Success Stories

This course more than met my expectations, helped me personally, helped me achieve many, many goals. (It) ranks amongst the 3 best things I’ve ever done in my life. The other 2 were to marry my wife and the birth of our son. (My) only regret… is that it took me so long to get around to doing it!
The three best things about Alpha’s hypnotherapy training course were…
The logical sequence – being guided through step by step, building on what we had learnt
- Pace (of learning) was absolutely perfect.
- Having all the information provided in multiple formats (handouts, audio CDs, demonstrations, practical exercises, etc) really reinforced the learning.
What was most useful were “learning the variety of techniques and their application, the chance to practise, practise, practise, and the hypnosis sessions at the start of each day enabled me to learn everything at an incredible speed.”
This course has provided me with the most enjoyable weeks of my life! I have studied hard, and worked long and hard with reading, homework and practise, and yet I feel as if I’ve been on an amazing holiday, full of wonders and totally relaxed. Absolutely brilliant!!”
In all the courses I have attended during my nursing career, both in the UK and in NZ, I never learned as much about the true art of communication as I did in Alpha Hypnosis Training Advanced Diploma of Hypnotherapy Course.
The course has definitely helped me personally. When I attended the first modules for example, each night I would get home absolutely buzzing with excitement, eager to let my wife know what I had learned during the day. Anne has seen me grow disillusioned with many jobs over the years, and has also known how much I had always wanted to learn hypnotherapy. She told me that I have never been as enthusiastic or as energised by anything before. I carried that energy forward into the Advanced Diploma Course too, and it would be true to say that I just can’t get enough of everything about hypnotherapy to satisfy my curiosity right now. During the course I met great people and made some developing friendships.
The course more than met my expectations. I have been on many courses, only some of which delivered what was advertised. This course delivered far more than that – this course has changed the direction and focus of my life. I am so much happier and more positive now that my future lies in hypnotherapy, and I think that I am easier to live with too, because of that.
The quality of the handouts is very high. I loved the demonstrations, particularly when I could be the client, which was often.
The course has helped me achieve many, many of my goals. I gave and received a lot of therapy (during the classes) and let’s face it, we all need to do both at times. In one session I was able to be regressed and to remember my mother’s face when she was alive, which was a truly special moment for me. Both my phobias about strawberries and ladders have gone, so now can not only can I eat strawberries again, but I could probably do it from the top of a ladder too if I wanted to! My life is continuing to change too – I have been seeing clients for my case studies since November (even during the evenings of the Advanced Course), I have spent a lifetime working for people as a nurse, but now I can spend the rest of my life working with people, for me, in hypnotherapy.
(Next year) I will be turning professional and opening a hypnotherapy clinic of my own. This is a huge step for me, flying solo for the first time ever, and I could not have taken it without the great training I received from Roger, plus the support of my wife and my fellow hypnotherapy students.
What I most enjoyed… two things stand out as – hypnotising and being hypnotised. Firstly, I knew that I could be hypnotised, in fact I believe that anyone can, under the right circumstances. But I had never realised how highly suggestible and easily hypnotisable I was. I went into hypnosis so quickly and so deeply that at times I nearly fell out of the chair – literally! But what a fantastic feeling to be so deeply relaxed. I love the feeling of being hypnotised, and I think that’s why I was always racing to the chair whenever the opportunity arose. Secondly, and without trying to sound too kinky about this, I never realised what a fantastic, high feeling it would give me to relax someone into hypnosis – what a turn on! And then, when they make the changes they wanted, well that’s just a moment of pure magic!
I definitely received value for money! At present finances are tight and I probably could not really afford to do the course. But, in my view finances would always have remained tight if I did not change my career path. So in effect this was a course which I could not afford to not do. I have invested to save, and would advise others to do the same, for the sake of their own future happiness. This is a great, value for money course.
