We are a stable and successful school, established in 1999 by the Principal, Terence Watts, after he had already been in private practice for some 10 years. In addition to having a deep knowledge of hypnosis, he has also lectured extensively world-wide, written many books and manuals and is a member of the Society of Authors. as well as many other professional bodies. Terence still conducts a large amount of the training personally.
Although you might think that all hypnotherapy training is the same, nothing could be further from the truth! Many 'schools' are run by people who have not even completed their full training. To find out more about what makes a good school, click this link: Training information
Unlike most schools, we have our own commercial premises and are always on hand during business hours whenever you need to talk to us. If you ever get an answering machine, it simply means that all the staff are already talking to people; leave a message and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
We have trained many hundreds of people, many of whom are now successful therapists in their own right. A small number are now running their own successful schools, with our support.
Our post graduate support is completely free and for life - there are never any charges for our expert advice when you need it.
We have a full programme of advanced training opportunities and Continual Professional Development seminars at truly affordable prices.
The principal of the school is closely involved with the creation and development of a voluntary regulation, via the United Kingdom Confederation of Hypnotherapy Organisations and the Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy. This means that the Essex Institute will always be at the 'cutting edge' of the profession. Click here for information about the current state of regulation.
All training materials are included in the cost of our classromm-based courses. This includes the professionally written course notes, textbooks, and audio support CDs.
Our teaching staff are all qualified professional therapists and are all 'home-grown' having trained in the school themselves. This means that they are fully conversant with every part of the course.
We have visiting lecturers on every course, professionals who are at the top of their field teaching you a variety of extra skills. In this way, you achieve a properly rounded 'hypnoeducation'.
We are accredited by three of the major professional bodies and affiliated with a fourth.
Our classroom-based course covers in excess of the required number of hours that is likely to be the minimum requirement when regulation finally arrives.
Add to the above the fact that we have a genuine interest in seeing you successfully complete your studies and become a professional hypnotherapist with letters after name and you have the beginning of an understanding of what makes us special!
