Is Hypnotherapy the Right Career for You?



Have you ever thought about a career that combines helping others, personal growth, and flexibility? Hypnotherapy might be the path you’ve been looking for. As more people turn to hypnotherapy for effective, natural solutions to their challenges, the demand for skilled practitioners continues to grow.


In this blog, I’ll share insights into hypnotherapy training, how hypnotherapists help people, and why I’m relaunching my accredited Level 5 Hypnotherapy course in September 2025.


Why September 2025?

The start of the school year is a time for fresh beginnings. Many people—especially parents—find themselves ready to pursue new opportunities as their children start school or university. This timing aligns perfectly with a two-year training programme that equips you with the skills and confidence to build a rewarding career in hypnotherapy.


Advanced qualifications like this are increasingly valued, not only for their credibility but also for the depth of expertise they provide. This course is designed to meet the growing demand for practitioners who can confidently handle a range of client needs.


What Makes Hypnosis Unique?


Hypnosis is a completely natural state that we all enter regularly—when we daydream, get lost in a book, or zone out during a commute. In this relaxed state, the mind becomes more open to suggestion, making it an incredibly effective tool for change.


Hypnotherapists guide clients into this state to help them overcome challenges, unlock potential, and achieve their goals. Whether it’s quitting smoking, managing anxiety, or building confidence, hypnotherapy offers tailored solutions to suit individual needs.


How Hypnotherapists Help People


Hypnotherapists work with clients to address a wide range of issues, including:

- Stress, anxiety, and phobias

- Weight management and healthy habits

- Smoking cessation and addiction recovery

- Self-confidence and personal growth

- Coping with grief, trauma, and long-term medical conditions


By understanding the subconscious mind, hypnotherapists empower clients to break through barriers and create lasting change.


What You’ll Learn in the Level 5 Course


This comprehensive programme covers everything you need to become a confident, accredited hypnotherapist. Topics include:

- Understanding human psychology and the subconscious mind

- Building confidence and communication skills

- Techniques for anxiety, phobias, and addiction recovery

- Setting up a successful practice and working ethically


Delivered over two years in St Ives, Cambs, the course balances theory, hands-on practice, and ongoing support from experienced tutors.


Earning Potential as a Hypnotherapist

Hypnotherapists typically charge between £50–£80 per session, with experienced practitioners charging £100–£150+. Your earning potential will depend on your location, marketing efforts, and client base, but hypnotherapy offers the flexibility to work part-time or full-time while earning a professional income.


Why Choose My Training Programme?


I’ve been a hypnotherapist for nearly 25 years and have trained over 1,000 hypnotherapy students. As the developer of this comprehensive programme, I ensure that every aspect of the course is designed to set students up for success. As a therapy supervisor for over 20 years, I understand the challenges and rewards of this career.


I’m also the author of three books on hypnotherapy:

- Empower Your Subconscious: The Power of Self-Hypnosis

- Your Subconscious Could Make You a Millionaire

- The Little Book of Millionaire-Making Self-Hypnosis Scripts


My passion is helping others unlock their potential, whether they’re clients seeking personal transformation or students embarking on a new career.
