Accreditation
The

and Validated at Advanced Practitioner Level by the General
Hypnotherapy Standards Council (UK). On qualifying, Graduates
immediately benefit from the letters AdvDipH after their name,
signifying attainment of advanced level status. Graduates from this
course (who have already qualified at Practitioner status via a
course validated by the GHSC at Practitioner Level) are eligible for
professional registration with the General Hypnotherapy Register (the
GHSC’s Registering Agency) at Advanced Practitioner Level following
two years in practice.
Eligibility
Applicants
for this advanced course must have received a substantial amount of
live training as required for professional membership. They must
already be fully conversant with inducing, deepening, maintaining and
disengaging trance, hypnotic and posthypnotic suggestions.
They are likely to be practicing hypnotherapists who want to improve
and enhance their skills for the benefits of their clients or
practitioners who may have had time away from the Profession who wish
to re-engage with their learning.
Benefits
The Advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy will improve your knowledge and techniques and develop your critical and analytical thinking skills. It will also show you how to maximise success, deal with awkward situations/clients, expand your questioning techniques and develop you as a Reflective Practitioner.
Accountability
The
GHSC reserves the right to randomly sample homework portfolios from
accredited schools to check standards of student work and tutor
feedback. Schools will be given feedback and expected to implement
changes at the next available opportunity.
Learning
outcomes
The
following learning outcomes must be met (in any order).
Important
note: each
question or task in the homework portfolio must be accompanied by the
learning outcome/s that it substantiates. One neat method of doing
this is to place the learning outcome in a table just below the
question (an example is provided later).
REFLECTIVE
JOURNAL
Growing
as a hypnotherapist
Being
a reflective practitioner - reflecting back on our work, analysing
personal strengths and weakness, etc. Knowing when it is appropriate
to reflect and maintaining good work-life boundaries (i.e. not
over-reflecting).
Getting
the best from supervision.
How
to set up and run a peer group.
How
to work with complex presenting issues. Examples might include skin
disorders, working with grief, and tinnitus.
What
is a Reflective Learning Journal?
A
reflective journal is designed to help you think deeply about your
learning, especially on issues such as: your progress in learning,
the difficulties you encountered in the process of learning, the
strategies you have taken to get around those difficulties, and your
evaluation of your own performance.
What
can you get from writing reflective learning journal?
For
the study, writing a reflective learning journal helps you:
- bring together theory and practice,
- yield better understanding of the course material
For
your development as a successful and independent learner, it helps
you:
- See your strength and weakness as a learner
- Find out the methods of learning which suit your own learning style
- Notice how you can improve your learning in the future
- Gain a clearer picture of your learning progress and so in a better position to plan your learning
“I
don’t know what to write!”
5
tips on what to write in a journal entry:
- Start off with whatever in your mind about your learning experience in the course
- Describe the meaning of what you have learnt. Also, your reaction, feeling, opinions, views on both the learning process and the learnt material
- List the goods and the bad, the strengths and weaknesses you consider you demonstrate in the course of your learning
- Make advice for yourself and make a plan for your learning in the near future
“Now
I know what to put in the entry, but how should I write it?”
- Write in first person, as if you are writing a letter to a friend
- There is no right or wrong answer for a journal entry. Therefore, feel free to express your ideas, opinion, and thoughts
- Don’t hesitate to share your personal experience if that helps to illustrate your point
- Don’t limit yourself to words – diagrams and pictures are ok too
- Don’t be too intimidated by English rules. It’s okay to make minor grammatical errors if that does not interfer the transmission of ideas. So don’t put too much thought about how to write good English, instead spend more effort on what to write
REFLECTIVE
JOURNAL OF PRACTICE
Reflective
journal of practice - you are asked to reflect briefly on what
happened as you implemented advanced techniques and skills you have
learnt during your course. Please do this for at least one session
with two different clients ensuring you have used a different
technique/skill with each client. Learning outcomes 1.1 and 3.7 will
be covered here, possibly others too.
