Start Your Journey: Master the Art & Science of Trance
he LSCCH UK Foundation Certificate is the first step towards becoming a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist.
​
Designed for complete beginners and career changers, this course moves beyond theory. It is a practical, hands-on training programme where you will learn the neurophysiology of the mind, the "Laws of Suggestion", and how to safely guide a client into a transformative state of trance.
​
The Outcome: By the end of this course, you will be able to induce hypnosis, manage the therapeutic environment safely, and treat stress-related issues.
The LSCCH UK Difference: Why Live Training Matters
A common question we receive is: "Can I just learn hypnosis from a video?"
​
While you can learn the theory from a book, you cannot learn the art of therapy without feedback. Hypnosis is a subtle skill. It involves reading a client's breathing, noticing micro-shifts in muscle tension, and modulating your voice tone in real-time.
-
Real-Time Feedback: In our live breakout rooms, a tutor watches you practise. They might say, "Slow down your pace," or "Watch the client's breathing." This immediate correction prevents bad habits from forming.
-
Safety First: You will learn how to handle "Abreactions" (emotional releases) and ensure the client is grounded.
-
Community: You are not learning in isolation. You are part of a cohort of like-minded students, practising on each other and building a professional network from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I open a private practice after this Foundation course?
No. This course gives you the skills to induce hypnosis, but to open a clinical practice, obtain insurance, and treat the public, you must complete the full Practitioner Diploma (Parts 1, 2, and 3). This foundation is your starting block.
​
I am already a Counsellor/Psychotherapist. Is this useful for me?
Absolutely. Many "talking therapists" take this single module to add relaxation and visualisation tools to their existing practice. You can immediately use these stress management techniques with your current clients.
​
Do I need a psychology degree to enrol?
No. We value life experience and empathy over academic history. If you have a desire to help others and the maturity to hold a therapeutic space, you are welcome to enrol.
