Our Past
Since 1977, NCHP has delivered respected, evidence-based, and accredited training, making us one of the UK’s longest-established providers of hypnosis and psychotherapy training.
We are an accredited training organisation with the UKCP and NCH, and an approved verifying organisation with CNHC.
Your Future
Whether you choose to work within an organisation, private practice, or both, you’ll graduate with the skills, confidence, and professional recognition to stand out from the crowd.
Our courses combine in-person experiential learning, academic study, and online resources to provide a comprehensive learning experience. We create a thoughtful learning experience that builds depth of knowledge, practical readiness, and a future-proof professional foundation.
Our Training Pathways are Built on Three Pillars
We teach and practice from the belief that therapy is an equal, collaborative relationship where the client’s wishes are paramount and their individual truth is respected. We recognise that no single style of relationship works for everyone, and we strive to tailor therapy to the client rather than fitting the client into a rigid therapeutic framework.
Our ultimate aim is to help you develop the ability to adapt to your clients’ relational needs while remaining authentic to who you are as a therapist.
As a member of the College of Outcome-Oriented and Hypno-Psychotherapies (COOHP) within UKCP, our training focuses on helping you develop flexible, creative, and effective solutions based on each client’s desired outcome from therapy.
Whether the work is long-term and relational, short-term and goal-oriented, or somewhere in between, you’ll learn how to meet clients where they are and guide them towards meaningful, lasting change.
We approach therapy from a philosophy of pluralism and draw on the work of Mick Cooper and John McLeod in the field of pluralistic practice. At the core of this approach is a respect for diversity in people, theoretical stances and approaches to therapy including both single-orientation and integrative approaches.
We value that different clients will require different things at different times and work to help you harness their resources as well as your knowledge and skills to create an individualised, collaborative approach to therapy.
Our training prizes pluralism as a philosophy and practice. We draw on a broad range of therapeutic modalities and skills to ensure that you can adapt your approach to each client and work collaboratively in co-creating a relationship and process that truly fits their needs and meets their desired outcomes.
