Thames Valley University

We are pleased to announce our collaborative partnership with Thames Valley University in respect of LCCH courses in Clinical Hypnosis.

TVU has over 140 years experience as a higher education learning provider in both the technical and vocational arena as a college of Higher education, a polytechnic and a University (1992).

From March 2008 the LCCH Certificate course has been validated as a Certificate in Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) in Clinical Hypnosis at Level 6. The LCCH and TVU are offering the CPPD in Clinical Hypnosis as an entry point qualification for a postgraduate programme leading towards a Masters degree in Clinical Hypnosis.

From October 2008 the LCCH Diploma Course has been validated as a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Hypnosis. Students successfully completing this course will be awarded a Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert) in Clinical Hypnosis.

From October 2008 the LCCH Practitioner Course and the LCCH Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy Course has been validated as a CPPD in Practitioner Studies and a CPPD in Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy. Students successfully completing both these CPPDs will be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma (PgDip) in Clinical Hypnosis.

Students successfully completing the PGDip will be eligible to enrol in the Masters of Science (MSc) in Clinical Hypnosis programme which will consist of a Research Methods module and a dissertation relevant to Clinical Hypnosis.

Prior LCCH students and students from other hypnotherapy training programmes are eligible to transfer in to the TVU programme as TVU students by successfully completing the appropriate bridging/conversion courses.

Currently no other hypnotherapy training organisation can offer students a University validated programme of study leading to a postgraduate qualification. Our collaborative partnership with Thames Valley University is a significant step forward in our commitment to providing the highest quality training for those wishing to study Clinical Hypnosis whilst at the same time providing a higher education qualification that is recognised and trusted at the national and international level by both the established medical professions and the general public alike.
