Excellent CPD. Has hugely helped me feel confident to use hypnotherapy in a group setting.
Jo is an excellent teacher and guided us expertly through the course. The explanations were very clear and there were many opportunities to expand on the topics with discussion and practical activities. I would not hesitate to recommend attending Jo’s training.
Really informative training. Jo is very knowledgable and welcoming. The group was lovely and content was comprehensive and appropriate.
