APPLY NOW FOR OCTOBER 2008 ENTRY

We welcome applications from doctors, dentists and qualified mental health professionals.

Hypnosis Unit UK is an independent training organisation, replacing the prestigious UCL Hypnosis Unit as from October 2008.  HUUK courses are taught in association with the UCL Psychology Department and Eastman CPD, and continue to be taught at University College London (UCL) by staff (experienced clinicians and researchers) teaching on the current UCL programme. 

 

… we only train qualified professionals …

We firmly believe that clinical hypnosis should only be used adjunctively - to increase the effectiveness of methods already used by practitioners trained to deal with the problem at hand. As such we only train qualified professionals, and encourage our students to describe themselves first and foremost by the profession they are trained in.

Our students are thus not trained to be ‘hypnotherapists’ but continue to define themselves by their primary professional qualification as, for example, a dentist who uses hypnosis in their work.

      

… rigorous, evidence-based training…. 

We place particular value in providing an intellectually rigorous, evidence-based training in clinical hypnosis.  Uniquely, an important element of our training programme is the teaching of a contemporary model of hypnosis developed by Prof David Oakley.  This model underpins the course teaching and enables our trainees to design individualised hypnotic interventions without dependence on scripts.  The hypnotic techniques we teach are firmly rooted in established psychological models / theories and as such can be explained, with credibility, to fellow professionals. 

 

Recently there has been a burgeoning of interest in the use of hypnosis as a research tool (click here to see our  research page) but  hypnosis  continues to be frustratingly difficult to define . Regardless of the difficulty in defining hypnosis,  we are proud that our courses enable students to be aware of all the current issues central to the debate.

 

If you are interested in submitting an application for October 2008 we advise that you return the application form as soon as possible.
