Our Standards in Hypnotherapy Training
In an industry where training can take four days, we chose the path that took a decade.
Why Standards Matter
Not all training is created equal. In some places you can call yourself a hypnotherapist after a long weekend. That does a disservice to the people who come to us for help, and to the practitioners who take this work seriously.
What Was I exists because there is a better way. A training pathway built not to meet the minimum standard, but to prepare you for real practice — with real people, real questions, and the depth that this work demands.
Every course we offer is designed with one question in mind: does this prepare someone to sit with a client and guide them well? If the answer is not an unequivocal yes, we go deeper.
Our Training Rigour
Learn Hypnosis
2–3 weeks, self-paced. An introduction to the core principles of hypnosis, trance, and suggestion. The first step, not the last.
Clinical Hypnotherapy
3–4 weeks. Builds on the foundations with therapeutic frameworks, session structure, and the clinical skills that turn theory into practice.
PLR Certification
6–8 weeks. Our flagship programme. Comprehensive training in past life regression therapy — from advanced hypnotic technique to supervised practice.
Complete Pathway: All three programmes combined with mentor support throughout. From beginner to qualified practitioner, with guidance at every stage.
How We Train
Ethical clarity. We teach a clear scope of practice, informed consent, and the professional boundaries that protect both practitioner and client.
Evidence grounded. Our curriculum draws on established research in hypnosis and psychology. We teach what works, not what sounds impressive.
Mentored, not just instructed. Recorded modules paired with live Zoom practice sessions. You are not left to figure this out alone.
Ongoing support. Training does not end at certification. Graduates join the Practitioner Circle — continuing case consultation, peer supervision, and professional development.
Train with Depth. Practise with Purpose.
Not because it is the easy path. Because it is the right one.
