics of other people, how we can be shaped and changed by past events, and how past events that may seem insignificant can influence our thought processes and actions in our everyday lives.

I found the subject of hypnotherapy, its history and how it is used today, in the Successful Hypnotherapy course, completely fascinating, it was extremely well written and used language that I feel everyone could understand and relate to.

The course was not just challenging and fascinating but also written in a way that was not only factual but humorous, entertaining and engaging as well.  The c.d.'s and dvd's supplied with the course were excellent and I found them really helpful, not only to gain experience from listening and watching other people as hypnotherapists, but also to use some of the c'd's to relax with and completely unwind at the end of the day. The support online on the students forum was invaluable, and I found Rob Kelly to be really helpful in answering any queries, quell any doubts I had and generally encourage me throughout the duration of the course. I have learnt an incredible amount from this course and I now feel very confident in my abilities as a hypnotherapist and I am looking forward to opening my own practise this summer.

I would recommend this course for anyone hoping to become a hypnotherapist, and I feel sure that everyone who does do it will find it as interesting and beneficial as I have.


Tracey now has her own full-time hypnotherapy practice:

Accompanying audio lectures: Lecture 2 - Explanation and demonstration of Hypnosis.

    Heather Davidson writes...

    Having trained as a psychotherapist and become disillusioned with the methods that I'd learnt, I was very excited to find Rob Kelly's Pure Hypnoanalysis course. The twelve weeks of training analysis (the personal-therapy I went through) achieved more positive change in my life than the twelve YEARS of weekly psychotherapy I had completed previously. The training course, has a down-to-earth approach that I find refreshing - there's no esoteric mumbo-jumbo here - use the techniques correctly, and the therapy will work – brilliantly! The training weekends are superb - informative, interesting, and a great opportunity to have some fun with the community of experienced hypnotherapists and fellow students in the IAPH. The organisation has been incredibly supportive throughout, and I'm very much looking forward to an exciting new career.
    Heather Davidson

Part 2 - Talk by Auriol Hiscock (ex-course tutor, and one of the first Fellows of the IAPH) including Demonstration Hypnotic Induction.

 

Cara Ostryn Bsc writes....

Prior to studying the diploma course with Successful Hypnotherapy, I was a practising therapist who had been on a variety of different courses over the years, picking up snippets of information along the way. Because of this, I had a 'toolbag' of semi-successful techniques, and would often be confused as to which ones to use... Now that I just use the one, very simple and effective technique of pure hypnoanalysis, my success rates are considerably higher, and I am REALLY helping people to make significant changes in their lives.

The course itself is written in an engaging, and easy to digest style, and working full-time already, It was great to have been able to study at home, in my own time. Now I am an IAPH Member, the constant support and advice from fellow IAPH therapists makes this truly remarkable therapy easy to practise.

Liz Hogon MIAPH writes...

I had been in practise as a hypnotherapist for many years, before I undertook the Successful Hypnotherapy course and I have to say that it has completely changed not only the way I work, but my outlook on life as well! The course is so well written, and goes into so much more depth than the other training courses I have completed. Pure Hypnoanalysis, as taught by Rob Kelly has got to be the easiest and most effective therapy there is.
In one word, 'amazing'!


Liz Hogon's website

 

What is different about this course, as opposed to any other?

1. The bulk of the studying can be undertaken in the comfort of your own home - saving you up to £5000 on 'classroom costs'

2. This is the only course in the world, that teaches an amazing powerful type of hypnotherapy called 'pure hypnoanalysis'... this therapy can help people to REALLY change their lives - instead of just 'plastering over the cracks'

3. You can study this course at your own pace: study for 2 hours per week, or 40 hours per week - it's up to you

4. The IAPH offers support, help and guidance to it's Members more than any other professional therapy organisation: you become part of a team. You are not sold a training course then left out in the cold! See our online support groups

5. With our Diploma, you can join just about any other hypnotherapy organisation the world over (subject to Membership criteria)

6. You become part of an elite group of Professional, Successful Therapists


Greg Coyne MIAPH writes...

To anyone considering taking the plunge and undertaking the Successful Hypnotherapy Diploma Course I would just have three words of advice - DO IT NOW!

The whole experience I encountered has been a success from start to finish. From the time the Diploma Packs arrived on the doorstep to finally passing the examination its all been a fantastic journey. First impressions are always important and the Course Notes arrived well packaged and ready to go. The only problem being that once you start reading them and getting involved you literally dont want to put them down. The course notes are easy to read and superbly supplemented by the set of discs that accompany them. These discs are very important as you will find out when you come to complete your examination.

The beauty of the course is that it can be completed at your own pace. The other important point is that should you have any questions or you dont quite understand something you also have great back-up support in the form of the Students Forum or even emailing Rob direct. There are also regular Courses being run which students are encouraged to attend and you will benefit greatly for going to these not just for nthe superb content of the course but also meeting other mebers and students. You will also find that any question or concern posted on the Students Forum gets an immediate response from a variety of members and students alike offering advice and guidance. You will ALWAYS get an answer!

You never have to feel alone working through this Course.

This course will make you think, stretch yourself mentally, and without doubt improve YOU personally whether you decide to go into practice yourself or not. Superb Hypnotherapy Diploma Course, Superb support during the course  which continues as well after taking the examination - Thanks Rob!

The IAPH Research Project

For the last twelve months, the IAPH has been actively following up people whose lives have been changed by Pure Hypnoanalysis, to accurately gauge the efficacy of our amazing therapy.

A detailed paper about the Research Project is now included in our Successful Hypnotherapy Diploma Course. We have included a copy of the Research Paper here as we feel that it backs up much of the teaching within the course. Prior to the Research Paper we have included a Guide to Understanding Research to enable you to better understand the different ways in which research can be conducted.

Frequently asked questions about The Successful Hypnotherapy Diploma course

Do I need any previous knowledge or experience?
No, the course is very thorough and covers all aspects of hypnosis, psychology and hypnotherapy. No previous experience, or training is required.

What does the course comprise of?
The course is a combination of distance learning, with help from tutors, and practical hands-on courses and advanced seminars.

Can I sample the course without paying full fees?
Yes, you can pay for just a couple of modules to see what the quality of the course material is. Alternatively, you can take advantage of our current 'special offer' of the free DVD Training Course knowing that you have 14 days to make up your mind whether you want to keep the course or not: you can change your mind, for any reason at all, within 14 days of receiving the course, and get a FULL REFUND

Are there any hidden costs with the course?
No. The course you receive is complete. You do not pay any more money to have your examination marked, to receive your Diploma, to receive support or guidance, to receive course updates (they are free and downloadable) or anything else. There is a recommended reading list with the course - a list of five books which are all easily available from your local library - SHOULD you wish to buy these books instead of borrowing them, they will cost you less than £10 each.

Will the course be enough to equip me in a private practice?
Yes, the course provides detailed information on therapy and business. Thousands of people who have studied now run successful full-time practices. There are also many one and two day seminars every month that provide extra training and help with your therapeutic skills and business.

Do I get any support or mentoring?
Yes. One of the main criteria (apart from the uniqueness of our course) that sets us apart from other training schools, is the huge amount of support and guidance given to students - both during and after they qualify. There are private online support groups, access to experienced tutors and the Council of Management. Free monthly regional meetings and get-together's. Most students 'speak' on a daily basis to the course tutors - via the online support groups.

Can I take the course without setting up as a hypnotherapist?
Yes. Many people just study for personal insight and self-improvement.

Can I sample the course materials without paying the full fees?
Yes, you can pay for the modules in stages allowing you to 'test the water' so to speak. Please see course fees for details.

Does the course cover all aspects of hypnosis and hypnotherapy?
The Course is very thorough - to the extent that the qualified student should then possess a greater knowledge of Hypnosis than the average Stage Hypnotist, and a greater knowledge of character and behavior formation than the average Doctor.
Many different techniques of Hypnosis and behavior remedial therapies utilizing Hypnosis are covered - the predominant one being the use of Analysis under Hypnosis to discover and remove the cause of nervous disorders.

Who can study, and do I need previous experience?
No special academic or other qualifications are necessary - just a genuine desire to learn, and an interest in people. Your race, color or creed are incidental to your studies - Ministers of Religion have enjoyed the Course - likewise many Nationalities.

 

Anne Costelloe, hypnotherapist writes...



Can I make a reasonable income in private practice?
Any student progressing into Private Practice in the UK ought to confidently expect an income of at least £30,000 p.a. if working part time for a couple of hours per day, and obviously considerably more than that figure if he/she devotes themselves full-time. Attracting clients is not generally a problem: because our therapy is so effective, the word soon spreads that there is successful hypnotherapist in town.

Is there any communication with tutors and practicing therapists?
As soon as you are registered on the home-study part of the course, I will add you to our online support group - where you can talk to other students and experienced therapists (most students use this facility on a daily basis),and I will also put you in touch with your nearest regional support group. You can also contact Rob Kelly, the course director, at any time.

What happens when I pass the final exam?
You will be proposed for Membership of the International Association of Pure Hypnoanalysts (and any other professional organisation you wish to join), who will also arrange Professional Indemnity Insurance for you. You will also be given all possible advice and assistance in establishing a private practice - as well as any ongoing counselling necessary. (The final examination is a written paper that you complete at home, and send into the IAPH Head Office for marking).

 

Geraldine McCormick, Boston USA

I had trained as a hypnotherapist with another organisation, but I felt I was left lacking and I had no conviction in what I did. I was tought merely to give people a plaster to put over their problems and symptoms - not to help them to resolve them. Since training with the IAPH I can honestly say that my life has changed completely, and I am helping others to change their lives completely: I would recommend the IAPH to anyone

Training with the IAPH is fun, interesting, and very friendly. No other organisation offers the levels of support and friendly guidance that we do. When other professionals come to our advanced seminars, they are often amazed at the family atmosphere that exists. We believe that this type of atmosphere is essential, in promoting safe, supported practitioners.

I'd had a keen interest in psychology ever since my degree, but it wasn't until I enrolled on the IAPH Hypnoanalysis course that I realised how quite how amazing the human mind really was and how such a simple therapy could be so effective for treating so many conditions. From start to finish I found the course fascinating. I thoroughly enjoyed the studying required because the course is so well laid out, and builds upon existing knowledge gained.   I never once felt I was out of my depth with any of the material presented. The reading list is also full of books that prepare you to work within the mesmerising (excuse the pun) world of Hypnotherapy and Hypnoanalysis .

From the very beginning of the course there is wealth of experience to draw on. Experienced members were always willing to help plus regular regional meetings, online newsgroup and telephone support. A big plus for me as a student and indeed as a full-time therapist is that there is immediate contact and support from fellow IAPH members.

I would heartily recommend this course to anyone looking for a new career or indeed anyone wishing the gain insight into how the human mind works. It really will leave you viewing the world in a very different way.
