Frequently asked questions
What qualifications do you need to become a Clinical Hypnotherapist?
If you're looking to become a professional hypnotherapist, you need to complete at least 450 hours of training on a course which is accredited by a regulatory body, such as the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council. (Click here for a list of accredited trainers.)
The course must include at least 120 hours of face-to-face tuition with an experienced trainer to ensure that you can become accredited and obtain professional insurance. Choose a provider that talks to you in person before taking any fees.
How long does it take to become a Hypnotherapist?
As long as training courses meet the above criteria, they may be full-time & intensive or part-time and spread over several months, or anything in-between!
We believe that it is better to train over 9 months so that you keep the momentum whilst leaving plenty of time to study & absorb information, and practice your new skills on friends and family!
How much do Hypnotherapists earn?
Hypnotherapists' fees vary according to their level of specialism and expertise, and where they are based (overheads - especially rent - can vary greatly).
Hourly rates may be anything from £40 - £100, so if you charge £60 per hour and have 15 clients a week you'd earn £43 200 pa based on working 48 weeks a year.
Of course, if you want to work/charge more, or less, to fit in with your goals and lifestyle, that's entirely up to you!
