Clinical Hypnosis Training (Level 1 face-face / Level 2 online / self-record FPS-CPD)

$317.00 – $447.00Price range: $317.00 through $447.00 (inc GST)

Dr Cate teaches clinical hypnosis and hypnotherapy via two weekend workshops. This is a rare opportunity to gain solid training in hypnosis from a clinician who undertook 2 year training and has used hypnosis for over 30 years in practice.

The workshops are suitable for GPs, psychologists, counsellors, mental health professionals, nurses and allied health practitioners.

NOTE: There is growing interest from other professionals who are perhaps looking for new directions in career. I am open to discussing your needs and the training with you (cate.howell@gmail.com)

GPs can consider self-reporting the training for FPS-CPD accreditation / for more information please contact cate.howell@gmail.com

The workshops are:

1. Introduction to Clinical Hypnosis (Level 1) – All the basics for effective and safe practice (about hypnosis and its use, inducing trance and working within hypnosis) to give you a firm foundation. Plus the use of hypnosis to reduce stress and anxiety and its application to behaviour change (e.g. quit smoking).
2. Next level Clinical Hypnosis (Level 2) – This builds on the introductory course (a prerequisite for this course), and focuses on a range of life and clinical issues and how hypnosis can specifically assist the client (e.g. sleep issues, pain, low self-worth, depression …). Dr Cate has the clinical experience to be able to assist you in applying hypnosis to whichever issues you want to consider.

Level 1 is taught FACE-FACE as it is vital to have in person experience and supervision of the skills. Level 2 is taught ONLINE as you have acquired the basic skills in Level 1 and this course is more about applications of the skills. 

These are two separate courses, with a separate fee for each. You can register for both via this page. 

Also, you don’t have to book in for both workshops at once – you can do the first workshop only or come back later to do the second. But you do need to have done Level 1 or an equivalent course to attend Level 2.

We have just had the first ‘Introduction to Clinical Hypnosis (L1)’ course for 2026 in Melbourne. 

The ‘Next Level’ (L2) ONLINE course will follow in May (weekend of May 30th and 31st).

You can REGISTER for the NEXT LEVEL COURSE HERE.

Note: There is a full rate + a reduced rate for GP Registrars for students (currently studying post-graduate Diploma, Masters or PhD).

And any queries to cate.howell@gmail.com

A ‘Statement of Completion’ is provided for both Level 1 and Level 2. 

NOTE: Hypnotherapy was de-regulated in Australia a number of years ago, and so there are not specific training requirement to be able to use it in practice. Some professional groups set some requirements however (e.g. number of hours of training). You would also need to check with your insurance about whether hypnosis can be covered.
