Sales and Marketing for Therapists

Sat March 9th 2008

At the Bedford Hypnotherapy Clinic

 

Presented by Gary Foster MIAPH

MOST hypnotherapists fail because of one fatal flaw … their inability to create a profitable business with their sought after skills. In fact most treat what they’re doing as a hobby and ‘play at it’ rather than become serious about it … the first indicator is the level of fees they charge and how they present themselves!
If you’re fed up at not being able to bring in more clients and create a business that will give you the income you deserve, then this workshop is for you. If you’re mystified at this thing called ‘marketing’ then worry no more. In just one day, Gary will strip away all the jargon and will work with you to develop your own ‘hypnotherapy practice’.

Here’s a taster on what you’ll discover …
- How to raise yourself above all of the other hypnotherapists in your area to become the ‘known expert’
- How to charge the right fees
- The secrets on writing adverts that attract potential clients that are a delight to take through therapy
- How to write press releases that get printed
- The brutal truth about brochures and flyers … this one will really make you sit up and listen! Get this wrong and you might as well wave goodbye to your business
- How to use your business cards as your ‘silent sales force’
- Why it’s important to have a marketing communication calendar AND if you don’t have one now, how to put one together which’ll reap in the rewards again and again, plus....you’ll also get a jam-packed 59 page manual that is full of hints, tips and strategies designed to grow
your business.

IAPH XMAS DINNER
In the evening, we will be having our annual Xmas party and disco. This will consist of a three-course Xmas meal, followed by a disco and fun/games/mentalism/magic.

Some comments from previous course attendees:

Very many thanks to Rob Kelly for another excellent seminar. Suggestion is a fascinating subject and one which influences all our lives. We are influenced in so many ways, both consciously and unconsciously. Rob's style was humourous and light-hearted, which made the seminar informative AND enjoyable.One message stays in the mind: you can achieve your objectives through the power of your imagination  - fear inhibits, imagination expands. So hypnotherapy can positively influence the subconscious in many ways.

Easy Website optimisation for Therapists
Presented By Rob Kelly FIAPH

Question: What is the easiest and quickest way to attract lots more clients?
Answer: By getting thousands more visitors to your website!

This one-day training course has been designed specifically for Therapists who have a website, (or would like one) and would like that website to rank highly, ie, appear at the top of the screen on the major search engines like google, alta vista, msn etc.

Most potential clients will only look at the first page of results once they have searched for ‘hypnotherapist in Leeds’ or ‘stop smoking in London’ etc. …. You need your website to be on this first page of website listings if you want lots of visitors to view your web pages.

You might have the best looking website in the world,
but it is useless unless people visit it!


There are just under TWELVE MILLION web-pages on ‘hypnosis’ on Google. Therefore, having an interesting, colourful, information-packed website is NO GOOD TO YOU AT ALL unless the public can find it by using one of the major search-engines.

During this dynamic course, Rob Kelly (a hypnotherapist, and expert in search-engine optimisation) will ‘optimise’ (make it search-engine friendly) one of the attending delegates websites, and turn it into a high-ranking, easy to find, search-term-specific, client-finder!

Rob will talk you through the whole process as he does it, so that you can optimise your own site at the same time. All Rob’s courses are presented in a fun & empowering manner.
This course will equip you with all the skills necessary to make all of your web pages HIGHLY VISIBLE to the public. Learn how to write the very best web pages, and optimise them for best performance, including: which words and pictures to use, the right ratio of words-to-pictures, the right topics to write pages on, ambiguous spelling, links to other websites, keyword meta-tags, keywords meta-title-tags, description tags, alt-tags, pictures, etc, etc.

In a recent survey of 250 hypnotherapists, 92% stated they attracted more than 80% of their clients via their website Ensure your website is getting as many visitors as possible!

Bring your website with you... If you already have one – either on your laptop or on paper, and we will work through it with you during the day. You will learn how to change/update your pages in order to make it ‘search-engine friendly’.

You DO NOT need to know anything about websites or search engines to benefit from this course

During the course, I will optimise one of the attending delegates websites, and turn it into a high-ranking, easy to find client-finder.

There is free internet access at the hotel, so you can optimise your website and have it uploaded to your server before the seminar is even finished!
I will teach you how to create the most effective domain and page names, including ‘doorway’ and ‘landing’ pages. I will also explain how search engines work, and how they rank different websites and web pages: why are some always in ‘the top ten’, and while others cannot be found, anywhere….

Why pay £1000's to somebody to do this for you, when you can do it MUCH BETTER yourself, and keep your website on top by spending just an hour a month on it.`

You will receive a purpose-written (plain-English!) handout detailing EXACTLY what you need to do to get the very best results from your website. An easy-to-read step-by-step guide will take you through the whole process.

Don’t worry if you are not ‘web-literate’ or ‘computer-literate’ – you can prepare the right wording and tags for your website on paper, and give this to your web-master to upload for you.

Question: What is the biggest mistake to make in marketing yourself?
Answer: To assume that whoever built your website has optimised it effectively... most web designers DO NOT KNOW VERY MUCH AT ALL about website optimisation!
If you had your website created/designed by someone else, it is very likely that it is very poorly optimised - Why not call Rob now, and together you can check over your site?

Some comments from previous course attendees:

"My knowledge of computers, websites, software and the like you can pretty well write on the back of a postage stamp. After your course, I've come home, rewritten sections of my website, placed appropriate keywords on each page, even uploaded all this information back to my host server, gotten google to have a look at it. Before your course, I could have done none of the above. Thank you so much for the course, I have no doubt this will benefit my business".
Philip Blake, Hypnotherapist.
Philip's Website

This course is a MUST for anyone wanting their website to be the main source for attracting clients to their Practice/Clinic. Rob explains clearly and without the normal computer " gobblygook" how to use the tricks of the trade to ensure your website is properly optimised. The opportunity to ask questions at all levels will ENSURE that new business finds YOU as opposed to your competitors. There should be no choice - you need to attend this Course ! You also get a concise Handout from the course as well for reference purposes - find out when the next Course is... and book !!
Greg Coyne, Hypnotherapist
Greg's Website

Prior to the course if you typed 'Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy Dartford' in google my website came up on the second or third page. After some minor changes learnt on the course, and some patience while google crawled my site again, if you type in either 'stop smoking dartford', 'quit smoking dartford', or 'give up smoking dartford' without any reference to hypnosis it now comes up as the first entry out of over 40,000 websites. Believe me when I say I am no web developer!!! As a result when the smoking ban came round in July the course ended up paying for itself 20 times over!!!
Richard Brent, Hypnotherapist Richard's Website

Hi, I just want to report that following the workshop I did with Rob on optimisation. I am thoroughly enjoying working on my own web pages rather than paying large sums of money to "experts".
The course opened my eyes and gave me the confidence to get in there and make it happen.
As a result I have moved from page 8 or 3 depending on the subject search, to page 1 in every topic I have worked on. It is often the top site on page 1 too. Enquiries are up as a result.
I would thoroughly recommend Rob's workshop to anyone who is still struggling to get to grips with this fascinating subject. I hope he will run another!!
John Hudson, Hypnotherapist - John's website

If a technophobe like me can find this stuff interesting and easy then anyone with their own website will! It's great to maximise the potential of my previously invisible website, which after all is my main "shop window". Thanks Rob for turning me onto something I was so reluctant to do myself. It's both saved me £100's in fees to an SEO company and my enquiries have doubled even after only two weeks!

The secrets of helping survivors of sexual abuse

Presented by Rob Kelly FIAPH
The cost of attending this course is £295 (£195 IAPH/ICHP members/Students) – which includes refreshments and lunch on both days.

B&B is available at the Hotel for 75 Euros, per person, per night

This course is written and presented by Rob Kelly, a hypnotherapist and trainer who has helped over two thousand victims of sexual abuse, over an eighteen year period.

The course will be based entirely around REAL case histories: some of which will be presented live on the day. Every delegate will receive comprehensive notes, an attendance certificate, and proof of 14 hours CPD. The course will be presented in a dynamic, colourful, and where possible, light-hearted manner, in order to facilitate a good group dynamic, and ease of learning.

To work successfully with the victims of sexual abuse, you must first
understand why and how abusers manage to abuse, and why they (often) get away with it undetected for many years.

This knowledge will help enable you to fully comprehend the very
powerful effects of GROOMING, DISTORTED THINKING, and
NORMALISATION – behaviours that often ‘trap’ the victims of abuse,
preventing them from being able to resolving their issues, and ‘unlock’
their own destructive behaviour traits.

This course will equip you with a good working knowledge and understanding of the issues surrounding Sexual Abuse; from the victim’s, perpetrators and therapeutic perspectives.

Some of the topics discussed will be:

  • Why men (mostly) rape and abuse women and children
  • The different types off abuse, and different types of abuser
  • How an abuser chooses, grooms and abuses his victims
  • How it feels to be abused, and the defence mechanisms and symptoms that can be produced by abuse.
  • How to help an abuse 'victim' to take control of their life and live happily - which interventions work best and quickest?
  • How to protect your family from sexual predators
  • Understanding 'Victimology'
  • Types of abuse
  • Signs & Symptoms of abuse
  • Fear/Denial/Guilt/Shame Dissociation & Resistance
  • Helping an abused client
  • A sociological perspective
  • Repression & Survival .........Is there a 'Victim Cycle'?
  • What is Grooming?
  • Why it is now a criminal offence?
  • What purpose does it serve?
  • Different experiences of grooming
  • The 'favourite uncle' syndrome
  • Collusion Institutionalised grooming (church, social work, teaching, police)
  • How grooming will impact upon any later attempts to resolve conflict surrounding the abuse (i.e. therapy)
  • Profiling the sexual offender.
  • Why do people abuse?
  • What triggers an assault?
  • Can paedophiles be successfully treated?
  • 'Career Paedophiles'
  • The 'Offender Cycle'
  • Female offenders
  • Why is it that 99% of abusers are victims, and yet very few victims become abusers?

"I can heartily recommend this two-day training course: Rob Kelly is a rare breed .... not only is he a highly-skilled and knowledgeable clinician, he is also a superb presenter who possess the ability to impart his experience to others in a truly inspiring fashion."
Dr Mark Pummel MBBS MRCGP FRCPsych


Please beware that the course will go into depth about many emotionally-charged subjects, and delegates who are not used to discussing such subjects openly, may find the training quite challenging. It is for this reason that we also suggest delegates take up the special B&B price at the hotel (only £35 per night) in order to unwind and ‘de-brief’ on the Saturday evening.

This is a Module of the IAPH Advanced Diploma Programme - Successfully complete 8 modules, and you will be awarded the Advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Hypnoanalysis

Rob Kelly and his associates have developed this course specifically for therapists and those professionals working with abuse victims and perpetrators. They bring a wealth of experience, having worked for many years within both statutory and non-statutory sectors, providing services to children (victims and perpetrators) and adults (survivors, non-abusing parents and perpetrators). Their own professional training has been provided by nationally recognised experts including The Lucy Faithful Foundation, and Ray Wyre and Associates.

Rob and his colleagues provide a range of consultancy and training services (social care, management, hypnotherapy, forensic hypnosis, professional supervision and communication & negotiation skills), and they also provide therapeutic interventions for individuals and small groups.

Some comments from previous course attendees:

I would like to thank Rob Kelly for providing the "Sexual Abuse and Sexual Offending" course. While this topic is very serious, Rob's knowledgeable presentation was delivered succinctly, compassionately and with a sense of humour that in no way detracted nor demeaned the topic. I now understand sexual abuse in a much more comprehensive way as the focus was not solely on the victims, but on the pscychology of abusers. This one day course is vital to the therapist's better understanding of their clients and I highly recommend attending  future courses.
Ron van der Holt, Hypnotherapist - Ron's website

Since attending this course I would doubt anyone to be fully equipped as a therapist without knowledge gleaned from this. To fully understand the mind set of an abuse victim, it is essential to also understand the mindset of the abuser and the impact this will have on therapy. I feel better prepared now to help the client who has survived either  physical, emotional or sexual  abuse as this course covers every aspect.
Caroline Hamblin, Hypnotherapist - Caroline's website

This course is an essential professional development course for all therapists and councillors involved in dealing with the results of abuse. It gives a greater understanding of the distorted thinking and patterns of behaviour of abusers and the effects on the abused. The material is powerful and challenging but ultimately leads to a shift in perspective that can only be of benefit to all who attend and I highly recommend it.
Keith Jones, Hypnotherapist - Keith's Website

I attended Robs excellent course ,dealing with sexual abuse and it,s perpetrators. I not only found it interesting and informative in the extreme. But a cathartic experience, and an invaluable tool for achieving self understanding.As the grooming methods of abusers were explained, it became very easy to apply to ones personal experience some of the methods described.
Because of this course I feel totally confident in my dealings with the unfortunate victims of the many kinds of sexual and personal abuse.

The secrets of successful Free Association

Sat 26th -Sun 27th April 2008 in Dublin
Download Dublin Booking Form

Presented by Rob Kelly FIAPH

The cost of attending this course is £295 (£195 IAH members/Students) – which includes refreshments and lunch on both days.

B&B is available at the Hotel - at a reduced rate of £35 (per night - Coventry) and 75 Euros (per night, Dublin)

Free-Association is the amazingly effective process that enables people to completely and permanently resolve the unconscious causes of their anxiety, depression, eating disorder, phobia or other emotional or psychological problem.

Free Association is one of the most misunderstood of all therapeutic techniques, and yet, when administered correctly, is profoundly effective. The aim of this course is to equip you with the skills and knowledge to practice Free-Association successfully. The therapy, and more importantly, how to practice it, will be described in detail - the majority of the training will consist of listening to, and analysing, pre-recorded therapy sessions. Many different recordings, of various clients, at different stages of the therapeutic process will be studied in order to understand what most helps and hinders the therapeutic process.

Some of the topics discussed will be:
  • Why is ‘FA’ so successful, where other interventions fail?
  • The many ways that both the client (and therapist) can sabotage therapy
  • The effects of denial, dissociation, disavowel and grooming upon therapy
  • How to explain FA to your clients, and what to say if they get ‘stuck’
  • Learn when to talk, and when to stay quiet. What are the right things to say?
  • Understand what ‘true’ or ‘pure’ Free Association REALLY is
  • How to help a client to abreact, and to release their bottled-up emotions
  • Learn to spot red herrings, and use techniques like ‘automatic writing and drawing’
  • Learn why this technique the most natural and holistic of ALL therapies
  • How to use ‘clean’ and ‘reflective’ language effectively
  • Understand ‘recovered memory’, false-memory, and the law
  • Recognise the effects of distorted thinking and ‘normalisation’ on therapy

Rob Kelly FIAPH will present this dynamic and empowering course, which is open to any practicing therapists, or therapists in training. The content of the course will be quite explicit at times, and traumatic events may well be discussed in great depth.

Some comments from previous course attendees:

Attending the recent "The Secrets of Free Association Course" has provided me with an in-depth understanding of what FA means and how to guide a client through the process. The unique live demonstations were superb and as a new student, all my questions regarding this topic were answered. It was presented in a very sensitive and down to earth manner by Rob Kelly, who in my opinion, is an excellent presenter and captures the audience's attention completely throughout the two days.
Anne Costelloe, Pinner - Successful Hypnotherapy Student

Hi Rob
Just a note to say how brilliant your recent 'free association' course was. The course was presented in a professional and humorous manner making it easy to understand and easy to absorb. All in all a brilliant course and I'm looking forward to attending more course with you in the future. Keep it up mate, all the very best
Tony Clayton - Successful Hypnotherapy Student

I attended the free association seminar hoping that it would help me to get a better understanding of this unique therapy that we in the iaph practice.  We were able to listen to tapes, and hear how Rob Kelly gets the best possible results from clients.  Also, being a volunteer I was able to experience first hand the way to make sure each client is making clear links to progress with their therapy.  I would strongly recommend that any therapist or student hoping to become a therapist go on this amazing two day course, and to get the maximum benefit be a volunteer.  Since going to this, my clients have increased, my results with clients have increased, and my confidence as a therapist has also increased.
Susan Chetwynd, Hypnotherapist

I've been practicing free association for a long time. Even so, I found the course really worthwhile. Taking some your sessions apart and looking at what you did and why was really helpful. I think what
was really good was that you didn't take the easy clients but the difficualt ones, which is where we all struggle. I don't doubt the course has helped me with my clients and I look forward to attending
a further course.
Philip Blake, Hypnotherapist - Philip's Website

Whether you are an established practitioner or a "newbie" you need to attend this course. Rob not only produces his usual fantastic handout and of course his usual great presentation and banter but also those attending have the opportunity to see at first hand how Rob carries out his methods of 'Pure' Free Association as he demonstrates on a few unsuspecting members of the audience just how it should be done. By watching at first hand you WILL come away from the Course and change and improve the way you are using and demonstrating Free Association with your Clients. With
the opportunity to ask any questions and have them clinically explained this course is one of the BEST! You cant afford NOT to go on this course.
Greg Coyne - Hypnotherapist

A unique insight into the subtle ways of helping a client through analysis. My success rate at getting clients through therapy in under 10 sessions has more than doubled! No more problems with resistance - the 'brick walls' are demolished before my clients ever know they are there. Understanding the pace and structure of an ideal session has helped me to become a better therapist.

Easy smoking cessation Presented By Rob Kelly FIAPH

Learn how to stop 95% of smokers - in just one session! Learn from a GENUINE expert in this field who has stopped over 6000 smokers. During this packed one-day course, you will learn EVERYTHING that you need to know in order to be able to stop 95% of the Smokers who walk through your door in just one hour-long session. A real session will be demonstrated before your very eyes and then dissected so you can understand the component parts. Stopping someone smoking permanently is a lot more involved than just giving them some suggestion therapy, and keeping your fingers crossed! I will explain (in plain English):
  • How to attract smokers.
  • How to filter out the people you DON'T want to take on.
  • How to help the smoker to overcome their ERRONEOUS BELIEF that they are addicted to it.
  • Why smoking is THE BEST habit in the world to have (no joke!).
  • That motivation (or willpower) is directly related to incentive (or benefit) and why this is the major reason most smokers fail to stop.
  • The cycle of dysfunctional behaviour and how it relates to smoking.
  • Why most smokers trying to quit are operating under a delusional belief system that continually undermines their attempts to quit.
  • How visualisation can keep the client feeling positive and focussed.
  • Why smokers are happy to pay £195 for a one-hour 'Easy Smoking Cessation' session .
  • Why the client's firm belief that they are a non-smoker is so critical.
  • How to SUPERCHARGE rapport and trust.
  • How to overcome cognitive dissonance (the feeling that 'something is not quite right').
  • The difference between a Smoker, and Ex-Smoker and a Non-Smoker..
  • Recognise which smokers to NOT take on.. different personality types
  • How to word the perfect suggestions.and much more.

I will also prove to you, why having a single one-hour session is far more successful than having many sessions, or an extra long session. Learn a successful and innovative technique (and the insights and understanding that go with it) that Rob have developed over the last 15 years, whilst stopping over 6000 smokers*. (*Verified).

A comprehensive 85 page Smoking Cessation Pack is included in the cost of this course. This pack is a written account of everything I will teach you on the day of the course, including: the best induction to use, the actual suggestions to give, how to run the session, how to change your clients belief system, what to say to your client, examples to give, and over 40 pages of independent research into smoking, tobacco, habits, advertising etc etc.

FREE TO DELEGATES ON THIS COURSE ' A SIXTY MINUTE SUBLIMINAL 'EASY SMOKING CESSATION' CD ' TO USE IN YOUR CONSULTING ROOM.

The media, and hence your local population, judge a hypnotherapist's skill and expertise by how good he or she is at stopping people smoking. Make sure you are very good at it!

Some comments from previous course attendees:

Many thanks for your recent 'Easy Smoking Cessation' course that I attended. I am now using only your method in my clinic and my success rates have sky-rocketed!
The course was enjoyable and presented in a manner that allowed the information to be easily absorbed.  I would heartily recommend this course to anyone serious about helping their clients to permanently give up the fags. Thanks again Rob.
Liz Hogon, Hypnotherapist
- Liz's Website

Hypnotherapists, this is your bread and butter, this is the one that Joe public judges you on, so you had better be good at it! And believe me this course will help you become very, very good at it, and how do I know this? Its been four years since I attended it, and guess what? I haven't smoked since, and the best thing is, I didn't even need the hypnosis part. Smoking is a behaviour, and to try and change a behaviour without changing the belief behind it is very difficult, but when you change the belief the rest is easy!  
Stephen Chan, Hypnotherapist - Stephen's Website

Rob Kellys Specialised Smoking Cessation course,is what makes the IAPH practise in this treatment,way above good,in a category of par excellence. It is what makes a one hour session,Successful, Liberating, and Complete. This is because it doesnt only teach the suggestions to use to the powerful software of the subconscious mind, but the important aspects of the cognitive distortions of smoking, and hence the applied psychology to it all.
This is why in my treatments I can take such a dynamic approach in preparing clients, before they even get to the therapy room, totally fired up, with no fear of failure,and a brilliant success rate.
I cannot imagine practising any other way. An essential course as a practitioner, to be totally well informed, and therefore to keep standards and success rates higher than highest.
Brilliant.

This course teaches how childbirth can be a relaxed and positive experience for all involved.  It is well presented and goes through every aspect of the birthing process including how to dispel fears and worries and explaining how self-hypnosis can help greatly with our own natural ability to give birth easily.  I now teach other expectant mums and dads the same thing and I thank you Sue, for an excellent course that can not only help parents through the birth itself, but also show them how to learn relaxation and positivity during the weeks afterwards, helping them to cope and bond with their new baby.

The Second two-day course in the 'Secrets' serieswritten and presented by Rob Kelly FIAPH

Course overview:
The aim of this course is to equip you with the knowledge, insight and skills necessary for effective assessment, engagement and motivation to help you create the very best possible relationship and environment for working with your client



This course is divided into three sections;

1) How to run an effective Initial Consultation:
How to assess the nature your client's presenting symptoms, and ascertain their suitability for therapy, while creating the rapport, trust and empathy necessary for a strong therapeutic relationship.

2) Recognising and working with clients with Personality Disorders:
It is generally accepted that people who suffer from personality disorders can find the resolution of anxiety symptoms very difficult - however Pure Hypnoanalysis can be extremely effective in resolving many of these problems.

We will discuss each of the main 'disorders' that clients are likely to consult a therapist with, and look at how these types of personality get formed/created, and how they are likely to react in therapy.

3) Understanding and working with Dissociative
Conditions:

Dissociation is sometimes referred to as 'The Hidden Epidemic', and affects millions of people worldwide. Most 'normal' people have perhaps one or two significant traumatic experiences in their childhood that have had a pathological effect, causing anxiety and depression. People who are dissociative tend to have experienced a very conflicting or traumatic childhood and they have had to develop different coping mechanisms to everyone else..... these 'coping mechanisms' can make life very difficult, even after the threat of trauma has passed...

Who is this course aimed at? - any healthcare professional, therapist, Doctor etc.

Some comments from previous course attendees:

Another excellent course delivered by Rob Kelly.
I believe a lot of therapists neglect the importance of gaining excellent rapport as quickly as possible with a client and a successful therapy can depend on this, whether it be one session or 10 sessions. This is one of Rob's strenghts and he imparts his knowledge of how do do the same in an inspiring way that gives delegates the confidence and belief that they can use the same techniques to achieve the same results. Rob also has tremendous knowledge of how to quickly professionally assess a client whilst still making the client feeling completely at ease and confident in their surroundings. I learned so much from this seminar and the techniques are now cast in stone and used effectively every day.
Jonathan Wootton, Hypnotherapist

As a professional therapist dealing with anxiety and mental health issues it is incredibly important to understand completely who can be treated, who can't be treated (and why) and how to manage clients during the (any) therapeutic process. Rob's demonstrations and lectures about the different personality types and their different strenths, weaknesses and motivations, along with a detailed view on mental disorders and psychosis, will really benefit my day to day work. After the course I feel more equipped dealing with each and every single TYPE of person seeking help for anxieties and symptoms, and therefore (any) therapy will certainly be easier and quicker and more successful for me AND for the client themselves. Rob is a wonderfully dynamic lecturer who enables detailed information to sink in easily. Regardless of whether your therapy involves hypnosis, if you deal with people, you should be on this course...

Some comments from previous course attendees:

'Stevie knows his stuff inside and out and his relaxed, sincere and friendly manner gets it across in a way that leaves you in no doubt about it all. And if you are in any doubt by the end of the day, just volunteer to be stuck by a needle like I did! Stevie's techniques and powerful suggestions proved to me that I could have a needle inserted in the back of my hand with only the mildest of sensations that did not bother me at all. So now with my doubts completely dispelled I can take away everything I learned and experienced at the Pain Management seminar to further help my clients. Highly recommended.'
Beaula Page, Hypnotherapist - Beaula's Website

This very enjoyable day, a great mix of theory and practice, provided me with real skills in Pain Management and, more importantly, the knowledge of how and when to use them effectively and safely.As an added bonus, you get Stevie's Cancer Help Program included in his very detailed information pack. This is a complete guide to helping a client through their illness/treatments but is equally valid as a self-assessment, and potentially life-changing, approach to managing your own health and wellbeing.You win all round with this course.......you add to your skills as a therapist, and, on a personal level, come away with a guide to optimising your own health.

Secrets of successful hypnoanalysis Written and presented By Rob Kelly FIAPH

Question: What is the Fastest, most Effective and most Liberating type of therapy available today?

Answer: 'Pure' Hypno-analysis

'Pure' Hypno-analysis, is a brief-therapy, that brings together all the most successful hypno-analytical, and psychotherapeutic techniques.

This unique therapy can bring a person to a moment of 'surprising and liberating enlightenment' ridding them of their fears, phobias, anxieties, depression (and any other psychological and emotional symptoms) within about 8 hours.

Sounds unbelievable?  
This therapy is NOT; an NLP 'quick fix', some kind of 'fast phobia cure', suggestion therapy, or any one of a hundred or so similar therapies - these techniques DO NOT resolve the cause of the anxiety, they simply cover it up, or give the person a bit more control.

The nearest equivalent to 'pure' Hypnoanalysis, would be a traditional three or four year course of psychotherapy or psychoanalysis - but with better results.

The main reason WHY this therapy is so successful, is because, for the first time, we can understand actually where these emotional disorders come from, and how they are formed.   With this knowledge, it is comparatively easy to help a person come to a state of total resolution of their anxieties/fears.

Probably more amazing than the success of the therapy itself, is the fact that the process of therapy is so simple, and doesn't rely on a whole bag full of 'therapist tricks' - in order for it to work effectively. This therapy merely enhances the 'natural human process' to resolve emotional trauma and conflict - no other intervention is necessary.

To read about Rob Kelly - the guy who developed this technique - and to see him in action, go to www.rob-kelly.net

Whether you a student of psychology, a counsellor, a psychotherapist, a Doctor, a social worker, a policeman, a nurse - these two days will give you a tremendous amount of insight into human nature, and change your life! 'Pure' Hypnoanalysis is the ONLY therapy in the world, that can CURE symptoms such as emetophobia, coprophobia, social phobia, shy bladder.....


Hypnoanalysis is THE single most effective therapy
that exists in the world today!

Learn all the secrets of being a successful hypnoanalyst - In just two days! During this dynamic two-day course, you will be taught not only HOW, but WHY hypno-analysis is such an effective treatment. You will learn how YOU can achieve, in just 6 or 8 sessions, what would normally take about four years in a more traditional psychotherapy AND with more impressive results!

Hypnoanalysis is THE single most effective therapy that exists in the world today for resolving phobias, fears, anxieties, depression, eating disorders, confidence problems, sexual problems in fact ANY symptom that has a psychological component to it. This course is ideally suited to all therapists (or student therapists) who use any form of analytical therapy within their work. How is this course different to any other? Well, it is being presented by a leading expert in Hypno-analysis, someone with over 15 years, and 4000 clients worth of experience - Rob Kelly. Rob will demonstrate ALL the techniques you will ever need to use, AND explain HOW and WHY they work. Resistance, transference, abreaction, repression, regression, denial, false memories, catharsis, neurosis, phobias etc will all be explored and, more importantly, EXPLAINED in a very clear and understandable way. Learn why 'pin-point analysis', 'age regression', 'regression to cause', 'ideomotor signalling' and other 'find the cause' type therapies rarely do actually find the cause... OR resolve the problem!

To practice hypno-analysis successfully, you must first understand why we respond to trauma or emotional conflicts in our lives by creating anxieties, phobias and other symptoms. When you understand how and why these symptoms are created, it is much easier for you to help your clients to resolve them. Some of the knowledge you will gain during this course will include:
  • How and why we repress emotional conflicts.
  • The difference between denial, disavowal, suppression and repression.
  • Why, with certain types of symptoms, CBT, NLP or suggestion therapy are completely ineffective.
  • Why psychiatry's understanding and treatment of phobias is flawed, and usually just exacerbates the problem.
  • Why different people have different types of symptoms.
  • Why some personality types WANT to maintain their symptoms.
  • How to encourage and abreaction: how to enable a client to re-live a traumatic event, in order to resolve the symptoms caused by it.
  • How to treble your client base, AND your income!
  • The best hypnotic inductions to use (and which to not use).
  • Understanding Free Association, creating trust and rapport .
  • Negotiating with the client's subconscious.
  • Debriefing rape or trauma victims.
  • The use of 'Clean' and 'Reflective' language in therapy.

"I can heartily recommend this two-day training course: Rob Kelly is a rare breed .... not only is he a highly-skilled and knowledgeable clinician, he is also a superb presenter who possess the ability to impart his experience to others in a truly inspiring fashion."
Dr Mark Pummel MBBS MRCGP FRCPsych


Some comments from previous course attendees:

This is probably THE key courses to attend , even if you thought you knew something about Free Association.  Robs style and openness is illuminating and long, long lasting!  The examples and insights will change the way you operate with Clients, it did me!
