PART 1 - Career Guide

Why Are Savvy People Becoming Professional Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis Practitioners?!7 Great Reasons … !Before we get into the “How?”, we need to look at the “Why?” - Why, become a hypnotherapist or hypnotherapy and hypnosis practitioner? !If you like the idea of helping people live a healthier and more balanced

life, hypnotherapy can be a very rewarding career. Professional

Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis Practitioners use a mixture of standard

therapy and hypnosis to work with clients to bring about a change in

behaviour or way of thinking, allowing people to overcome a wide range

of conditions such as depression, stress, anxiety & addictions, as well as

break old habits, provide natural pain relief or increase performance in

sports and business.

There is a growing demand for Professional Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis

Practitioners from the general public plus increasing referrals from GPs

and private health insurers. There are opportunities for work in a variety

of settings including private hospitals and clinics, sports, business and

private practice and lots of savvy people are keen to retrain to take

advantage of the opportunities available.

Here are a 7 great reasons that may tempt you to pursue becoming

a successful Hypnotherapy Practitioner:

1. Enormously Rewarding Career

!5

!Working as a Professional Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis Practitioner is

extremely rewarding. Clients will often initially come to you as a last

resort after they have tried everything else, including doctors, medicine,

psychiatrists, counselling, psychotherapy, CBT and more.

It is an amazing experience to be the one who finally helps someone

change or overcome a challenging situation and creating “miracles on

demand” is part of daily life for most hypnotherapists.

Sometimes it is easy, sometimes it can be challenging – but when

those, “Thank you – you changed my life”, messages come in and you

hear the stories of how people have overcome great difficulties with your

help, and solved problems that previously seemed insurmountable, you

feel enormous job satisfaction.

!

2. High Level Income Potential

!Hypnotherapists are usually self-employed and so set their own pay

rates. Typically this is by the hour or day and actual rates vary

considerably depending upon experience, location and the type of

clients you are working with.

Typical hourly rates are in the region of £50 to £150 per hour but can be

£250+ per hour for specialist treatments.

!6

As with any business, it takes time to get established and it is important

to make adequate financial planning, but start-up costs are fairly low and

can be scaled as the business grows.

It is possible to start earning even whilst still a student, but it will typically

take at least 3 – 6 months to build a regular income. However, the

opportunities and possibilities are there for anyone willing to put the work

in and do what is required. Detailed examples of income are given later

in this report.

!

3. Set Your Own Hours !As a self-employed Hypnotherapy Practitioner there is no boss who

will dictate what time you need to come and go from your

workplace so you can set your own hours and meet your clients

according to your own preference and availability. Whether you wish to

see clients in the evenings, at weekends, part-time 1 or 2 days a week

an hour or so here and there whilst any children are at school; or

whether you wish to build a full-time career, the hours are up to you.

Many people also choose hypnotherapy as a career later in life to fit in

with retirement and the flexible hours come in handy there too.

!4. Start Helping People Fast !

!7

Professional Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis Practitioner training can usually

shorten the time between now and when you can start helping others.

You can actually get qualified, start practicing and earning money in

months rather than years. (You can do it even quicker but we do not

usually recommend that).

Why so fast? Because the methods used are powerful and direct, and

enable you to learn quickly & effectively. There is generally no padding

and a good training is geared around helping you gain real practical

knowledge and real practical experience.

When people who have been on counselling or psychotherapy courses

discover the results that hypnotherapy students achieve and in such a

short space of time, they are often saddened that they spent so many

years in their previous studies. (Similarly with students from some other

hypnotherapy courses).

A good training will ensure that every minute is dedicated to giving you

what you need to get the skills, knowledge and experience to become a

successful, confident Professional Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis

Practitioner but without the usual lengthy years of study.

!5. New Career At Fraction Of The Cost

!Although cost should not be the primary factor when choosing, it is good

to know that many people recoup their investment within the first 3 - 6

months of practice.

!8

There are some start-up costs to consider on top of the training, such as

room rental & advertising, but these can be kept small and scaled as

your business grows.

Professional Hypnotherapy training fees are a low-risk investment for the

gains available – would you like a more flexible and rewarding career at

an affordable price in a relatively short period of time?

!

6. Always Work Available !Economies may rise and fall but people always need help so there is

always work available.

Of course setting up and running a business to get that work is not easy

– if it was, everyone would do it – and being self-employed can take

some adjustment if you are used to being employed with a regular salary

landing in your bank account each month, so some good financial

planning is required.

But it is very doable and once you master the art of attracting new clients

and master the skills required to get results for those clients, your

services become in great demand and, with time, a steady stream of

clients (and income) follows.

Anywhere there are people, or you have access to people, there is work

available for you (even via Skype nowadays).

!

7. You Get To Experience Amazing Hypnotic Phenomena & Mini-Miracles Daily - On Yourself As Well As Others.

!The stutterer suddenly being able to speak fluently; a 20-year eating

disorder disappearing overnight; a sexual problem being finally resolved,

saving an otherwise happy and loving marriage.

The human mind is amazing and as a Professional Hypnotherapy &

Hypnosis Practitioner you get to witness and experience it’s power first

hand every day. No longer do you need to feel helpless in critical

situations in people’s lives – including friends and family – now you get

to be a part of the solution.

From those suffering with illness to those with anxiety or poor

performance, you get a chance to make an enormous impact. Once you

experience hypnotic phenomena first hand, you will never think about life

in the same way again. Fascinating, exciting and extremely rewarding.

Plus, you can use all these methods on yourself and many people

study hypnotherapy and hypnosis for this purpose alone.

What Sort Of Areas Can You Work In As A

Hypnotherapy Practitioner?

The areas in which you can work as a Professional Hypnotherapy &

Hypnosis Practitioner are many and varied but here are some of the

most common ones:

Fears & Phobias Stress & Anxiety

Childhood Trauma PTSD

Sports Performance Business Success

Past Life Regression Children's Problems

Speech (Stuttering & Stammering) Public Speaking

Pain Relief Sexual Problems

Eating Disorders Pregnancy & Childbirth

Motivation Exams Nerves

Memory & Concentration Relationships

Alcohol Addiction Insomnia

Panic Attacks Smoking

Habits (Nail Biting, Hair Pulling, etc) Weight Loss

… and more. Any situation in which someone’s thoughts and feelings are

influencing their behaviour, you will usually be able to help.

!11

As A Career, What Sort Of Income Can You Expect

To Earn?

This really varies from person to person but let’s look at a few examples

for illustration purposes only.

[PLEASE NOTE: These are not promises or guarantees of income, just

examples of what some people do. You can earn a good income as a

Professional Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis Practitioner - but it does take

work and effort and you have to follow some kind of proven plan like the

one I am giving you here, in order to get the top results.]

Example 1: Stay at home parent who sees 2 clients a day 3 days

a week while the children are at school.

Example 2: Full-time employee who can only see clients a few

evenings and weekends.

Example 3: Retired or part-time worker who sees clients 2 full

days a week.

Example 4: Full-time practitioner working 5 days a week.

!12

!

!

Example 1: Stay at home parent who sees 2 clients a day, 3 days a

week while the children are at school.

2 clients per day for 3 days a week = 6 client hours per week = approx

24 client hours per month.

@ £50 per hour = monthly income of £1200 for 6 hrs a week.


Example 2: Full-time employee who can only see clients a few

evenings and weekends.

3 evenings @ 2 clients per evening = 6 client hours per week plus 4

clients at the weekend = 10 client hours per week = approx 40 client

hours per month.



!13

!!

Obviously this will vary from person to person, and location to location

and there will be some outgoings but these can be kept to a minimum,

especially when you start.

!

Example 3: Retired or part-time worker who sees clients 2 full

days a week.

3 clients in the morning plus 3 clients in the afternoon x 2 days per

week = 12 client hours per week = approximately 48 client hours per

month.

@ £50 per hour = monthly income of £2400 for 2 days a week.


Example 4: Full-time practitioner working 5 days a week.

3 clients in the morning plus 3 clients in the afternoon = 6 client hours

per day x 5 days a week = 30 client hours per week = approximately

120 client hours per month.



!14

=> Now, if you are keen to learn Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis for

personal interest or personal development only, that’s fine, many

people do just that.

But if you DO want to make an income from this, then in the next

section you will discover …

!!

!15

Different Ways You Can Work & Get Paid

With the knowledge gained from the Professional Hypnotherapy &

Hypnosis Practitioner Diploma training you will have many different

opportunities available to you for working as a hypnotherapist and

getting paid well for it. Here are some of the most common ones.

General Practice - You have a room (or rooms) where clients and

patients come to see you as they would a G.P. for a variety of

issues, as detailed earlier. Some people like to see all of their

clients in one location - others may have different practices in

different locations, to cover a wider catchment area.

Specialising - You choose a niche area and establish yourself as

the expert in that field. You then become the ‘go to’ person for

helping with those kind of problems. (This can be a very rapid way

of launching your business, as the more specific your area, the

more cost effective the marketing and promotion).

Coaching (Hypno-coaching) - Instead of just advising clients of

the lifestyle choices they need to make, imagine how much more

effective you will be as a coach using your Hypnotherapy

Practitioner skills to help the clients make those changes at the

inner level as well.

Life-coaching has taken off considerably over the past few years -

Hypno-coaching is the natural evolution in this and will be the next

big thing so there is an opportunity to get in now and establish

yourself at the start.

!16

Skype - With increasing internet reliability you now don't even

need to be in the same room as your client or customer. You can

do Skype Hypnosis Sessions to virtually anywhere in the world.

Clients pre-pay by card or wire and you communicate through the

free Skype system.

How to run Skype Hypnotherapy sessions should be part of any

good training nowadays.

Groups - As a Professional Hypnotherapy Practitioner you are not

tied to one client per hour with an hourly fee. You can use the

same information to run group sessions. With weight loss, for

example, this may be 3 or 4 friends who all want to make changes

and so you see them together; or it could be a monthly ongoing

arrangement with 20 or 30 people coming to a weekly weight loss

class paying a small weekly fee of £10 or so.

Workshops - The knowledge you will gain can also be used to run

workshops such as self-hypnosis and self-improvement. E.g. 10

people @ £95 for a days Self-Hypnosis Training = £950 less £100

or so expenses = £850 for a days work.

If you can fit those around your current schedule or add into your

Hypnotherapy Practice, it is a great income boost and they are fun

too.

Products - Did you know you can publish your own Kindle book

on Amazon in about 10 minutes? Or you can record CD’s and

have Amazon sell them for you - all over the world? Or you can sell

your own Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis CD’s on your own website?

!17

Or offer mp3 Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis downloads (which cost

you nothing?). Or sell them direct to clients? Or sell them at your

workshops, or group meetings?

The information and knowledge you gain on a Professional

Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis Practitioner Diploma can be converted

into a variety of products - CD’s, Mp3’s, DVD’s, E-Book’s, Physical

Books & more, each adding to your reputation (and income of

course).

Please don’t feel you have to do any of these, and it is perfectly OK to

aim for just 2 or 3 clients a week when you first start out, or even no

clients if this is just for personal interest. But I just want to make you

aware of the opportunities available to you.

But to make all of this work for you, you need …

The Career Success Plan

If you wish to be a successful hypnotherapist, whether for personal interest, personal development, or new career, you need a Career Success Plan. !Here at PHHT we encourage all our students to make a Career Success Plan as part of their training - whether they intend to set up in practice or not - and we even dedicate time to it as an essential core element of your learning with us. !Here is an overview of the Career Success Plan we teach for those wishing to pursue a career in Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis. !

1. Get The Right Training 2. Decide Your Starting Niche 3. Choose A Work Location. 4. Get A Customer Orientated Website 5. Spread The Word. 6. Deliver Great Customer Value 7. Get Paid Well 8. Reinvest A Percentage Of Income To SomeTo Spread The Word

Further. 9. Expand & Repeat 6 ,7 & 8.

!!1. Get The Right Training !Different people seem to have very different definitions of what “the right training” is and many will tell you with a religious conviction about why their way is the right and only way. !But here’s the truth as far as I have been able to make it out: ! => There is no “right” way.

!19

!There is no right training - not in the way most people think. !What you need, is the right training for YOU - and that will depend upon a number of factors, including your personality and interests. !Are you the kind of person who likes to focus on the future and keep things fairly surface level and goal orientated? !If so then a Clinical Hypnotherapy/Suggestion Hypnotherapy Training course will probably be suitable. !You’ll be able to relax people into hypnosis, give them some positive ideas and suggestions and send them on their way with a new set of beliefs and perspectives. !Or are you the kind of person who likes to dig deeper, to get to the root cause of issues and help people resolve their past? !If so, then a more Analytical Hypnotherapy Training (Hypno-Analysis) will be more appropriate. You will be able to use powerful regression techniques to take people back to the cause of their issues and heal traumas from their past, thereby setting them free in the present. !Or do you prefer ‘story-telling’ - or visualisation - or coaching or counselling - or psychotherapy - each has it’s own branch of hypnotherapy. !I point this out not to confuse you but to help you think about what kind of person you are before you commit to a training. !In my own 23+ year career I have used, and still do use, an eclectic combination of ALL of these methods. !

Are you the kind of person who likes to know a little about a subject - or do you like to know a lot?

!Whatever type of training you decide to pursue, it needs to be of

!20

sufficient quality and depth that you know how to handle clients and customers confidently - whether they want to break a simple habit like nail biting or smoking, or heal emotional problems such as anxiety, self-esteem and eating disorders. !At PHHT we cover ALL of these training options and I’ll give you more details on that in the Training Section, but staying with the Success Plan for a moment, once you have your skills and knowledge, you then need to decide where best to apply them … !2. Decide Your Starting Niche !The natural choice for most people starting out is to do general practice which is where you effectively say, “I’ll help anybody who comes along”. !However, nowadays, I would suggest you aim for a more a specific niche of clients. It doesn’t really matter too much which niche you choose - pain relief, weight loss, public speaking, anxiety, etc , and you can expand into other areas whenever you wish - but choosing a specific niche makes it so much easier to get clients and establish yourself as an expert. !And ideally, not just any expert - the expert. ! People will be far more likely to go to the expert in a particular area than they will someone who offers general practice - even though the treatments on offer may be identical. !Choosing a target niche also makes it so much more cost effective when it comes to your advertising, because there will be far less competition. !How do you choose a starting niche? Don’t worry - it always comes naturally! Think about an area of life that you are interested in and would like to learn more about or would like some help to work on in your own life and you will be naturally drawn to that, for example.

!21

!Once you’ve carried out some practice clients, you’ll also have a much better understanding of the areas that appeal to you. !So … !Imagine you’ve got your training, you have an idea of the niche you want to start out in, next you need to think about the sort of place you would like to work from …

!3. Choose A Location To Work From !One of the questions I get asked most by prospective students and students close to qualifying, is: !Where should I see clients? !The good news is there are many options available to you, whatever your personal situation, goals or budget. !Here are some of the most common options: !I. Work from home in spare room or office. II. Work from home via Skype. III. Do home visits to clients. IV. Rent a room in a clinic. V. Rent a private office or consulting room. VI. Hire a venue as required for courses and workshops etc. VII.Go to clients work place. !!

Work from home in spare room or office. !This is one of the easiest and most economical options if your circumstances allow. With no rent and minimal outlay this is great

!22

when starting out. !You can easily see clients in the evenings, at weekends, on days off or fit a few clients here an there into your daily schedule, for example. !All you need is a comfortable space where people will feel relaxed. It doesn't need to be clinical, just welcoming and relaxing and fairly quiet if possible, though there are ways around that if noise is an issue. !!!Work from home via Skype. !Don’t want people coming into your home? Want to attract clients from all over? Skype sessions are an amazing way to connect with people for coaching, therapy and hypnosis sessions - and all you need is an internet connection. !This is also a great way to help people who enjoy the convenience of Skype who themselves don’t want to travel. !I do Skype sessions for people all over the world and find them enjoyable and rewarding, and it allows me to connect with people who would otherwise be unable to do so. !!Do home visits to clients. !If you don’t want people in your home but do want face to face meetings, you can do home-visits. This is OK when starting out but when you get busy you will need to take the travel time into consideration as well. !Lots of people enjoy a professional practitioner coming to their home so there is a great niche of people you can serve here. !

!23

!Rent a room in a clinic. !If you don’t want people in your home and don’t want to do home visits, you can rent a room in a clinic. This is a great way to get new business because you will also pick up referrals from other practitioners. I have always chosen clinics where there are busy Osteopaths working, because they tend to have a large client base coming through their doors and they will often be looking for someone to refer clients to. !Typical rental rates might be £30 - £40 for 4 hours. !When first starting, most clinics will also allow you to do “Adhoc” bookings at an hourly rate, so you only book the time when you have a client. E.g. Client calls you to book an appointment, you have pre-checked what the adhoc availability is for this week, you arrange the time with the client and then call the clinic to block out that hour for you, for £5-10 or so. !This way you can work in a clinic without committing to a regular outlay. !!Rent a private office or consulting room. !Clinics can be great but you may prefer to rent a private office space and turn it into it into your own private consulting room. This can be a slightly more expensive outlay at the beginning, but is a natural progression for many practitioners as they become more successful. !The advantages are that you are much more in control of your environment and you can work as many hours as you want to, whenever you want to - all for the same amount of rent. !Sometimes it is also possible to share a private office with someone and that helps keep costs down and profits up, as well.

!24

!I run my London Harley Street clinic in this way - it is a private office that I share with a couple of others and we each have our allocated days to use as we please. !!Hire a venue as required for courses and workshops etc. !If you like the idea of working with groups you can hire venues as required. I have hired luxurious venues and very basic ones - but the amazing thing is that the clients don’t seem to mind too much as long as the content you deliver is good. !So don’t go looking for super expensive conference centres, if the local village hall will suffice. !It all depends on the number of people, travelling distances and other such factors, but I want you to realise it is entirely possible to launch a successful Professional Hypnotherapy & Hypnosis business without you committing to any premises whatsoever. !As an illustration, 10 people attending a one day self-hypnosis workshop for £95 each with the hall fee being £100 for the day means a profit of £850 for the day. !Not everyone is happy working in front of groups, but if you are, it can be very rewarding and very profitable and there are so many venues to choose from. !!Go to clients work place. !The alternative to home visits is work place visits. Sometimes clients will be able to book a private office in their work place where you can meet them. This may be a private arrangement or one through the company. !There are have been times where I have sat with a client in a

!25

glass office with 100 employees looking in! Not great so I always request they book a meeting room where possible, which works far better. And for office visits I always charge travel time.

!!So you see there are many options available for you to choose a location to work from and you may indeed use any number of them. !But once you have your training, have decided a good starting niche and made some enquiries into possible locations to work from, next you need to let people know you are available to help them. !The quickest, easiest and most cost effective way to do that is … !!4. Create a Customer Orientated Website !There are many ways to promote yourself but I believe the quickest, easiest and most effective way to launch or expand your business is to use a Customer Orientated Website. Please note, I say create a “Customer Orientated” website. !

=> We don’t need to win design awards! We need to tell people how we can help them, build trust and rapport so they want what we are offering and then make it easy for them to invest in our product or service. That is what a website is for!

!You can get a beautiful, functioning website for almost nothing - and we can even arrange that for you. !Now, having a website is great … but it’s no use unless people get to see it, so the next part of the plan is …

!

!26

5. Spread The Word. !The sad mistake that many people make is believing that once you have your qualification, a place to practice and a website, thousands of customers will come flooding your way. Here’s the truth: !They won’t. Unless they know where to find you and they want to come. !When you first create your hypnotherapy business & website it is like opening an unknown restaurant at the end of a remote country lane where nobody ever passes by. !But when you follow our step-by-step guidelines for launching your business, and spread the word in the way we teach, people will find out about you, start referring clients to you and you will become the ‘in place’ to go to for help. !As long as you provide great customer value, of course. So this is the next step in the plan …

!6. Deliver Great Customer Value !Delivering great customer value is not complicated - you just have to give people what they want and make sure they feel they are getting what they are paying for. And ideally, a little bit more. !Whenever I can, I will go the extra mile for my clients, such as remembering to send an email or a text or something like that if I know they have something coming up that may have been bothering them. I do it because I want to, and I want to provide the best possible service I can, but to the clients it feels very supportive. !

!27

As you know, little things make a big difference. !When you listen carefully to your clients and make sure you understand what they want, it is so much easier to deliver it to them. And you’ll find your clients will be loyal and happy to spread the word for you. !!7. Get Paid Well !Many people study hypnotherapy & hypnosis for personal interest or personal development, which can be life-changing in itself. But if you want to make a career out of it then you need to get paid. !As we mentioned earlier, fees vary from person to person and place to place and you can earn anything from a few hundred pounds a week in your spare time, to many thousands of pounds a month if you are more business minded. !The important thing to realise is that whatever outcome you want, the opportunity for achieving that IS available available for you and our aim is to help you accomplish that. !However, when you first start out it would be a mistake to take all the money you make as income. That is what amateurs do. !What successful professionals do is … !!8. Reinvest A Percentage Of The Income To Spread

The Word Further. !If wish to grow and expand your client base, the wise thing to do is set aside a percentage of your income each week or month to reinvest in

!28

spreading the word further. !Many people are worried about marketing and “selling” but if you follow the guidelines we teach you never have to “sell” your services, as people will want to come and see you. !But you do need to let them know you are there and setting aside a small percentage of your income to cover this in the early stages is vital. !Then it is just a case of …

!9. Expand & Repeat 6, 7 & 8. !As long as you deliver great customer value by giving your clients what they want, and a little bit extra when you can; and as long as you get paid well for doing that; and as long as you then re-invest a part of that to spread the word further, your business and your practice will grow - along with your reputation. !Eventually the word of mouth momentum will take over and you will begin to get referrals from many different sources, including previous clients, their colleagues, family and friends, G.P.’s and other practitioners. !As a result, you will have the pleasure of going to sleep each night knowing that today, whatever else has happened, you made a difference. And that feels good. !Now, the big question is …

Is this something you would like to do? !As you know it all begins with the right training and in Part 2 I will explain how we can help you …

Comments From Previous Students !"I did extensive research on the various hypnotherapy courses throughout the UK, but there was something about Andrew. He answered all my questions - several times - and he was just really open, accessible and compassionate. !“Andrew is so knowledgeable and delivers the information

with a lot of ease. He shares with us his learning curve over the 20 + years, including his mistakes, so that we don't have to make them. !“He is incredibly equipped to teach this course. Don't think too hard - just do it!” - Shanell Vaughn, Holistic Practitioner, Bermuda

!!“Enrolling on Andrew’s Professional Hypnotherapy course is the best decision I have ever made. !“Not only have I learned a skill I can use as a career, but I have also transformed as a

person, profoundly. The nervous, low self-esteem me has been replaced with the confident, balanced, and grounded me. I now view the world in a whole new light! !“I’ve loved every minute of the course and will be sad to see it end, I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Andrew is a brilliant teacher and hypnotherapist, a true master of the mind.” !Sarah Broad, Hypnotherapist, Hove, UK.

!!“His ability is fantastic. His experience is huge and his empathy as a teacher is enormous” David Pullan, Business Coach, London.

!“Hi Andrew, I hope you are well. !“Just thought to write you a note to tell you that I had my first ever proper ‘client/model’ yesterday and it went really well. !“He has been out of work on depression leave for 6 months, has seen a psychotherapist for 14 weeks,

and when we finish the session he said he got more of that just one session with me than his previous 14!!! !“I am very happy! With much gratitude” !Clara Zapata, Brighton, UK. !!!
