We are HypnoTC: The Hypnotherapy Training Company, an award-winning hypnotherapy training school based in London. Founded in 2015 by Dr Kate Beaven-Marks and Rory Z Fulcher, it brought together over 40 years’ experience in the hypnotherapy industry. Since 2022, Dr Kate is our Director of Studies and leads on all HypnoTC hypnotherapy training courses. She is supported by a team of specialists who are experts in their respective fields. As you will see from Dr Kate’s bio below, she has a wealth of knowledge and experience that has led her to become one of the most well-respected figures in the hypnosis and hypnotherapy community. As well as teaching hypnotherapy, Dr Kate continues to run her own international hypnotherapy practice, both online and in person. This greatly benefits our students, because the best hypnotherapy teachers are those with real-world experience helping clients.
With hundreds of satisfied graduates across the UK and internationally, as well as range of top-tier accreditations, our practitioner-level training is widely regarded as among the best in the world. So, if you want to learn to help others and become a confident, professional hypnotherapist – you’re in the right place.
At HypnoTC, we specialise in all aspects of hypnotherapy training, and we are constantly striving to ensure that all of the techniques we teach (and the strategies we use to teach them) are of the highest quality, meaning that everything we do is delivered to the best possible standard.
As well as being a well-recognised hypnosis expert, Dr Kate is a qualified teacher with industry-standard teaching qualifications. This means that not only do we know all about hypnotherapy and how/ why it works, we also know how to effectively convey that information to our students in order to optimise learning and build confidence.
We pride ourselves on the fact that our course content is always cutting-edge and highly functional. This means that you will be able to seamlessly integrate all of the knowledge and skills that you learn with us into your own therapy practice. With this level of understanding, you will be able to offer the best possible solution for your prospective clients, and you’ll have the ability to resolve any type of issue that a client may come to you with.
At HypnoTC we are passionate about all things hypnosis-related, because for us, hypnotherapy is more than just a ‘job’ – it’s a lifestyle, and this passion comes across in all of our training (as you can see from our recent graduate testimonials). As a leading hypnotherapy training provider, our main goal is to see our students and graduates succeed as confident, effective professional hypnotherapists – our passion is helping you to help others.

Dr Kate is an energetic, enthusiastic and passionate hypnotherapy trainer, with a cumulative theoretical and practical knowledge of hypnosis that would be difficult to surpass.
