"Hi, I am in a similar situation to you and am currently exploring courses too. Which one did you choose in the end?"

"I give a satisfaction guarantee and mentor my students for life after their training. Hypnotherapy is unregulated and largely unrecognised, certainly in the UK from the established medical side. ALL hypnotherapy training is on a level with any other…"

"Welcome to Hypnothoughts!  I think you will enjoy your experiences here. What got you interested in hypnosis to begin with?  Melissa Roth www.melissaroth.com ; Your Medical Hypnotherapy Connection"

"Great, thanks Lindsay. That puts my mind at rest. I'm very much like you, I'm not at all into the more spiritual/past life side of things.   The HPD is where I started out looking, and actually Quest say that although the course is…"

"I looked at many schools before I trained, I made my choice on the syllabus and the trainers own style and my personal beliefs. For example, there are schools who present a quite spiritual emphasis, those who concentrate on past lives etc. that is…"

"I wouldn't be overly concerned about whether or not they are accredited by the APHP. The reality are there any MANY hypnosis associations and they will all tell you that theirs is the best.   I can honestly say that the three courses that…"

"Welcome to HypnoThoughts Victoria! I'm glad that you could join us. Katherine Zimmerman www.trancetime.com "

"Well you can't say fairer than that.  I think I have just missed the start of the course at the Essex Institute, so will continue to consider Quest and the NTIB. (Neither of which are accredited by the APHP... oh this is so confusing!)"

"Hi,   You are always going to get the situation that training companies teaching their own brand of hypnotherapy. Despite what some people may think they all work. I think the key is to pick a route that you feel the most comfortable with and…"

"Barry - thanks for your thoughts. I talked with Trevor and his wife today with regards to training with Quest, and I came away feeling very positive about that college. I have yet to make contact with John Butler, but I've read many people…"

"@ Barry - I am sorry I didn't get to meet and hang out with you when I was in London- @ L.V. Hi, I was teaching in London (in the Thistle Marble Arch Hotel) in Oct. 2011 and I had a chance to discuss regulation with Terence Watts who is the…"

"HI   I dont know anything about the National Institute but i am aware of quest and the hypnotherapy training institute of britain.   Quest is run by Trevor Silvestre and he is well known within the profession and has published several…"

"Thanks Barry. I didn't know if it was really the done thing to talk about training on here.   Can I ask your (and anyone else) thoughts about the following colleges?   Quest National Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy Hypnotherapy…"

"How's this for a coincidence. I have run a number of hypnosis trainings in the past in London Victoria! At the Thistle Hotel.   As I said I really wouldn't worry about legislation.   I am not offering trainings at the moment so I…"

"Thank you both for your fast responses. Yes, I do FEEL like I want to do this. Before having my son I was working as a magazine editor in london, and although the money was decent I have never been a big fan of having a boss, and I certainly…"

"Hi, I wouldn't worry about  regulation if I were you. It has been talked about for years and has never happened. You goal of three clients a day is perfectly achievable if, and this is a big if, you treat is as a business. If you sit there…"
