Hypnotherapy CPD in Working with Children

Our hypnotherapy CPD in Working with Children is designed to give you, the therapist, the tools and techniques to help children across a wide range of issues.

Many therapists tend to shy away from treating children for the simple reason that they don’t feel comfortable or we just don’t know what approach to take, as children do not readily respond to the standard adult inductions or regimens. This training offers the specialised techniques required for this work.

For anyone primarily trained in treating adults, the difference in the responses of a child can be very disconcerting. However, once those differences are understood, the process can be surprisingly easy and very rewarding. Children are usually free of the sort of expectations that can inhibit adults and so are often more receptive to change work. It requires a ‘letting-go’ of many of the givens in treating adults and the embracing of a much more playful way of working. Once we achieve that level of comfort, working with children can become a joy.

This Hypnotherapy CPD in Working with Children includes the following:

Child logic and psychology

Piaget’s theory of cognitive development

Special factors in treating the under 6s

PSI Training have developed a unique model of therapy and this is reflected in our Continuing Professional Development (CPD) courses. We offer hypnotherapists the opportunity to study these at home through our distance learning CPD diploma courses. These distance-learning CPD courses are adapted from our weekend intensive Masterclasses, which have been running since the mid-nineties.

In addition, we continue to offer a variety of advanced one- and two-day Masterclasses run as face-to-face workshops which are open to all hypnotherapists and those with a psychotherapy background. These are advertised on our website and run throughout the year at a number of locations, including Newbury and Salisbury/Southampton. We also run bespoke Masterclasses for hypnotherapy groups, peer groups and corporate clients, throughout the UK and Europe.

All of our CPD courses are the culmination of over 40 years’ experience in the field of hypno-psychotherapy. All are certificated for CPD validation and are equivalent to 15 hours CPD study (with the exception of any one-day courses). They are all available as a Masterclass or by distance learning.

Our Masterclasses are designed to be run over a weekend. If you are interested in a one-day introductory workshop, please get in touch and we can discuss your requirements.
