Medical Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy (MDCH)
The Premier Evidence-Based Training for Medical & Allied Health Professionals
Integrate Clinical Hypnosis into Your Medical Practice
Modern medical practice faces unprecedented challenges: time constraints, "heart-sink" patients with unexplained symptoms, and a growing demand for non-pharmacological interventions.​
The LSCCH UK Medical Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy (MDCH) is a specialist qualification designed exclusively for Doctors, Dentists, and Allied Health Professionals.​ We equip you with the clinical protocols to manage psychosomatic conditions, chronic pain, and anxiety disorders safely and effectively.
Move beyond "coping mechanisms" and offer your patients a powerful, neuro-physiological tool for change.
​​​
Accredited and recognised by the British Society of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Integrative Psychotherapy (BSCHIP), and the International Alliance of Clinical Hypnotherapist and Integrative Psychotherapist (IACHIP).
