Pathway to UKCP for Hypnotherapists

Introduction

This pathway provides you with what you need to register as a hypno-psychotherapeutic counsellor or hypno-psychotherapist with The United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy if you are already a hypnotherapist.

You can join this pathway if you have a HPD level qualification as a hypnotherapist and this pathway converts that qualification into UKCP registration and accreditation.

Your Two Options

All our study pathways are broken up into what we call stages, the stages you study depend on the pathway that you have chosen.

On this pathway you need to complete two stages, Stage 3 (variable length of time) and Stage 4 (variable length of time), the whole pathway is usually not less than three years (it can be less dependent on the level of qualification you begin with).

This pathway has two options, you can become a hypno-psychotherapeutic counsellor or a hypno-psychotherapist and you study the relevant Stage 3 and Stage 4 towards the final qualification you want.

The best way to make the decision is to visit the types of therapy we teach page and decide which qualification you want to work towards and then check our quick guide to the core differences in how and what you study on Stage 3 and Stage 4 on each pathway.

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