Distance Learning Hypnotherapy Training

Train at your own pace. Build real skills. Start changing lives.

You don’t need to sit in a classroom or even log onto Zoom to become a great hypnotherapist.

Our distance learning course is ideal if you need full flexibility. You get everything you need to train in your own time, at your own pace, from anywhere in the world, with real guidance and support built in.

This course is ACCPH accredited and provides a strong foundation for progressing to our live Diploma course (subject to assessment).

What Makes This Course Different?
We’re not here to hand you a certificate and send you on your way.

We care about helping you become a capable, confident, and client-ready hypnotherapist, whether you’re just starting out, changing careers, or adding new skills to your current work.

Self-paced training with no schedules or pressure
Clear, structured modules with real-world techniques
Support via email if you get stuck or need help
ACCPH Accredited
Optional upgrade path to our live Diploma training
Affordable pricing with flexible payment options

Who Is It For?

This distance learning option is ideal if:

  • You prefer learning in your own time on your own schedule
  • You can’t travel or attend live training right now
  • You want to build real skills, not just tick boxes
  • You’re committed to doing the work and learning properly
  • You’re exploring hypnotherapy but not ready for live training just yet

What You’ll Learn

You’ll learn practical, proven techniques to help clients with:

  • Anxiety, stress, panic, low confidence
  • Habits like smoking, nail biting, sleep problems
  • Inner conflict, self-doubt and unhelpful thinking
  • Goal setting, mindset work and behavioural change

The course covers foundational hypnotherapy methods, suggestibility testing, induction techniques, deepeners, ego-strengthening, and how to structure a full session.

You’ll also be guided through practice exercises and reflection tasks so you can build your skills with confidence.

What Happens After the Course?

Once you’ve completed your distance learning course, you’ll have the option to:

  • Join our live Diploma course (subject to an assessment to ensure you’ve reached the required training level)
  • Start working with practice clients
    Join a growing community of like-minded therapists
  • This is a starting point, not the end. And we’ll help you decide what’s next based on your goals and progress.

Let’s Be Honest…

Not all online training is created equal.

A lot of distance learning courses make big promises but don’t teach you much you can actually use.

This one is different. It’s straight-talking, practical, and focused on what actually works.

You’ll learn at your own pace, but you won’t be left figuring it all out alone.

Ian Young

Ian Young

Training & Development

Tagline: Grounded, real and genuinely hard to forget.

Ian is an experienced therapist whose work spans trauma, addiction, anxiety and recovery. His approach is shaped as much by lived experience as by professional training and that combination makes him exceptionally relatable to the people he works with.

People who’ve worked with Ian consistently say the same thing — he gets it in a way that goes beyond what most trainers can offer. He doesn’t just understand the subject. He understands people.

Within Piece of Mind Training, Ian also plays a key role in business and strategic development, bringing a practical, grounded perspective to how the organisation grows and evolves.

David

David Gowans

Training & Development

Tagline: He’s seen mental health crisis at its most acute. And he knows what actually helps.

David’s background is probably unlike anyone else you’ll meet in a mental health training room.

Twenty-three years on the frontline of emergency services first as a police officer, now as an HCPC-registered practising paramedic. He hasn’t studied stress, trauma and burnout from a distance. He’s carried them, in uniform, responding to people at the absolute worst moments of their lives. He understands the culture that makes asking for help feel like the hardest thing in the world because he’s lived inside that culture.

That frontline experience sits alongside his clinical practice as a qualified hypnotherapist and accredited EFT practitioner. David works with real people navigating real challenges every single week. What he brings to Piece of Mind Training isn’t theoretical. It’s current, grounded and built entirely from the inside out.

As part of the team, David delivers training, practises as a therapist and plays a key role in the development and direction of the organisation making sure that everything Piece of Mind produces is professionally rigorous and genuinely human.

David is responsible for development and ensures that Piece of Mind Training programmes are grounded in real-world application. Not what the textbook says should happen. What actually works when it matters.

Iona

Iona Russell

Growth & Partnerships

Tagline: She’s written the book. Literally.

Iona has spent more than twenty years working at the intersection of human potential and real-world impact — across psychology, coaching, education, broadcasting, the charitable sector and social policy, in both the UK and the USA.

She is a Master Positive Psychology Coach and twice bestselling author who has supported hundreds of people through coaching qualifications and worked alongside some of the most respected names in positive psychology and personal development. As a keynote speaker and leadership advisor, she helps organisations rethink what success and human flourishing actually look like.

But what drives Iona’s commitment to mental health work goes deeper than her professional background. She lost her brother to suicide. That experience — and everything it taught her about the gap between what people are going through and the support available to them — shapes everything she brings to Piece of Mind Training.

At Piece of Mind, Iona leads our partnerships, builds community impact and drives our growth across Scotland and beyond. She brings commercial insight, deep human understanding and a personal reason for being here that no CV can fully capture.

Ann

Ann Stewart

Head of Training

Tagline: The person who makes sure the learning delivers every time.

Ann has spent her career helping people make sense of the things that are weighing on them and finding a way forward when everything feels tough.

Her background is genuinely rare. A qualified teacher, certified hypnotherapist, coach and First Aid for Mental Health practitioner, Ann brings together an understanding of how people learn with a deep, practical knowledge of how people struggle. She still works directly with adults and young people every week supporting those experiencing anxiety, low confidence, emotional distress and the kind of quiet difficulties that don’t always have a name but make everyday life feel impossibly hard.

As a trainer, Ann knows that the best mental health training doesn’t just inform people, it changes how they see themselves and the people around them. She brings that belief into every session she delivers, whether she’s working with a room full of HR professionals or a team who’ve never talked about mental health at work before.

As a therapist, trainer, teacher and mum of three, Ann understands that most people are dealing with far more than anyone around them realises. That understanding is the foundation of everything she does.

At Piece of Mind Training, Ann leads on training quality and consistency, making sure that what we promise is what every learner experiences, every time.

Andy Griffiths

Andy Griffiths

Founder

Tagline: The man who built this because he needed it himself.

Qualifications include:

Clinical Hypnotherapy

NLP

Psychotherapy

CBT Coaching

Trauma-Informed Practice.

Andy is a practising therapist, clinical hypnotherapist and the founder of Piece of Mind Training. He’s spent over a decade working with clients across anxiety, trauma, panic disorder and complex mental health presentations not as a theorist, but as someone who has experienced many of these challenges himself.

His personal journey through mental health struggles, panic disorder and years of pretending everything was fine is the reason Piece of Mind Training exists. He built what he wished had existed when he needed it most.

As a trainer, Andy is known for his directness, his warmth and his ability to make people feel genuinely seen. He doesn’t stand behind a slide deck and talk at people. He brings the subject into the room.
