The LSCCH Practitioner Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy (PDCH) is your definitive gateway to an exciting and rewarding career as a qualified clinical hypnotherapist. Built on a philosophy of safe, ethical, and integrative practice, this comprehensive diploma guides adult learners through a progressive journey to transform passion into professional skill.

​

Diploma Structure - Three Key Parts:

The diploma is structured in three stages, each building logically upon the last:
 

1. Foundation in Clinical Hypnosis: Provides a strong introduction to core theories and essential skills, establishing your foundational understanding.
    

2. Advanced Certificate in Hypnosis and Behavioural Change: Builds upon the foundation (requires successful completion of the Foundation Certificate or approved course) to develop deeper proficiency in working with common behavioural issues and challenges over 3 modules and 5 months.
    

3. Specialist Certificate in Clinical Hypnotherapy: The culmination of your training journey (requires successful completion of the Advanced Certificate), where you master advanced psychotherapy and specialised techniques over 6 modules, preparing you for competent, qualified practice in complex areas.
    

Learning Experience & Delivery:
 

Throughout these stages, you benefit from practical, tried-and-tested tools directly applicable in the consulting room. Learning is delivered through a flexible blended approach combining online resources, live virtual interactions, and practical classroom sessions. You receive unparalleled support from expert lecturers who are practicing professionals and contributors to the field, alongside guidance from a personal tutor and clinical mentor.
