     The Institute

    The Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy was established by Dr. Keaney in 1990, to fill the evident need for comprehensive, contempory and structured training of Hypnotherapy.  The original Diploma course in clinical hypnotherapy has now been extended to include a Foundation course in Hypnotherapy-psychotherapy, a Diploma course in hypnotherapy-psychotherapy and an Advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy-psychotherapy.  As will be seen in this website these different courses fill different needs.

    The training programmes of the ICHP cover two fundamental aspects of hypnotherapy, namely Suggestion Therapy and Analytical Therapy and employ trance techniques and tactics as an adjunct to person-centred, evidence-based psychotherapy.  The course encapsulates an eclectic mix of therapeutic and psychotherapeutic modalities including evidence-based Cognitive-behavioural therapy, Family Systems therapy, Gestalt therapy, Psycho-synthesis, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, NLP, Ego State/Parts Therapy, Guided Imagery, Inner Child work, Self Development and Transpersonal work, Past Life Regression,and etc. The Courses enable Clinical Practice in both the development and maintenance of personal Wellbeing and also in the formal treatment of Mental Health issues.

    Since its birth in 1990 the ICHP has grown considerably and now has hundreds of ICHP graduates working in successful private practices in many countries.   The ICHP has developed international mirror organisations, namely, ICHP Australia, ICHP Sweden, ICHP Germany, ICHP UK  & etc, but this is just the beginning ...

    The Institute is affiliated with, and our trainings accredited internationally to, the demanding standards of the National Council of Hypnotherapy N.C.H.(UK) and the United Kingdom Confederation of Hypnotherapy Organisations (UKCHO).  Currently the Institute is in the process of upgrading existing Advanced Diploma students to ICHP Associate Degree and post-graduate level Master’s degree qualifications in hypnotherapy and psychotherapy. From September 2011 ICHP will commence their new Associate Degree Course for new Enrolments. Already the Institute runs post-graduate workshops ln hypnotherapy and psychotherapy routinely throughout the calendar year, and has done so for more than 10 years. These will form the basis of the Master's Degree qualification.

    Taking all the training courses, workshops, master classes and presentations by overseas speakers, the Institute is probably one of the largest providers of training in Hypnotherapy-psychotherapy in the world.  Without a doubt your qualifications will receive recognition no matter where in the world you may choose to practice.
