We no longer teach hypnotherapy courses directly
Our full course is still taught by the schools listed here
A Genuine Institute
Although it is not generally well-known, the term 'Institute' can only be legally used if permission has been gained from the UK Government. Because we were able to show that we are eminent in the field of training and that we are involved in leading research, we were able to obtain the approval of the UK Secretary of State to term ourselves an 'Institute'.
Our advanced online courses are considered as suitable for Continual Professional Development by most major associations including:
- The Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy
- The National Register of Psychotherapists & Counsellors
- The National Register of Advanced Hypnotherapists
- The Association of Hypnotherapy & Stress Management
- The International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association (USA)
- The General Hypnotherapy Register
- The National Council of Hypnotherapists
- The National Council for Psychotherapy
- The Hypnotherapy Association
- The Complimentary and Natural Healthcare Council
The Essex Institute was created in 1999, first of all as the Essex College of Clinical Hypnosis, originally teaching just the one course, the Professional Practitioner Hypnothnerapy course. Advanced courses were soon added, the first being the much-acclaimed Warriors, Settlers & Nomads, the dynamic and modern version of Parts work that can resolve all sorts of personal issues such as low self-worth in barely any time at all. The Warriors Settlers & Nomads course is now taught by Terence Watts at The Terence Watts BWRT Institute as one of the specialst courses there.
