three therapies, practised.
Not lectured at, practised. You watch each approach demonstrated live, then try it yourself with feedback.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
The CBT model, automatic thoughts, cognitive distortions, thought records, and Socratic questioning, worked through on your own patterns first.
Art Therapy
The therapeutic use of art, symbolism, externalisation, processing artwork, and facilitating activities you run with a partner.
Clinical Hypnosis
Myths versus facts, suggestibility, relaxation, inductions, and safe practice, guided through structured scripts in pairs.
where your 60 hours go.
Live practice at the centre, self-paced certification around it, and real assignments to hold it together.
how the skill actually lands.
This mirrors how psychotherapy is taught in real training institutes. Every skill moves through the same six steps.
Watch it done
See a live demonstration of the technique before you try anything.
Try it yourself
Put the technique into practice, first-hand, in the room.
Sit with it
Discuss what felt difficult and what surprised you.
Name the framework
Teach the rationale and structure behind what you just felt.
Repeat with guidance
Run it again, structured, until it starts to feel natural.
Get feedback
Receive facilitator and peer feedback on what to sharpen.
two weekends, four days.
Each day runs 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, a five-hour learning flow through the loop above.

Art Therapy in Practice
Observe: live art therapy demonstration. Experience: complete two art-based interventions. Reflect: what emotions emerged? Learn: principles of art therapy and processing. Practice: run an art activity with a partner. Supervision: feedback on facilitation and reflections.
Clinical Hypnosis Foundations
Observe: live relaxation and induction demonstration. Experience: practise breathing, PMR and basic inductions in pairs. Reflect: what did you notice during the experience? Learn: clinical hypnosis principles. Practice: guide a partner using a structured script. Supervision: feedback on pacing, tone and rapport.
Integrated Therapy Practice Lab
Observe: facilitator demonstrates an integrated mini-session. Experience: conduct a full 20 to 30 minute simulated session. Reflect: what worked and what challenged you? Learn: choosing the right intervention for the right client. Practice: repeat with feedback. Supervision: peer and facilitator evaluation, then final reflection.
