Third Online Hypnotherapy Training - October 2026
Your ability to help people could become more than something you simply give away. It could become your profession.
Perhaps you have always been the person people come to when life becomes difficult.
​
The friend who listens.
The person who somehow knows what to say.
The one people trust with their fears, relationships, emotions and deepest thoughts.
​
Perhaps you have always been fascinated by psychology, human behaviour, the subconscious mind or personal transformation.
​
Or perhaps you are already working with people—as a coach, therapist, psychologist, yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, retreat leader or wellness practitioner—and you know that there is a deeper level of transformation you would love to offer your clients.
​
This training was created for you.
​
After successfully graduating our first group in 2026, and with our second group now approaching graduation, I am delighted to open enrolment for the third Certified Hypnotherapist Training Programme, beginning 3 October 2026.
​
Our first cohort completed their practical examination and certification period in Bali between 28 March and 3 April 2026. Now, as our second cohort prepares to graduate, we are ready to welcome the next generation of practitioners.
This time, the programme will be delivered fully online, allowing you to study from anywhere in the world.

Who Is This Training For?​
​
You do not need a degree in psychology.
​
You do not need previous hypnotherapy experience.
​
And you do not need to already be working as a therapist.
​
You need curiosity about the human mind, a genuine desire to help people and a willingness to learn.
​
This programme may be perfect for you if you are:
-
A life coach who wants to take clients beyond conscious-level conversation
-
A psychologist, counsellor or therapist wanting to introduce another transformational modality into your work
-
A yoga or meditation teacher
-
A breathwork facilitator
-
A retreat facilitator or retreat leader
-
A holistic or wellness practitioner
-
A healer working with people emotionally, energetically or spiritually
-
Already running a wellness business and wanting to expand the services you offer
-
Considering a completely new career
-
Looking for an additional source of income alongside your existing work
-
Passionate about psychology, subconscious reprogramming and personal development
-
Someone who has always naturally supported other people
-
The person friends and family constantly come to for advice
-
Someone who knows they have an ability to help people but has never considered turning that ability into a profession
​
Perhaps you have spent years giving your time, advice, emotional support and energy freely.
​
People already trust you.
​
Now imagine having the professional skills and structure to turn that natural ability into meaningful, transformational work—and to be paid for the value you provide.
Eight Weeks That Can Change the Direction of Your Life
The third training begins:
Saturday, 3 October 2026
The core programme runs for eight weeks, with one live online teaching session every Saturday.
​
Live Saturday Training Dates
Week 1 — 3 October
Week 2 — 10 October
Week 3 — 17 October
Week 4 — 24 October
Week 5 — 31 October
Week 6 — 7 November
Week 7 — 14 November
Week 8 — 21 November
Each Saturday session will be approximately two hours online.
Your presence live is highly encouraged because being together allows you to ask questions, practise, observe, interact and grow alongside your group.
However, this programme has also been created with real life in mind.
​
We understand that you may have work commitments, family occasions, birthdays, travel or unexpected circumstances. If there is a Saturday you genuinely cannot attend live, you will be able to continue with the material and catch up in your own time.
You are supported by structure—but you are also given flexibility.
​
All live classes, masterclasses, and training sessions are recorded and made available to you on our training platform, so you can revisit the material and continue learning at a time that is convenient for you.
Five-Day Online Intensive
After completing the eight-week teaching programme, we move directly into the practical intensive.
​
Intensive Training
​
22–26 November 2026
​
Five consecutive days devoted to integration, practical work, supervised practice and preparing you to confidently work with real clients.
​
This is where everything you have learned begins to come together.
You move from understanding hypnotherapy to actually becoming the practitioner.
You Will Learn How to Work With the Subconscious Mind
Throughout the programme, you will learn how to confidently guide a client through a hypnotherapy session and understand what is happening beneath the surface of their conscious thoughts and behaviours.
​
You will learn how to identify and work with:
​
-
Limiting beliefs
-
Childhood conditioning
-
Emotional triggers
-
Repeating behavioural patterns
-
Fear and anxiety patterns
-
Lack of confidence
-
Low self-worth
-
Relationship patterns
-
Emotional blocks
-
Self-sabotaging behaviours
-
Subconscious associations
-
Beliefs formed through earlier experiences
-
Patterns that keep a person repeating the same reality despite consciously wanting something different
​
Most importantly, you will learn how to listen beyond a client's words.
​
A skilled hypnotherapist does not simply read a script.
​
You learn how to observe.
​
How to hear what is underneath what somebody is saying.
​
How to recognise emotional shifts.
​
How to ask the right question at the right moment.
​
How to follow the individual rather than force the individual into a formula.
​
And how to guide someone through a deeply personal process safely, confidently and professionally.
​
​​
​
​
Heal the Healer
​
There is another essential part of this programme.
​
Before we ask you to guide others, we work with you.
​
We call this part of the training Heal the Healer.
​
Because becoming a great practitioner is not only about collecting techniques.
​
It is also about understanding yourself.
​
During the training, you will begin recognising your own:
​
-
Emotional triggers
-
Limiting beliefs
-
Childhood patterns
-
Relationship patterns
-
Protective behaviours
-
Fears
-
Self-worth patterns
-
Habits and unconscious reactions
​
You will learn to observe your own subconscious programming and begin changing it.
​
You will experience the work you are eventually going to facilitate for others.
​
You may find yourself becoming more confident.
​
More aware.
​
More emotionally resilient.
​
More comfortable with boundaries.
​
More conscious of why you behave in certain ways.
​
And increasingly able to recognise a pattern while it is happening and work with yourself instead of simply reacting to it.
​
We want to train practitioners who have done the work—not practitioners who only know the theory.
Because your own transformation becomes part of your wisdom as a therapist.
​​
​
A Profession Built Around Human Connection​
We are living through a period of enormous technological change.
​
Perhaps you have seen the headlines:
​
“AI will replace your job.”
​
Perhaps it has even made you question which careers will remain valuable in the future.
​
Technology will undoubtedly continue to transform the way many professions operate.
​
But deeply human therapeutic work depends on something technology cannot simply reduce to information: relationship, trust, presence, emotional attunement, intuition, observation, ethical judgement and the ability to respond to another human being in real time.
​
Hypnotherapy is not simply giving somebody information.
​
It is being present with a person while they explore experiences, emotions and beliefs that may have shaped their entire life.
​
A skilled practitioner notices hesitation.
​
A shift in expression.
​
A change in breathing.
​
A word suddenly charged with emotion.
​
A moment when a client needs another question instead of the one you expected to ask.
​
AI may become a useful tool around many professions.
​
But the ability to create genuine human connection while helping another person through emotional transformation makes hypnotherapy a particularly human-centred and AI-resilient career path.
​​
​
​
​
Turn Your Ability to Help Into a Career
​
Hypnotherapy can become your primary profession.
​
It can complement the business you already have.
​
Or it can become an additional source of income alongside another career.
​
During approximately seven years of my own practice, I have encountered hypnotherapists charging anywhere from approximately:
​
£300 per private session — around €350
to
£1,500 per private session — around €1,750
​
There is no prescribed amount you must charge.
​
Your prices will ultimately depend on your experience, market, positioning, location, programme structure and the value you decide to create.
​
There are also no guarantees around income or client numbers
But this gives you an understanding of the commercial potential of the skill you are learning.
​
Some students from our training have already begun attracting clients before completing their certification, with some reaching up to five bookings as they approached graduation.
​
Imagine completing your training not only with knowledge—but already beginning to see how this new skill can become part of your professional life.
Your Training Can Pay for Itself
The investment into the programme is:
________________________________
Early Bird Investment
€3,500
Full Investment
€3,999
_______________________
When you look at hypnotherapy as a professional skill rather than simply another course, the economics begin to look very different.
At approximately €350 per session, for example, around ten paid sessions could represent €3,500 in revenue.
At higher professional fees, that investment may potentially be recovered with considerably fewer clients.
This is not a promise of earnings—building any professional practice requires commitment, experience, visibility and client trust.
But once the skill is yours, you have something you can continue using throughout your career.
You are not buying eight weeks of information.
You are investing in a professional skill.


Graduate as a Certified Hypnotherapist
The Victoria Holmes Hypnotherapy Academy Ltd – CERTIFIED HYPNOTHERAPIST TRAINING PROGRAMME is officially listed as an approved course by the International Hypnosis Association (IHA).
​
The International Hypnosis Association independently reviews approved programmes according to areas including training content, student competency evaluation and ethics. Graduates of IHA-approved courses can qualify to apply for IHA membership and professional certification.
Upon successfully completing the Academy training and its assessment requirements, you will graduate with your Certified Hypnotherapist Training Programme diploma/certificate from Victoria Holmes Hypnotherapy Academy Ltd, giving you a professional qualification that reflects the training you have completed.
What Could Change in Eight Weeks?
You may enter the programme because you want another qualification.
​
You may leave seeing yourself completely differently.
​
Perhaps you begin as a yoga teacher and leave knowing you can now offer individual transformational sessions.
​
Perhaps you already coach people but finally have a tool that helps you work beyond the conscious mind.
​
Perhaps you are successful in one profession but know that your heart is pulling you towards more meaningful work.
​
Perhaps you simply know:
“I am meant to work with people.”
​
And perhaps you have known that for years.
​
This could be the moment when the person who has always helped everyone else finally learns how to make that gift part of their life's work.
