11271NAT Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy

The evidence supporting the extraordinary benefits of modern Clinical Hypnosis is growing rapidly.

So much so that the American Psychological Association (APA) dedicates an entire division to Clinical Hypnosis, and when coupled with Strategic Psychotherapy, considered by many to be an advancement beyond both ACT and CBT, it is an unbeatable combination.

Experienced professionals and those new to therapy are equally amazed at what can be achieved in a very short space of time.

WHY OUR GRADUATES LOVE US

The NLP with Gordon Young was wonderful. Gordon has experience, loves what he does and teaches from heart. It was amazing experience!

Guaraciara Roma Petrucci
If you want to learn from the best in the Industry – I highly recommend to enrol with IAP! I successfully completed the Diploma course “Clinical Hypnotherapy & Strategic Psychotherapy” and the “NLP Practitioner” course and now I can’t wait for the NLP Master Practitioner Course to start! Gordon Young and his team are amazing and I enjoyed every minute of the courses. They are very well structured and Gordon’s professional presentation and unique teaching style made both courses very engaging and learning actually fun! I am most appreciative for the solid knowledge that I gained and I look forward to pass it on to my clients!
