New Career Opportunities

Due to the highly vocational nature of the clinical hypnosis course, successful students will have the opportunity to set up private practice as clinical hypnotherapists. With the ever increasing demand from the general public for effective psychological treatment there is a growing need for skilled and ethically trained hypnotherapists.

Eligible hypnotherapists can also gain referrals from healthcare professionals and in addition private health care providers may be willing to cover the cost of such treatment. Some students may find new career opportunities within established healthcare clinics and qualified individuals on a voluntary and professional basis within the NHS. Other successful students choose to implement these profound hypnotic skills within their existing profession.

"The BST Foundation's clinical hypnotherapy training programme has been mapped to the Skills for Health (SfH) National Occupational Standards (NOS)for hypnptherapy. SfH is the Sector Skills Council (SSC) for the UK health sector. The 25 Sector Skills Councils which make up the Skills for Business Network are licensed by the Secretary of State for Education and Skills in consultation with Ministers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Sector Skills Councils are supported and monitored by the Sector Skills Development Agency."
