Clinical Hypnotherapy Training in Devon
Clinical hypnotherapy training is designed for people who want to develop a practical and professional understanding of hypnosis, hypnotherapy and client work. At Devon School of Hypnotherapy, students are supported through structured training that introduces the foundations of hypnotherapy alongside safe, responsible practice.
Training is led by Chris Fleet, founder of Devon School of Hypnotherapy, who is a GHSC accredited trainer and GHSC accredited practitioner. His teaching combines practical knowledge, professional experience and a supportive approach to student development.
Training with a Professional Focus
Clinical hypnotherapy training should give students more than a basic understanding of hypnosis. It should help them learn how to work with clients appropriately, communicate effectively, understand professional boundaries and recognise the importance of ethical practice.
Devon School of Hypnotherapy places strong emphasis on responsible training. Students are encouraged to understand what hypnotherapy is, what it is not and how to avoid making promises or guarantees about client outcomes.
What You Will Learn
During clinical hypnotherapy training, students are introduced to hypnosis, the subconscious mind, inductions, deepeners, suggestion work, scripts, consultation skills and the structure of hypnotherapy sessions.
The training also explores the difference between stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy, common misconceptions, contraindications, professional conduct and how different approaches may be used in different client contexts.
The aim is to help students develop practical skills while also understanding the responsibilities that come with client centred work.
A Structured Route into Hypnotherapy Practice
Devon School of Hypnotherapy offers a structured route for students who want clinical hypnotherapy training and are ready to work towards professional practice. The Diploma in Hypnotherapy is delivered over ten months, with training taking place one weekend per month.
This format gives students time to learn, practise and reflect between sessions. It is particularly suitable for people who are balancing study with work, family commitments or an existing professional role.
Who Is Clinical Hypnotherapy Training For?
Clinical hypnotherapy training is suitable for people who want to begin a new career, add hypnotherapy to an existing wellbeing or therapy based service, or develop a deeper understanding of hypnosis and client support.
Students may come from a range of backgrounds, including coaching, counselling, complementary therapy, healthcare, education, wellbeing or personal development. Previous hypnotherapy experience is not always required, as the training pathway supports students from introductory learning through to more advanced study.
