Whether you are choosing to pursue a new career, or wishing to broaden your existing skills and knowledge in hypnosis, hypnotherapy or brief therapy, this London course application page will give you the information needed to take your studies further. Our current training venue for courses in clinical hypnosis in London is the London School of Hygiene and Medicine in central London.

All teaching takes place a central London location on interspersed Saturdays. We have found this interspersed approach to training to be one of the most effective ways to enhance the process of learning practical approaches, giving students time and the opportunity to develop client centred skills and theoretical knowledge. In addition also allowing students from all over the UK to attend the course. This is also beneficial for individuals who have other professional commitments or are already employed.

The DipHE in Clinical Hypnosis is comprised of 8 modules; each worth 30 credits. Each year of study consists of 4 modules; 2 each semester. Students can choose to complete their studies one semester at a time and register for 2 modules. Students cannot register for less than two modules and all modules must be completed in the required order. Students can choose to continue with their studies and undertake the next 2 modules in the following semester or have a break and return at a later date. This particularly allows students to have a break for personal circumstances if required and still retain the accumulated credits. This system may also be of benefit for students who wish to study Clinical Hypnosis in a scientific, theoretical and practical way without the need for full training in clinical practice. Students can also use this system to explore whether undertaking the full DipHE is right for them.

Standard University fees apply, please see application form for fees and dates below. Fees can be paid in full at the beginning of the academic year or can be paid in instalments. Students wishing to enrol should send their completed application form to the BST Foundation head office, along with a 25 % deposit of the current course fee, which will reserve a provisional place pending possible interview. This initial payment will be fully refunded if individuals do not meet the selection requirements. The balance for course fees should be received fourteen days prior to the commencement of study, although flexible payment plans are available on request.
