The Clinical Course leads to three different Certificate of Advanced Clinical Hypnosis CBT-FPS Courses and a Single or One Day Mental Health Module CBT-FPS.
All training includes the Focussed Psychological Strategies which are required and important for psychologists who provide Medicare FPS related, mental health care item number services. Please note that the hypnosis component of the training is adjunctive to the CBT and FPS components which form the foundation platform for the use of hypnosis, and that hypnotherapy is not an FPS per se.
Thousands of nationally AHPRA registered health professionals trained. Most participants are psychologists, medical practitioners, mental health AASW registered social workers and mental health nurses, and also include general nurses, midwives, dentists, OTs and other AHPRA registered health professionals
Completion of the Clinical Certificate Course and any one of the three different Advanced Clinical Certificates and a further Single Day Module leads to the Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis (CBT-FPS) and then to the Diploma of Advanced Clinical Hypnosis (CBT-FPS).
The One Day Mental Health Module does not include formal hypnosis and contains one LM. The Advanced Clinical Courses each contain 6 one day Learning Modules. The Advanced Clinical Courses are available to graduates of the Certificate of Clinical Hypnosis (CBT-FPS) Courses. Eligible health professionals who are non-CMH graduates can attend the first Module (day) of any of the Clinical Courses as a Single Mental Health Module or can attend a stand alone Single Mental Health Module.
