So you have an interest in the techniques and uses of hypnosis and hypnotherapy. The main purpose of this website is to tell you about the Courses that ICHP runs, what you will have an opportunity to learn and what you may be able to achieve with this learning.

Should you decide to take the Journey you will discover ~

• The Power of Self-hypnosis to bring about fundamental desired changes in your life;
• The skills which will enable you to help relieve suffering and discomfort in others, and
• The means to facilitate the actualization of each individual’s potential, the realization of aspirations and the overall enhancement of wellbeing of both the individual and society, as a whole, as a reflection of those individuals.

 

Distance Learning

Distance (open) learning is the mode of non-contact learning in which you can study at home or work, in a way and at a pace, which suits you best.  The benefits of distance learning have been proved over the years as a uniquely flexible approach to enhancing your career prospects and developing your personal skills with minimal disruption to your normal routine.

You can begin your studies at the time of year which suits you best and progress through the course at whatever pace is right for you.  You are supported in your studies on an individual basis by your ICHP(Australia) tutor.  Distance learning is a very cost effective way to acquire new skills and qualifications.  As you progress in your studies the resources we send you will build into a coherent reference library.  Our printed manuals are easy to understand, clearly explaining the theoretical perspectives which the experts use, and the assignments help you to apply the skills you have already learned.  With our CDs, or tapes, you will hear specific examples of hypnotherapy in action and with our DVDs you can see experts use the techniques you are studying and you will gain additional insight concerning their application.

 

Career Considerations

Our classes are structured for those who intend to pursue a career in Hypnotherapy-Psychotherapy as well as those for professionals in other healing arts.  Hypnosis is a very powerful adjunct to any therapeutic modality and many professionals in the healing arts have taken our training and successfully adopted Hypnotherapy-psychotherapy as an additional modality.

Examples of the diversity of the above include physicians, dentists, chiropractors, psychologists, social workers, counselors, ambulance officers, tactile practitioners and movement therapists. Our courses have also proved valuable for professionals in related fields such as the ministerial and teaching professions, law, children’s welfare, midwifery, optometry, athletic coaching and artistic performance.

In addition the courses are valuable to those wishing to improve business skills, pursue personal therapy and pursue spiritual development.

Professional Employment

It is a proven fact that hypnotherapy produces desired changes 2 to 3 times faster than any other psychotherapy.  Undoubtedly this is because both the conscious and sub-conscious minds are recruited to the tasks in hand.  If you are already a therapist you can take advantage of this within your existing practice.

Hypnotherapy-psychotherapy has been cited by the Wall St Journal and by the Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the top 10 career choices.  You can earn a professional level income from our ICHP training by engaging in shared or private clinical practice addressing a wide variety of human needs.  ICHP training is “hands on” and gives you the practical clinical skills and confidence needed for private practice, in addition to the theoretical knowledge.

ICHP provides the actual scripts and printed protocols for the most popular and beneficial applications of hypnosis.  These have been “proofed” by over 100,000 clinical sessions.  No other Hypnotherapy college will provide you with these priceless tools for free!  A number of ICHP graduates have specialized in Substance abuse, weight loss and quit smoking programs and earn a substantial income from these practices alone.  Others have focused on stress management in the private and corporate sectors with great success.

 

Research

ICHP conducts and encourages, on-going scientific research into applications of Hypnotherapy-psychotherapy.  We constantly seek to enhance our knowledge of hypnotic techniques in a therapeutic context and seek to improve the efficacy of our practice.  ICHP graduates continue to produce highly effective methodologies for dealing with a variety of conditions that have proved difficult or simply intractable with more common psychotherapies.  We currently are conducting a random controlled study into the treatment of Depression and Anxiety with a Hypno-analytical technique which incorporates cognitive-behavioural therapy and transpersonal therapy.  Early indications on 67 clients are that a return to functionality is achieved more rapidly than in other conventional therapies and that, most importantly, relapse is virtually eliminated.
