The Horizon Center School of Hypnotherapy
Professional Online Hypnotherapy Training
Learn to think like an experienced hypnotherapist through a comprehensive, self-paced training built on more than 25 years of real clinical practice.
Are you thinking about becoming a hypnotherapist?
Perhaps you've experienced hypnotherapy yourself and saw the difference it can make.
Maybe you're already a coach, counsellor, therapist, social worker, or intuitive practitioner looking for a way to help clients create deeper, lasting change.
Or maybe you're simply looking for meaningful work that allows you to make a real difference in people's lives.
Whatever brought you here, welcome.
The Horizon Center offers comprehensive online hypnotherapy training designed to help you become a confident, thoughtful practitioner who understands how the subconscious mind actually works. Unlike many online programs that focus primarily on scripts and techniques, you'll learn how to think through a session and adapt your work to the individual sitting in front of you.
This isn't a course built around memorizing scripts or collecting techniques.
It's a professional training program that teaches you how to think through a session, understand why symptoms develop, and adapt your approach to the unique person sitting in front of you.
You'll learn Whole Brain Hypnotherapy, a client-centered approach that combines conscious understanding with effective subconscious change work.
Rather than relying on one-size-fits-all techniques, you'll develop the skills to assess each client individually, understand the function of their symptoms, and choose interventions that fit the person rather than forcing the person to fit the technique.
The core curriculum is completely self-paced, allowing you to learn on your own schedule without sacrificing depth or quality.
If you'd like additional support, you can also participate in optional live workshops, Ask Me Anything sessions, Supervised Practice Labs, the Inside the Session Lab, one on one private training support and ongoing mentoring that help you develop confidence through practice, observation, and feedback.
Whether your goal is to begin a new career, add hypnotherapy to an existing practice, or simply gain a deeper understanding of the subconscious mind, this training provides the knowledge, clinical reasoning, and practical skills needed to work confidently and ethically with clients.
If you're curious whether this approach is right for you, you're invited to explore the first two units of the training at no cost. It's the best way to experience my teaching style, the depth of the material, and the way I approach hypnotherapy before deciding whether to continue.

Why Learn Hypnotherapy at Horizon Center?
There are many ways to learn hypnotherapy online.
Some programs focus on techniques.
Others teach scripts to memorize or a collection of methods to use with different problems.
While those approaches can be helpful, they often leave new practitioners wondering what to do when a real client doesn't follow the script.
That's the gap this training was created to fill.
After more than 25 years in clinical practice, I've learned that successful hypnotherapy isn't about having the perfect technique.
It's about understanding the person in front of you.
Every client brings a different history, different experiences, different beliefs, and a different reason their subconscious developed the pattern they're struggling with today.
Two people may come in with the same symptom, yet require completely different approaches because the subconscious is responding to entirely different life experiences.
That's why I don't believe hypnotherapy can be reduced to formulas or scripts.
Instead, I teach students how to think through a session.
You'll learn how to ask better questions, recognize meaningful patterns, understand why symptoms formed, and develop hypnotic arguments that make sense for the individual client rather than relying on generic suggestions.
Throughout the program, you'll be encouraged to think critically, stay curious, and adapt your work to each person you meet.
My goal isn't to create practitioners who simply know techniques.
It's to help you become someone who understands how the subconscious works and can confidently apply that understanding in real client sessions.
I also believe people learn best by seeing how theory translates into practice.
That's why this training goes far beyond recorded lessons.
Through real client consultations, hypnosis sessions, optional live workshops, mentoring, and the Inside the Session Lab, you'll have opportunities to see the decision-making process behind the work, not just the outcome.
Whether you eventually work with anxiety, confidence, habits, performance, relationships, or something entirely different, the principles you learn here will give you a framework you can adapt throughout your career.
Hypnotherapy continues to evolve because every client teaches us something new.
I want you to leave this training with more than knowledge.
I want you to leave with the ability to think clearly, adapt confidently, and continue growing long after you've completed the curriculum.
Learning Hypnotherapy Online Is More Than Watching Videos
Learning hypnotherapy isn't just about understanding hypnosis.
It's about learning how to listen, how to recognize patterns, how to organize information, and how to make thoughtful clinical decisions based on the person sitting in front of you.
Those are skills that develop over time.
Reading about consultations isn't the same as conducting one.
Watching someone create a hypnotic argument isn't the same as learning to build one yourself.
Understanding the structure of a hypnosis session isn't the same as confidently adapting that structure when a client responds in an unexpected way.
That's why this training is designed as more than a collection of lessons.
The curriculum gives you a strong conceptual foundation, but it doesn't stop there.
As your understanding grows, you'll have opportunities to watch real client work, practice with other students, receive feedback, ask questions, and continue developing your skills through optional live learning experiences.
Instead of expecting you to know everything before working with another person,
the program helps you build confidence one step at a time.
Each stage prepares you for the next.
You begin by understanding the principles.
Then you learn to apply them.
Eventually, you begin thinking like a practitioner rather than someone who is simply following a process.
That's the difference between learning about hypnotherapy and learning how to practice it.
What is Whole Brain Hypnotherapy?
Most hypnotherapy training focuses almost entirely on the subconscious mind.
Students learn how to induce hypnosis, deliver suggestions, and guide clients through imagery and visualization.
Those are valuable skills.
But after working with thousands of clients over more than twenty-five years, I noticed something.
Sometimes a beautifully delivered hypnosis session created lasting change.
Sometimes it didn't.
The difference often wasn't the quality of the hypnosis.
It was whether the client's conscious and subconscious mind were in agreement.
If the subconscious accepted a new idea but the logical mind quietly rejected it, change often felt temporary or incomplete.
If the conscious mind understood the problem but the subconscious continued running the old protective strategy, insight alone wasn't enough to create lasting change.
Whole Brain Hypnotherapy was developed to bring both systems into alignment.
Before asking the subconscious to change, we first help the conscious mind understand why the pattern developed, why it made sense at the time, and why it no longer serves the client today.
That understanding becomes the foundation for hypnosis rather than something separate from it.
Instead of relying on suggestion alone, students learn how to build logical, individualized hypnotic arguments that reduce internal resistance before suggestion is ever introduced.
Once both the conscious and subconscious mind are working toward the same outcome, imagery, visualization, and suggestion become much more effective because they are reinforcing understanding rather than trying to replace it.
The result is a structured approach that respects the intelligence of both systems.
It doesn't try to overpower the subconscious.
It helps update it.
That's the foundation of Whole Brain Hypnotherapy, and it's the approach you'll learn throughout this training.
Learn to Think Like an Experienced Hypnotherapist
One of the biggest challenges new hypnotherapists face isn't learning how to hypnotize someone.
It's knowing what to do once the conversation begins.
A client mentions something unexpected during the consultation.
A symptom doesn't seem to fit the story they're telling.
The goal they came in with changes halfway through the session.
A memory surfaces that you weren't anticipating.
Those moments don't come with instructions.
They require you to think.
That's why this training focuses on developing clinical reasoning, not just teaching techniques.
Throughout the program, you'll learn how to organize information, recognize meaningful patterns, decide what matters, and build sessions that make sense for the individual sitting in front of you.
Instead of asking, "Which script should I use?"
You'll begin asking questions like:
What is this symptom accomplishing?
Why would the subconscious continue producing this response?
Which experiences shaped this belief?
What evidence does the subconscious need before it's willing to update that belief?
Those questions lead to more thoughtful sessions and more personalized work.
You'll also learn how to:
• Conduct consultations with purpose rather than simply gathering information.
• Organize what you learn into a clear framework that helps guide your decisions.
• Create personalized hypnotic arguments instead of relying on generic suggestions.
• Adapt your approach when new information changes your understanding of the client.
• Continue thinking throughout the session rather than following a fixed plan.
By the time you've completed the training, my hope isn't simply that you'll know more about hypnosis.
It's that you'll approach every client with curiosity, confidence, and a way of thinking that allows you to understand the person before deciding how to help them.
Because that's what experienced hypnotherapists do.
They don't rely on memorized answers.
They know how to ask better questions.
A Learning Experience That Grows With You
Learning hypnotherapy isn't something that happens all at once.
It develops through study, observation, practice, feedback, and experience.
That's why Horizon Center offers more than a self-paced curriculum.
As your knowledge grows, you'll have opportunities to deepen your understanding, ask questions, practise your skills, receive personalized guidance, and learn from real client work.
You can participate as much or as little as you'd like.
Some students complete only the self-paced training.
Others choose to continue developing their skills through live learning experiences and ongoing support.
Whatever your path, you'll always have opportunities to keep learning.
Self-Paced Professional Training
Build a strong foundation at your own pace through comprehensive online lessons that teach you the principles, techniques, and clinical thinking behind Whole Brain Hypnotherapy.
Perfect if you want the flexibility to study when it fits your schedule without sacrificing depth.
Live Workshops
Practice is where confidence begins.
Our live workshops allow you to watch demonstrations, practise techniques with other students,
receive feedback, and build your skills in a supportive learning environment.
Ask Me Anything Sessions
Sometimes you simply need to ask a question.
Bring client situations, questions about the curriculum, business challenges,
or anything else related to your development as a hypnotherapist.
These sessions give you direct access to my experience while allowing you to learn from the questions other students are asking as well.
Supervised Practice Lab
One of the biggest steps in learning hypnotherapy is moving from theory to working with real people.
The Supervised Practice Lab was created to make that transition easier.
Over four weeks, you'll be paired with another student and take turns acting as practitioner and client while conducting a consultation followed by three hypnosis sessions.
Between sessions, you'll organize your findings using the ABC framework, develop personalized hypnotic arguments, and receive guidance and feedback to strengthen your clinical thinking and build confidence before working with volunteers or paying clients.
Inside the Session Lab
Watching an experienced practitioner think through a case can be just as valuable as conducting one yourself.
In the Inside the Session Lab, you'll observe an entire client series, beginning with the initial consultation and continuing through each hypnosis session.
You'll learn not only what I do, but why I make each decision, how my understanding evolves as new information emerges, and how I adapt my approach throughout the process.
Private Training Support
Sometimes the most valuable learning happens one conversation at a time.
Private Training Support gives you dedicated one-on-one time with me to focus on whatever will help you most.
Whether you'd like feedback on a consultation, help developing a hypnotic argument, guidance with an ABC chart, demonstrations of specific techniques, or support preparing to work with clients, each session is personalized to your goals and where you are in the training.
Memberships
Every student learns differently.
Some are happy working through the self-paced curriculum on their own.
Others want as much live learning as possible.
If you're someone who enjoys asking questions, participating in discussions, watching demonstrations, learning from real client work, and staying connected with other practitioners, a membership is an affordable way to expand your learning experience while you're completing the training.
Practice Membership
Designed for students and practitioners who want ongoing live learning and a supportive professional community.
Your membership includes:
Ask Me Anything sessions
Monthly workshops
Inside the Session Lab
Replay library
Teaching notes
Priority topic suggestions
It's an excellent way to continue reinforcing what you're learning while building confidence through observation, discussion, and practice.
Premium Membership
For students who would like an even more personalized learning experience.
The Premium Membership includes everything in the Practice Membership, along with 90 minutes of private one-on-one mentoring with me each month.
It's ideal if you'd like individualized guidance, feedback on your work, help developing hypnotic arguments, support with client situations, or simply the opportunity to accelerate your learning with regular one-on-one coaching.
Flexible Learning so you get what you want
One of the advantages of this flexible learning model is that you can continue building your skills long after you've completed the core curriculum. Students who choose to participate in workshops, Supervised Practice Labs, the Inside the Session Lab, Ask Me Anything sessions, Private Training Support, and mentoring can accumulate even more live learning and supervised practice than students received when I taught this program entirely in person.
Why I Teach This Way
When I began practicing hypnotherapy in 1999, I had no idea I would eventually spend as much time teaching as I did working with clients.
Like many practitioners, I started by learning techniques, studying different approaches, and trying to understand why some sessions created lasting change while others didn't.
The more clients I worked with, the more questions I had.
Over time, I began noticing patterns that weren't being explained in traditional training.
People with the same symptom often needed completely different approaches because the beliefs and experiences underneath those symptoms were different.
Those observations eventually became the foundation of Whole Brain Hypnotherapy and continue to shape the way I teach today.
Teaching has been an important part of my life for many years.
My background in education taught me that people learn best when they understand why they're doing something, have opportunities to practise, receive thoughtful feedback, and develop the confidence to think for themselves.
That's why Horizon Center is much more than a collection of recorded lessons.
Every workshop, practice lab, client demonstration, teaching note, and membership was created to help students bridge the gap between understanding hypnosis and becoming confident practitioners.
My goal has never been simply to teach techniques.
It's to help students understand the subconscious deeply enough that they can think through each client session with confidence, curiosity, and compassion.
If that's the kind of hypnotherapist you want to become, I'd be honored to help you learn.

Is This Training Right for You?
One of the questions I'm asked most often is whether someone needs previous experience before learning hypnotherapy.
The answer is no.
Some of my students come to Horizon Center with backgrounds in coaching, counselling, psychology, social work, nursing, massage therapy, or other helping professions. They're looking for another way to help the people they already work with.
Others are starting something completely new.
They simply have a genuine interest in the subconscious mind and a desire to help people create meaningful change.
Both can do well here.
What matters most isn't your professional background.
It's your willingness to stay curious, think critically, and see each client as an individual rather than trying to fit them into a formula.

Would like to add hypnotherapy to an existing practice.

Appreciate learning the reasoning behind what you're doing.
Value ethical, individualized client care.
