3 Human Potential and Personal Development Training in Hypnotherapy, Coaching and NLP The field of Human Potential and Personal Development is in a healthy phase of growth. Many people realise the potential for mind/body learning and achievement and are eager to seek out professional assistance to achieve insight on just what is really important to them in their lives and in their work and how to achieve it. Many are turning to a more holistic approach to Psychotherapy to assist with their emotional wellbeing and to help them to overcome stress and anxiety, fears and phobias as well as helping to rid themselves of unwanted habits such as smoking and over-eating. The Align Training HPD features four courses that are individually certified and can be completed on a stand-alone basis. These courses qualify you to practice independently in a range of settings, allowing you to benefit from the flexibility of running your own business. Professionally qualified Practitioners in these fields are also in demand working within organisations to offer Performance Coaching, NLP, Hypnotherapy and Stress Counselling. The four courses that are offered within the Professional Practitioner Programme are: NLP Professional Coaching Ericksonian Hypnosis Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy Solution Focussed Hypnotherapy NLP Professional Coaching Up until now there have been somewhat unnecessary dividing lines and a certain amount of confusion between the roles of Therapist, Counsellor, NLP Practitioner and Coach. In reality almost everyone who is a Therapist or an NLP Practitioner or Counsellor will perform better if they know the essentials of coaching. In order to help people become clear about the changes they want to experience, rather than become stuck in an exploration of the problem, coaching skills are not only desirable, but necessary. The Align Training Professional Practitioner Programme is offered in association with Central England College, an award-winning training establishment. This programme is unique in that it offers a cohesive structured approach to training, providing four separate, stand alone certificated Practitioner courses that, when combined, enable you to achieve the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma. Each course focuses on developing an essential skill set for helping others overcome problems, design meaningful life goals and achieve their potential. Completion of all four courses, subject to successful assessment, leads to the award of Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma (HPD). The Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma is the national occupational standard for hypnotherapy training in the UK, offering full external accreditation. A practitioner who holds this qualification demonstrates to clients and employers that s/he has followed a core syllabus that fulfils the essential competencies for professional practice.
