For ease of reading, wherever you are in the world, we’re going to use ‘hypnotise’ with an ‘s’ throughout this page. If you spell ‘hypnotize’ with a ‘z’, fell free to imagine the ‘s’ as a ‘z’! As you will discover on this course, there are many different views about all things hypnosis-related, including how hypnotise/ hypnotize is spelt.
Rather than people being born as awesome hypnotists, it is actually something they learn. This training has been strategically designed to give you a strong foundation of core hypnosis skills. It will prepare you to go in any direction, from wherever you are right now. Whether you are curious about hypnosis, want to be able to help friends and family, desire some cool ‘show me something’ party tricks, or perhaps want to eventually become a hypnotherapist, street hypnotist or comedy stage hypnotist, this course will help you gain essential knowledge and skills.
You will learn how to hypnotist fast. This 10-week live online course gets you using hypnosis in the very first session.
Rather than spending weeks discussing the theory, this course fast-tracks you straight into doing hypnosis work in week one. Subsequent sessions then develop your hypnosis skills.
Being able to assess suitability and prepare participants will help you to decide how to engage with them, and you will be taught a range of suggestibility tests that can inform how you then work.
You will then learn how to create and intensify the state of hypnosis with a range of effective hypnotic inductions, including rapid hypnosis inductions, progressive inductions and also hypnotic deepeners. This gives you the ability to select the most appropriate hypnotic approach for your participant.
In addition to creating the hypnotic state, you will learn how to interact and work with the hypnotised person. This includes delivering a hypnotic gift, ego boosting and positive change work. Going beyond the more experiential and therapeutic aspects of hypnosis, you will also learn how to safely and effectively deliver fun suggestions.
Each session uses a blend of teaching and learning strategies, including discussions, hypnosis demonstrations and practical activities. Some techniques are taught as hypnosis experiences and you will also get to experience hypnosis during the practice sessions.
If you are considering a career in hypnotherapy, this is an ideal course, giving you some essential skills that will enable you to learn hypnotherapy from an informed position.
This course is for anyone who wants to learn how to hypnotise, whether that is simply curiosity at this point, or you already have a hypnosis career planned.

When you have learned how to hypnotise, there are many ways you can use your skills. Beyond the core hypnosis basics, which are really essential for everyone, what you want to focus on, such as fun stuff or change work, will influence what you learn.
When you’ve completed this training, and you have learned how to hypnotise, you may choose to use it for the following:
Change work hypnotist: Helping friends and family
To help people with change, a good foundation in hypnosis skills is the starting point, and then you will be able to add in a hypnotic gift, ego strengthening and some change work suggestions. If you then want to develop further at some point, this course will give you a great foundation for training to become a hypnotherapist or clinical hypnotist.
Impromptu hypnotist: Party tricks
You will be able to hypnotise friends, even strangers, in social settings, events, parties, or even your local pub or bar. You can enjoy doing some suggestibility tests, a simple hypnosis routine, or something that demonstrates the power of the mind.
Comedy hypnotist: Entertaining people with hypnosis
Does the fun side of hypnosis excite you? This course can give you a well-informed start in this direction. You can then work out if this is something that resonates with you. This course is not intended to be a stage hypnosis course, but it will give you some awesome skills to be able to get the most from live stage hypnosis training.
Some examples of how you could use what you learn:
This course complements Dr Kate’s popular book, Hypnosis: How to Hypnotize – 10 steps to success.
During the first session, we will cover the essential hypnosis fundamentals that will enable you to hypnotise someone. This includes a discussion on what hypnosis is, and what it isn’t. Some of the myths about hypnosis might surprise you. We will also explore hypnotic phenomena; responses which can occur in hypnosis, whether spontaneously or in response to suggestion. Some of your work in hypnosis makes use of phenomena, so it is useful to understand what is involved. You will also learn how a hypnosis session is structured and how to prepare someone for hypnosis and gain consent to be hypnotised. This is all excellent preparation for you to first experience hypnosis and then hypnotise a fellow classmate.
In the second session, we start by considering your hypnosis voice and your mindset as well as other key practical considerations in preparing you to hypnotise. We then go on to explore what is needed to prepare your hypnosis environment, and the person you will be hypnotising. Not forgetting how to manage an audience who may observe your hypnotising work. We then go on to explore what is needed and how to get information for hypnosis and then, we move on to suggestibility testing. Your practice in this session is focused around the use of suggestibility testing.
Our third session is focused on creating the hypnotic state. We start by looking at what is involved in permissive inductions, and authoritarian and dynamic hypnotic inductions, before moving on to a detailed exploration of a range of rapid inductions and progressive inductions. You will also learn an awesome rapid re-induction that will definitely save time in your subsequent hypnosis sessions. As you might imagine, the practice in this session will be focused on using hypnotic inductions.
The fourth session is all about intensifying the hypnotic state with hypnotic deepeners. You will learn a range of approaches from simple suggestion work, through to counting, physical and fractionation approaches. There will be lots of use of deepeners during your skill building practice.
By now, you will have learned and become familiar with creating and intensifying the hypnotic state. Our fifth session gives you some useful hypnosis techniques to use in the state that you have created. This means that even when you are simply getting in some great hypnosis skill building, you can reward your participants with something that will help them feel fabulous afterwards.
Session six has a focus on effectively re-alerting your hypnosis participants. Will you have already learned the essentials of how to do this by now? Absolutely – it is something you will learn on session one. However, in this session you will gain a deeper understanding of both the full re-alerting process and a fantastic rapid re-alerting technique. You will also get some awesome practice, working through a full hypnosis protocol.
The seventh session is focused on ego strengthening and we cover a range of powerful techniques that can be used to boost self-esteem, resilience and self-confidence. These techniques empower each person you work with, helping them to let go of stress and gain greater self-control, as well as reinforcing positive lifestyle, cognitive and behavioural changes. You will find out how amazing these techniques are during your hypnosis practice.
Session eight is all about positive change work. You will learn how to create effective hypnotic suggestions, enabling you to create truly bespoke work with the person you are hypnotising. You will also learn a great range of therapy techniques for boosting mental health, letting go of stress, and creating positive mind and body changes. You will also learn how to deal with the unexpected, giving you the confidence to work in a wide range of settings and situations. Your practice in this session is focused on hypnotic change work.
The nineth session is focused on the fun side of hypnosis. Whatever your interest in learning hypnosis, it is always useful to have something available to use for that “Can you show me something?” question that seems inevitable when you are talking about hypnosis. It can be useful for someone focused on positive change work, as you then have tools to clearly and safely demonstrate the power of someone’s mind. In the same way, if you are working in a more impromptu way, such as with ‘street hypnosis’ (e.g. in a bar), or with comedy hypnosis (often called ‘stage hypnosis’), this session gives you a clear starting point. You will learn about safe preparation and management, together with types of routines and how to transition between them. In addition, we will explore how to deliver enjoyable stuff online. You will also get an opportunity to practice some fun suggestions and routines within the session.
The tenth and final session brings everything together and there is a full hypnosis practice. We will also explore how to gain experience beyond the course, ways of finding people to practice with and how to engage in mentoring and supervision. Finally, we look at potential next steps, whatever you are most interested in.
