The Academy of the Inner Mind provides an advanced hypnosis course is for practitioners who want to move beyond running a protocol and start working with real confidence, clarity and professional judgement.
This programme is validated by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC) and the ACCPH internationally, and it is designed at a degree-level standard. It is built for hypnotherapists who want deeper learning, stronger ethical reasoning, and a more mature way of thinking about client work.
If you are the kind of practitioner who enjoys learning, wants to keep raising your standards, and wants to be known for quality, this training was built for you.
What makes degree-level hypnotherapy training different?
Many entry-level or diploma programmes give you a solid foundation: a structure for sessions, a set of scripts, and a collection of protocols.
Degree-level training is different. It asks you to:
Research and evaluate ideas rather than accept them automatically
Analyse what is happening in the client’s process and adapt accordingly
Think deeper about the why behind the work
Build reflective practice that improves both ethics and outcomes
This is the kind of training that changes your professional identity. You do not just add skills. You become a more thoughtful practitioner.
Who this course is for
This training is a strong fit if you:
Have completed your initial hypnotherapy training
Want to work with more confidence when clients present with complexity
Want to strengthen ethics, boundaries and decision-making
Want to develop a more natural, responsive style in sessions
Want a qualification that signals advanced-level standards
Key features of the Advanced Hypnosis Course
1) Degree-level depth
This course is designed to a degree-level standard. The focus is research, in-depth analysis, and a more sophisticated way of thinking.
You will be encouraged to question what you were originally taught, explore the reasoning behind different approaches, and develop your own professional judgement.
2) Moving beyond scripts, without losing structure
Scripts are useful. They can help you learn pacing, language patterns and session flow.
But at advanced level, you also need to be able to work responsively.
This training helps you develop the ability to work confidently without scripts when appropriate, and to write your own high-quality scripts when you want them. Over time, your work becomes more natural, more flexible, and more aligned with the client in front of you.
3) Validation that supports both UK and international recognition
The programme is validated by the GHSC, which based in the UK with members throughout the world.
It is also validated by the ACCPH, which provides international accreditation and recognition.
If you are already a GHR member, completion allows you to upgrade your status to GHSC Advanced Hypnotherapy Practitioner.
If you are not with GHR, you can still complete the course with ACCPH validation, and you may also choose to join GHR alongside another professional body.
4) Reflective practice and portfolio-based learning
Reflective practice is not an add-on. It is central to ethical work.
You will build a portfolio that captures your learning and development. This includes a personal development plan that supports honest self-reflection, professional growth, and a clearer sense of your strengths and edges.
5) Ethics, boundaries and professional reasoning
Advanced work requires more than confidence. It requires sound judgement.
Ethics and reflective decision-making are woven throughout the course, so you can practise in a way that is client-centred, responsible and defensible.
6) Support and community while you study
Advanced training can feel isolating, especially when the material is challenging.
This course includes monthly meetups so you can talk through the material, ask questions and deepen your understanding. You will also have access to a Facebook group for peer connection, support and networking.
7) A clearer path to being paid for quality
When you can articulate your reasoning, work more flexibly, and practise with stronger judgement, it becomes easier to communicate your value.
That supports:
Attracting clients who care about quality
Feeling confident about your fees
Building a reputation for advanced-level work
Fees and payment options
You can enrol here with a single payment of $750.
Or you can choose 12 monthly payments of $62.50 by enrolling here.
