Hypnotherapy Courses & Training Australia

 My journey into clinical hypnosis began nine years ago when I attended a weekend workshop with a work colleague. As mental health clinicians we were both interested in finding out more about hypnosis and its clinical application. After the workshop we both decided to sign up for the certificate course in what’s commonly referred to as traditional hypnosis methods. The traditional course was very interesting and I continued on to complete the diploma certification which took around 18 months altogether. Whilst the course was interesting, the traditional hypnosis aspect never felt completely comfortable to me. Much of the process was quite directive and challenged my values as a mental health therapist. I didn’t really take off as a private hypnotherapist during that time and looking back I can see that the gap between my therapeutic values ad the traditional model was too wide to transcend for me as a therapist. A few years later I was given the amazing opportunity to enroll in a diploma in clinical hypnosis and strategic psychotherapy. The whole course was based on a solution focused model which was perfectly in sync with my social work therapy background. The utilization aspect of the course was very strengths based and I felt very comfortable using this in my everyday work with clients. The whole premise of modern clinical hypnosis is very respectful and empowering for clients. Since completing this course I have fully transitioned into private practice. The application of this strengths-based model of hypnosis is so effective in helping people. Experts like Michael Yapko have written many books on the subject in relation to the application of clinical hypnosis for mental health disorders such as depression. Lisa is an ardent follower of Yapko and has personally trained extensively with him. Lisa Webber was the facilitator in my last diploma course. I would highly recommend her course to anyone wanting modern hypnosis training.

As a Human Resource Director I decided coaching was a skill that would help me in my job.  And it did. I found it to be invaluable to help my clients gain clarity, make decisions and feel more in control of their work and home life. BUT, there were some who on a conscious level knew what they wanted, knew why they weren't changing but just couldn't change. They knew - nothing changed- and they didn't know how to make the change on a non-conscious level. Fortunately, I met another coach who told me she had been having the same issue and had taken a short course in Milton Erikson hypnosis techniques and was using it to embed the insights her clients were having. I was hooked. I did a short course in hypnosis and realised rather quickly that it wasn't enough.  And so I studied a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Strategic Psychotherapy. What a difference to my coaching therapy.  My clients still have complete control over where they want the coaching and therapy to take them, and for those that really want to embed the change they want to make, hypnosis does that and helps my clients make the changes they really want. I have loved using strategic psychotherapy and the continuing learning journey it takes you on.  And even better, after the formal education, the continuing supervision (both group and individual) maintains the freshness of it all. I couldn't recommend this to you highly enough.

I could not recommend Lisa Webber highly enough. Lisa has a genuine interest in you as a person and in bringing the best out of you as a strategic hypnotherapist.
Her aim is not only to assist in your passing but also in surpassing the benchmark. Her training with one of the most remarkable therapists of our time, Michael Yapko, shines through in her delivery and instruction.
I count myself fortunate to have had her as my teacher.

I cannot recommend being trained and mentored by Lisa enough. In the past struggled I have really with formal education. Lisa went above and beyond to help me with my studies and allowed me the space to work out what I needed to. Her encouragement, constant support, vast knowledge really helped me to achieve my Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy.
