About InsideOut Wellness Academy

Meet the people behind your clinical hypnotherapy training

We provide live online clinical hypnotherapy training for people starting a new career and practitioners developing their skills. Our tutors and coaches help you turn theory into practical skills through teaching, regular practice and feedback. Business and professional practice training help you prepare for the work that follows qualification.

Why we built the academy

We brought our experience in training, coaching and private practice together to create InsideOut Wellness Academy. We wanted students to have time to practise, ask questions and develop the judgement needed to adapt their approach to different clients.

We also know that qualifying is one part of starting a practice. Understanding how to communicate your services, handle enquiries and attract suitable clients matters too. That’s why business and marketing form part of our clinical hypnotherapy training.

What you can expect from us

Learning through practice

You’ll have opportunities to practise what you’re learning and receive constructive feedback. We help you understand what’s working and what to develop next.

Space to ask questions

We welcome questions and recognise that students bring different experiences and learning needs. You can ask for clarification and support as your skills develop.

Care for the individual

Every client brings their own circumstances, preferences and goals. We teach you to assess their needs and adapt your approach, with attention to consent and client choice.

Professional responsibility

Working responsibly includes understanding your boundaries and recognising when someone needs another service. These decisions form part of your development as a practitioner.

Meet your founders and tutors

Everyone who teaches, mentors or coaches on the programme works with clients of their own. Here is the full team you will be learning with.

How we support your learning

Live teaching

Learn directly with tutors in live online sessions. You can ask questions, discuss examples and explore how to apply what you’re learning.

Practical experience

Practise with fellow students as your skills develop. These sessions give you opportunities to apply techniques and adapt your approach before working with case study clients.

Constructive feedback

Our tutors and coaches observe your practice and give feedback on your developing skills. You’ll understand what’s working well and where further practice would help.

Support with your next steps

Your training includes business and marketing guidance to help you prepare for private practice. You can explore how to explain your services, set fees and respond to prospective clients.

Training with professional standards

Our Diploma combines practical training with assessment of your knowledge, skills and professional judgement. You’ll learn about consent, ethical practice and the boundaries of your role, including recognising when a client needs another service.

Your course fee includes two professional diploma pathways: the InsideOut Wellness Academy Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy, through our GHSC Practitioner Level accredited course, and the NCH Hypnotherapy in Practice Diploma, an NCFE-accredited customised qualification.

Successful graduates can apply for registration with the General Hypnotherapy Register and membership of the National Council for Hypnotherapy, subject to each organisation’s requirements.
