Introduction
This is the third stage of our training which introduces your pathway if you are a hypnotherapist wishing to be registered and accredited with UKCP
On this pathway, you will begin to gain the knowledge and practical skills that will allow you to work with your clients effectively using hypno-psychotherapeutic counselling. Our Stage 3 content will encourage not only competence but also the confidence to be able to explore depth psychology and therefore address more complex issues in the clinical setting.
Stage 3 is the diploma stage, at the completion of which you will receive the award of the Diploma in Hypno-Psychotherapeutic Counselling, with the designating letters DHPC(NC).
The syllabus for this stage requires you to attend one pre-weekend of preparation (covering person-centred skills and ethics) and then five more weekends at monthly intervals, whilst undertaking a programme of home study. On this stage you will be required to complete 100 client-contact hours supervised at a ratio of 6:1.
