Flexible, Accredited Training in Hypnotherapy, Psychotherapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy

If you are looking for accredited training to become a Registered Psychotherapist, Psychotherapeutic Counsellor or Hypnotherapist, you are in the right place.

At NCHP, we offer a caring community where learning transforms both who you are and how you help others.

Since 1977, we’ve trained therapists to the highest standards available, and we accredit our graduates with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) and the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).

We support and guide you on the rewarding journey to becoming a therapist, as we understand the process both practically and personally, having made that journey ourselves.

Our approach to therapy and teaching is relational, outcome-oriented and pluralistic. Our team consists of experienced practising therapists who place supported experiential learning, relatedness, and growth at the heart of your training.

Our curriculum is aligned with UKCP, CNHC, and SCoPEd standards, created, delivered, and overseen by a team working to Higher Education Academy standards.

Our Approach

As part of the College of Outcome-Oriented and Hypno-Psychotherapies (COOHP) within UKCP, our training is designed to be creative, flexible, and deeply personal. As an approach we are relational, outcome-oriented and grounded in pluralism as a philosophy and practice. We train you to work with theoretical depth as well as experiential nuance, creativity and imagination. This honours both client individuality, your authenticity, and allows you to integrate theory with real-world responsiveness in a multitude of flexible ways.
