Welcome to the SFTA Yorkshire Hypnotherapy Diploma
Course!
This program is specifically designed for individuals like you who aspire to establish a successful private hypnotherapy practice, whether on a part-time or full-time basis, fitting seamlessly into your life commitments.
Our course stands at the forefront of modern hypnotherapy, integrating the latest brain research and cutting-edge psychotherapy techniques from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT),Positive Psychology and ACT.
Our unique modality is firmly rooted in contemporary neuroscience.
Course Structure and Practical Application
We believe that the most effective practitioners are those who possess genuine confidence, which is cultivated through consistent practice. From Module 1, you will be actively engaged in practising hypnosis—initially framed as relaxation techniques—with your fellow students, family, and friends. This hands-on approach continues throughout the course, both during classroom sessions and between modules. We encourage you to aim to see 4-5 people a week. Initially, these sessions will be for relaxation (lasting approximately 20-25 minutes). After Module 3, you will progress to
conducting full sessions (around 50 minutes). Given that clients typically engage for about 8-12 sessions, you won't be taking on 4-5 new individuals each week.
Upon completion of Module 6, we anticipate our students will begin to charge a student rate, typically around £30-£40 per session.
Your Qualifications
Upon successfully completing all modules and classroom assessments, you will be awarded the SFHD - Solution Focused Academy Hypnotherapy Diploma on the final day of the course.
This qualification empowers you to practise as a Clinical Hypnotherapist both faceto-face in the UK and online, anywhere in the world.
For those aiming for the highest standard, we uniquely offer the Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma (HPD) as an optional element of our course. You have the opportunity to complete this prestigious award in just 8 months. The HPD is externally verified by the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and is assigned a Level 4 qualification by the NCFE. A Level 4 qualification is generally considered equivalent to the first year of a bachelor's
degree, signifying a robust academic foundation. It consists of a series of questions answered using our online learning platform and a submission of 4 case studies.
You have an additional 10 months after conclusion of the course to submit your portfolio. While assessments are ongoing throughout the course, you will demonstrate your knowledge
by presenting elements of your sessions in class. John and Natalie are lead trainers for the NCH which is the accrediting body so rest assured you will be fully supported.
Course Fees and Additional Costs
We believe in complete transparency regarding our course fees. The total cost of the diploma course is £3480.00. This can be conveniently paid in instalments over eight or ten months. A 10% deposit is required to secure your place after a successful interview and place offer.

Hypnotherapy Training FAQs
How do I find people to practice on?
Our comprehensive marketing modules throughout the course are designed to equip you with successful marketing strategies. You'll also have access to training videos via our online learning platform. Generally, once word spreads, it creates a "snowball effect" for client acquisition.
What happens if I can’t attend a weekend?
It is essential to complete all modules as required by the NCH for the Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma. We have multiple school locations and can arrange for you to attend any missed module on dates that are convenient for you. For shorter absences (e.g., an hour or so), we can arrange a catch-up session with your tutors.
Can I meet the tutors and current students?
Yes, unlike other training academys, we strongly encourage prospective students to visit our current cohort at Leeds Trinity University. These visits usually take place at 11 AM on a Saturday or Sunday. This is a fantastic opportunity to meet the tutors, interact with current students, and experience our teaching style firsthand. Details of these will be offered upon succesful application.
How do I enroll on one of your hypnotherapy training courses?
To enroll, you can contact us via our website or visit our clinic in Halifax for more information on upcoming sessions.
What makes the SFTA Hypnotherapy training course stand out from the rest?
Simple... Practicality, Expertise and Understanding. Many of the other training courses may teach you how to hypnotise someone! That is the easy part! Understanding the techniques, dealing with the nuances of different clients, building a succesful hypnotherapy practice through marketing, the learning and support beyond qualification... These are the things that are important.
What is Solution Focused Hypnotherapy how does it differ?
Right from the very start of our course you will learn in a very simple and easy to understand way, how the human mind works in relation to problem vs solution focused talk. As opposed to dealing with a clients problems, we explore with them in a collaborative way, solutions and exceptions all in a way that starts to remould the brain. Our research is modern and 100% accurate both anatomically and physiologically.
