Education

Huddersfield University
Huddersfield, UK

Associate of Applied Science from Diploma in Operating Department Practice

Integrative Health Institute
Auckland, NZ

from Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy
12-2025

University Overview

This Diploma qualification, centres on the development of mental health and wellbeing. It ultimately allows me to practice as a Clinical Hypnotherapist. The course material addresses common mental health issues, and how the brain processes, and stores: trauma, stress, anxiety and depression. Hypnotherapy is first identifying the cause of the psychological distress, through therapy and coaching. Then, once the patient is aware, approaches are taken to hypnotise the patient and, using NLP, CBT, metaphors and suggestions, the patient is psychologically rewired to enable them to heal. The process of using hypnotherapy to heal is fast, profound and clinically effective.

I chose to do this course as I am deeply interested in human psychology and how we communicate, process information and store memories that then lodge in both the brain and the body. Subliminal communication and suggestion is highly effective at converting people's thoughts and beliefs into a positive experience, and therefore, memory. This communication skill is highly transferable in a sales and training industry as it greatly enhances your ability to foster trust, and rapport, with your clients on a deeper level. The intention would be to use that trust and rapport to quickly build a relationship and utilise this to convert sales.
