If you’re thinking about training as a hypnotherapist, you might be wondering:
“What will I actually learn on the course?”
It’s a fair question—and a really important one. Because learning how to do hypnotherapy is only part of the story.
Yes, we’ll teach you how to guide someone into a hypnotic state.
But more importantly, you’ll learn how to find the real issue behind what a client is struggling with—because most of the time, the thing they think is the problem… isn’t actually the problem.
At Piece of Mind, we train students across Scotland with one thing in mind:
Teaching you the tools, techniques, and mindset to create powerful, lasting results for real clients.
Let’s explore what that actually looks like.
🔹 First, We Teach You How to Find the Real Problem
This is where most training courses fall short.
It’s easy enough to teach someone how to guide a relaxation process.
But real hypnotherapy is about so much more than helping someone feel calm.
It’s about finding out:
Why they can’t sleep
Why they keep self-sabotaging
Why they’re anxious in certain situations
Why their brain keeps repeating the same patterns
In the Piece of Mind training course, we show you how to uncover what’s really driving a client’s behaviour or emotion.
This is what we call in training:
“The thing is never the thing.”
It means that what the client presents with—whether it’s a fear, a habit, or anxiety—is usually just a surface symptom.
The real work starts when you learn to ask the right questions, dig deeper, and challenge the beliefs sitting underneath.
🔹 Hypnosis Techniques: From Relaxation to Rewiring
Yes, of course we teach you how to hypnotise someone.
You’ll learn:
How to guide a client into a trance state safely
What language patterns to use
How to deliver powerful suggestions
How to test and deepen the trance
How to bring someone back feeling confident and in control
But again, it’s not just about the trance.
We teach you how to use hypnosis with purpose—not just for surface-level relaxation, but to create deep change in how the brain stores and responds to emotional triggers.
🔹 NLP Techniques: Changing the Way the Brain Thinks
You’ll also learn the foundations of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)—a set of tools designed to help people shift thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours by working with how the brain codes experience.
Some of the things we cover include:
Reframing stuck patterns
Installing new empowering beliefs
Breaking emotional associations
Anchoring confidence and calmness into the body
These skills are incredibly useful when clients are caught in unhelpful loops of overthinking, self-doubt, or fear—and they combine seamlessly with hypnotherapy.
🔹 EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique): Tapping into Emotional Relief
Another skill we teach on the course is EFT, often referred to as “tapping.”
It’s a powerful technique that blends acupressure with psychology, helping the body release emotional blocks and calm the nervous system.
Here’s how EFT fits into the therapy process:
You help clients process emotion as they feel it
You calm the body and mind in real time
You reduce emotional reactivity quickly and safely
You give clients a tool they can use outside the therapy room
EFT is one of the most practical, easy-to-use techniques you can learn—and our students consistently tell us it’s one of their favourites.
🔹 Coaching Skills: Holding Space & Guiding Clients Forward
Hypnotherapy isn’t just about what you say in trance—it’s about the whole process:
How you welcome someone into a session
How you help them set a clear intention
How you guide them to insights and solutions
How you help them take action after the session is over
That’s why we also teach you core coaching skills, including:
Active listening
Reflective questioning
Goal setting and accountability
Holding space with confidence and clarity
These skills help you build trust, keep your sessions structured, and support your clients as they move forward in their lives.
🔹 How It All Comes Together: A Seamless, Flexible Approach
One of the things that makes our hypnotherapy training in Scotland so powerful is the way we teach you to combine all of these skills in real sessions.
It’s not about learning hypnosis over here, NLP over there, and EFT somewhere else.
We show you how to integrate them, naturally and intuitively, based on what your client needs in the moment.
So by the time you finish the course, you don’t just have a script and a technique—you have a toolkit.
A flexible, powerful way to help people create real change.
🔹 The Results: What Students Say They Gain Most
Our students often tell us they gain:
Confidence they never thought possible
A deeper understanding of people and emotion
Tools to help others and themselves in powerful ways
A complete transformation in how they communicate and connect
And whether you want to build a career or just learn something life-changing, these skills are something no one can take away from you.
