If you're a hypnotherapist or healthcare practitioner looking to develop specialist skills in working with IBS, HypnoIBS® Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy training provides a practical, evidence-based approach grounded in our growing understanding of the gut–brain connection.
Gut-directed hypnotherapy has an established evidence base for helping people with IBS, with research demonstrating improvements in gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life. This comprehensive practitioner training brings that evidence into clinical practice, giving you the knowledge, structured protocols, scripts and practical resources you need to confidently support clients living with IBS and other appropriate disorders of gut–brain interaction.
I chose this course because I wanted to specialise in helping people who suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I found the course content excellent and in depth. It is well delivered and comes with session protocols so you can plan what to do in each session. The client handouts and recordings are extremely valuable. I would highly recommend this course

Does gut-directed hypnotherapy work for IBS?
Gut-directed hypnotherapy has an established evidence base as an intervention for IBS and has been shown to improve gastrointestinal symptoms and quality of life for many people with the condition. HypnoIBS® translates this research into a practical approach that hypnotherapists can use when working with appropriate clients experiencing IBS.
What is gut-directed hypnotherapy?
Gut-directed hypnotherapy is a specialised form of hypnosis that uses suggestions and therapeutic techniques focused on the gut–brain relationship and gastrointestinal functioning.
