ABOUT THE INSTITUTE

The Australian Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy (AICH) is the only Cognitive/Solution-Oriented hypnosis training provider in Australia, and a leader in progressive hypnosis training. AICH is dedicated to providing high quality, hands on learning. Our experiential training techniques, small class groups and ongoing support options ensure that students gain a thorough understanding of hypnotherapy and graduate equipped with the skills needed to begin a career as a hypnotherapist.

COURSE OPTIONS

We offer three robust training options :

1) Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy 10450NAT.

This course has been designed for those who have no formal experience in counselling or therapy. Our Diploma covers all aspects of therapeutic hypnosis, strategic psychotherapy and professional practice.Many of our students are experienced therapists (psychologists, social workers, and counsellors) who are looking to expand their scope of practice and gain a formal qualification.

2) Abridged Course in Hypnosis

This is an abridged course for existing practitioners wanting to add therapeutic hypnosis to their current skillset without the workload of a Diploma, or for people looking to start a pathway towards the Diploma. Students are issued a Statement of Attainment for the units they complete. 3) NLP Practitioner Certification (non accredited)

The powerful NLP toolkit can be added to the Diploma or Statement of Attainment. We highly recommended upskilling with NLP, particularly if you have no experience in therapeutic practice.Many of our students gain so much from NLP that they have suggested it should be a mandatory inclusion in hypnotherapy training.

COURSE RECOGNITION

We are a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) and, as such, we are held to high standards of training delivery.

We believe that our training is the very best available in the hypnotherapy profession in Australia.

Our hypnotherapy course is listed on the official government website www.training.gov.au, RTO number 70206.

Our training is recognised by industry bodies including the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists, the Australian Hypnotherapists Association and other professional associations, health funds and insurance providers. In addition, AICH regularly sponsors some of the very best therapists in the world to come to Australia and teach in its courses, and when possible we fly experts from overseas to present to students and support our students and graduates with ongoing professional development.

At AICH, you get so much more than training - our faculty are internationally recognised and will mentor you towards professionalism and effictiveness when working with your your clients in the industry.

“I am very pleased to finally see an accredited course that ties in with modern approaches to psychotherapy, and to the research that has emerged in the past 10 years.

I see Gordon’s course as a significant advancement for the field of hypnotherapy.”

WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?HOW CAN IT BENEFIT YOU?

Hypnosis is a mental state induced by a procedure known as a ‘hypnotic induction’. Once this state has been attained, it renders the client open to a higher state of suggestibility.

It has been proposed that the Hypnotic state is one of a ‘split stream’ of consciousness in which two different systems of mental activity can occur concurrently. While one stream of consciousness responds to hypnotic suggestion, another subconscious stream processes information outside of the individuals conscious awareness.

This can induce a profound range of effects in any situation where the mind has an influence - virtually every part of your life. There have been countless studies worldwide that demonstrate the benefits of hypnotherapy in areas such as:

• Stress and anxiety• Pain Management• Insomnia• Performance/Study skills• Relationship issues• Trauma• Phobias• Kicking habits (smoking etc)• Physical healing

When using hypnosis, we are dealing with the unconscious, emotional mind, rather than the analytical, rationalising mind. Often peoples problems do not make rational sense, even to themselves - they respond emotionally even though their analytical mind may be aware that their response is not rational.

By dealing with the problems in the emotional

mind, we are targeting the problems at their source. We are addressing the conflict between the unconscious and the conscious process to bring about a positive change. That is what makes hypnotherapy so effective.

When you hear the word hypnotist, what comes to mind? If you’re like many people, the word may conjure up images of a sinister stage-villain who brings about a hypnotic state by swinging a pocket watch back and forth to trick people into performing actions they wouldn’t otherwise consider (in their rational mind). While the fundamentals are the same, therapeutic hypnotherapy has many stark differences. The most important of which being that the change occurs as a result of the reduction of the internal conflict between emotional/analytical mind.

According to John Kihlstrom (Ph. D, Professor of Psychology, University of Berkeley), “The hypnotist does not hypnotize the individual. Rather, the hypnotist serves as a sort of coach or tutor whose job is to help the person become hypnotized”. While hypnosis is often described as a sleep-like trance state, it is better described as a state characterized by focused attention, heightened suggestibility and vivid fantasies.

Hypnosis, therefore, is a valuable tool for anyone seeking to create positive, lasting changes in themselves or others. It is only through dealing with the emotional mind that these effects can truly be maximised and carried over into the analytical mind-sapce - the reduction of internal conflict will feel like a weight lifted from your shoulders and the changes will be reflected almost instantly in your day to day life.

Fast track your training

AICH provides the most thorough and intensive training in the field. Our training format is spaced out over a period of six months and is followed up by ongoing supervision. All of our students hit the ground running and are qualified to practice as a hypotherapist on completion of our course - this could be in just six months if all assignments have been completed to a satisfactory standard.

Some other training facilities will spread the classroom time over 12 months. In our experience, this does not offer an optimum training outcome. In fact, all over the world Hypnotherapy is taught in an intensive, modular format to maximise knowledge saturation and training outcome.

On graduation, you will be a competent practitioner, able to work with people immediately and feel confident in your skills as a Clinical Hypnotherapist.

In addition, we are here to support you before, during and after your course, whenever you need us.

There are very few career changes that allow you to recover your cost of training as quickly as this.

PAYMENT PLANSWe understand that not everyone has the ready cash to invest in a career change. This is why we have a simple Ezidebit Payment Plan that allows you to pay for your training over a period of up to a year.

With our Ezidebit payment plan, you can pay for your course interest- free over five monthly payments or extend your payments over twelve months if you wish. With Exidebit, are nominal monthly transaction fees.

Ezidebit is also not counted as a loan against

your credit rating. If your Ezidebit is still outstanding when you apply for other personal loans, home loans etc, this amount is not taken into account, unlike Austudy and bank loans. The only time the Ezidebit agreement affects your credit rating is if you default.

NB. Ezidebit is a contract you enter with a third party credit provider and is governed by the Credit Act.

WHY TRAIN WITH AICH?

ACCREDITATION As a Registered Training Organisation (RTO) deliver-ing Government Accredited training, and our train-ers go through a stringent auditing process that non-RTO training providers are not subjected to. Our government accredited Diploma of Clinical Hyp-nosis and Strategic Psychotherapy 10450NAT is rec-ognised under the Australiain Quality Framework. As a Cognitive and Solution-Oriented Clinical Hypnosis course, it is the only course of its type in Australia today. Successful completion of this course will pro-vide you with free membership to the Australian Hypnotherapists Association, the largest associ-ation in Australia, and/or the Australian Society of Clinical Hypnotherapists.

WHY IS ASSOCIATION MEMBER-SHIP SO IMPORTANT?Professional membership is essential as it is only through Association membership that you have access to comprehensive coverage for Malpractice Insurance and access to health fund rebates for your clients.*

A NOTE ABOUT SHORT COURSES AND AMERICAN ASSOCIATIONS If you choose to complete a short course or a longer course that is not nationally recognised you may not be able to secure professional membership and that will jeopardise your insurance coverage and negate your eligibility to secure Health Fund Rebates.

Many people attend courses that appear legitimate and provide membership to an American Association. Some of these courses are well organised and professionally delivered. However, unlike Australian Associations which are usually Not For Profit organisations, American Associations tend to be private companies owned by the same schools that offer the training.

They will offer you insurance after training with them but, if you look at the fine print of your insurance policy, it is rarely offer appropriate cover for you as a hypnotherapist. Ask questions. And if you are able to join an Association online, you should be asking even more questions.

*(You must complete a short probabtion with the AHA and have a current First Aid Certificate (included at Diploma level) before you are eligible to be placed on an approved provider list for health fund rebates)

Australian Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy I www.aich.edu.au I [email protected] I +612 9977 7989

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT WHEN YOU GRADUATE? On graduation, you will be a Clinical Hypnotherapist with qualifications that are recognised in Australia, New Zealand and the UK, as well as a host of other countries around the world. On graduation, you will enter the Australian Hypnotherapists Association. You will be el-igible for full comprehensive Malpractice Insurance.

If you choose to, the AICH can provide you monthly su-pervision (supervision is a requirement of AHA mem-bership). Your supervision sessions will consolidate your learning, deepen your understanding and further your experience whilst you set up your hypnotherapy practice. You will be able to practice immediately with a thor-ough and practical knowledge of the use of hypnosis in

the treatment of the many common ailments.

On graduation, you will leave the course with the skills to charge $100+ per hour for your services. Your hourly rate can increase with experience. You may be able to recoup your investment with just 25 clients.

AICH is always looking for ways to promote our graduates and we are in the process of building directory sites exclusively for the use of our graduates. These listings will offer a quick, easy and cost-effective way to establish your web presence.

"Eleven years as a police counsellor taught me a lot about people, but this course challenged many of my beliefs. I have now changed the way I work and I love it. Gordon (lead trainer) oozes expertise and confidence and

somehow inspires confidence in you.

Gordon's teaching style is honest, practical and straightforward. It comes from some central place within him, and makes for a very positive learning experience."Christine Weston Psychotherapist

"I was so impressed with the school's professionalism, educational approach and passion for what they teach. Gordon is a charismatic trainer and the opportunity to train with the world's best was hard to pass up.

Dr Michael Yapko was a highlight and the group's exceptional bond was so very important in a class of 18. Gordon's standing in the field, his easy style and his cheeky sense of humour make this training both powerful and enjoyable.

Hypnosis is so much more than I thought it was and as a therapist you will significantly improve your outcomes. The trip from Brisbane to Manly (Sydney) was well worth it. You will love this journey."Dr Lisa Phillips-LeeceClinical Psychologist & Clinical Hypnotherapist. Brisbane

“I consider myself privileged to have studied with Gordon (lead trainer AICH). His passion and his determination to make you as good as you can be is obvious. He really cares about your success, and will do whatever it takes to support you through the training.

To watch him work in real time with real issues is a pleasure. This is a brilliant art.”Dr Anna Cohen, Kids & Co. Clinical Psychology, Clinical Hypnotherapist

"This course is what learning is all about. It is extremely comprehensive and Gordon teaches a respect for the uniqueness of all individuals in the application of therapeutic hypnosis. Gordon's teaching style reflects an innate wisdom which allows you to expand to meet the many needs of your clients. It was such a joy and for me personally it was the piece that put the puzzle together."Bernadeta Canstell, Registered Nurse, Clinical Hypnotherapist

“What is obvious when you start to come in to the profession is that Gordon is the best in Australia.

As for this course, everybody’s experience was very positive. If you train with Gordon you are going to learn a lot and you will also laugh a lot.”Jennifer E Phillips, Counsellor

“Over the years, whilst practicing counselling in both the corporate world and more recently in welfare agencies, I have been searching for therapeutic models that might be more effective than the traditional psychotherapy models available. I found

them with the empowering combination of NLP practices and language, solution oriented psychotherapy and hypnotherapy offered by the AICH.

Gordon’s valuable experience, extensive tool kit and personal delivery make for a unique and inspiring learning journey. I believe training with the AICH equips one with the most advanced communication and interpersonal skills available and are beneficially applied to all areas of one’s life.“Rowan Hanley,Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist Member ASCH

“I did a lot of research before choosing the AICH. I was fortunate enough to know graduates from other schools, many of whom felt there were gaps in their training despite the courses being 12 months or longer.

What I learned was that Gordon (lead trainer) was so well known, and held in such high regard in the profession, that I had to look at the AICH. Once here I saw why! When giants of the field like Dr Michael Yapko refer to the prowess of your trainer you start to understand what a good decision you’ve made.

Even though I had no previous training in therapy I have found myself confident with the material and my ability to do this work. This is in no small part due to the engaging and supportive teaching style we experienced at the AICH.”Shelley Anderson, Former Long Haul Cabin Crew, Customer Service Manager

“This is a quality foundation for a career in hypnotherapy. I have done several courses with Gordon (lead trainer) in NLP and now in Hypnotherapy and I cannot recommend him enough.

There were psychologists and experienced counsellors in the group, but I did not feel disadvantaged because I don’t have a therapy background. The structure of the course allowed us all to progress together, and I know that I now have the skills to really make a difference in people’s lives.

My advice - just do it!”Miranda Rooney, Former General Manager, Fitness First

“Having undertaken various other courses , and in the light of interactions with colleagues who have undertaken their training at other schools. It is in my experience that, with Gordon, you get the most valuable, thorough, and effective training around today.

You will learn through practical experience by working with real people in real time... I personally know of schools whereby you learn from a book almost in a ‘teach yourself’ fashion, before getting proper guidance...

Be assured that on completion you are able to gain membership to the professional body, full insurance and fulfil all of the requirements to practice.

“To watch masters like Gordon (AICH Lead Trainer) and Dr Michael Yapko work is inspiring - you know you have witnessed something special.

The AICH teaches the latest techniques and introduced me to evidence-based approaches and effective treatments for my clients. The intelligent mix of theory and practical work provided me with a real depth of understanding in clinical hypnotherapy. This is a very professional course with a personal touch.”| Sarah Hensley, BA, Grad Dip Psychology, Grad Dip Psychotherapy & Counselling. Red Tent Health Centre. Woollahra

“From the moment you start, you know you are getting down to business. The organisation is very professional and the course material is polished and thorough.

The delivery is exceptional. The teaching/learning cycle is engaging and practical, and accommodates different styles of learning. What is overwhelmingly clear is that your trainers know what they are doing!

At the risk of being critical, I have to say I originally started with another VETAB accredited course, thinking it would be better, but was disappointed with the lack of congruence.

I switched quickly and I can tell you that I am so glad I did.

You don’t realise how good your training is until you meet students from other schools, hear their stories, and see their training gaps. If you want a career in Hypnotherapy, this is definitely the place to be!” Nina Alling, Social Worker, BA, Grad Dip Ed, Bachelor of Social Work

“I did not initially train with Gordon Young. I was seduced by the allure of a well promoted VETAB accreditation offered by another school, which in my estimate was more about gaining a marketing edge than a mark of professionalism.

I met Gordon through a friend and he generously invited me to sit in on his classes for a couple of days. Even though technically I was already qualified, I stayed! The difference in the quality of the training, the content and the delivery was immediately obvious. I filled in a lot of experiential gaps I still had even after 18 months of training.

It was practical, professional and fun. If I had my time over again, I would not hesitate. I would save my time and money and train with the Australian Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy.”Mark HutchensClinical Hypnotherapist

”I joined the hypnotherapy course in September 2013 at the behest of a fellow student at ACAP.

I was impressed with the fact that a seven month course in hypnotherapy would make me eligible for a provider number and private health rebates, something that is currently not available with

the post grad in counselling degree from ACAP.

I did not know what to expect from the hypnotherapy course. By day two of the first module I was blown away. My entire perception changed, thanks to the excellent course delivery by Gordon Young. It is engaging, informative, interactive and fun. The counselling course at ACAP was fantastic and I have had some awesome teachers, but hypnotherapy was life changing.Sherryl Rozario, Grad Dip Counselling

WANT TO HELP OTHERS? WANT TO EXPLORE FURTHER?

Option 1: Register for a Free AICH Information Evening In the lead up to a new course commmencing, we hold a number of free evenings in the Sydney CBD, usually at the Grace Hotel. This gives you a chance to get an overview of the field and a thorough understanding of our training specifically, as well as afford you an opportunity to ask your own ques-tions. You will also get a chance to meet at least one of our trainers and get a feel for our delivery style. Check our website for the date of our next free information evening.

Option 2: Make a Personal Appointment

If you can’t get to a free information evening, why not make a personal appointment to talk to us one on one? We encourage prospective students, especially those new to the field, to meet with our trainers and make their own assessments. Unfortunately, hypnotherapy is an unregulated field and there are vast differences in the qualifications, experience and expertise of the faculties of different schools, whether they are VETAB or otherwise. A face to face chat will quickly enable you to make the right choice.

Find out who will train you and ask them questions. What are their qualifications? Do they themselves run a successful practice? And how will they help you start your own practice? Do your homework and call our office for a personal appointment on 02 9977 7989. We are always happy to talk to you.
