Course review

"Having started the course with Talking Cures Training with no prior knowledge of hypnotherapy, I can honestly say that it has changed my life. Every single module was excellently taught by Alexia and Martin, both of whom have a wealth of experience in hypnotherapy, NLP and Shamanism. They made every single one of the students feel at home from the word go. I enjoyed the course so much that I have become a professional hypnotherapist myself. I would recommend Talking Cures Training to anyone who wants to learn the skills and techniques involved in hypnotherapy, NLP and Shamanic healing. Every single lesson involved a lot of practical work, backed up with excellent slides and presentations" Mark.

"As I was coming from a non counselling background, I wanted a course that catered for as wide a range of therapy topics as possible. Talking Cures exceeded this aspiration in every way. I have had doors opened to so many things, it's been a delight to start investigating future directions. The course covers all conceivable presenting problems and goes on to demonstrate many different ways of approaching them - from hypnotherapy, NLP, shamanic approaches and combinations of all three.

I found the delivery to be well paced and sympathetic the feelings of the group. In fact it was only looking back when I realised how much ground we had covered every weekend. The theory is interspersed with practical exercises and enlivened by many anecdotes and examples from the real world of counselling.the emphasis of the teaching is in the title of the course - quick, efficient cures for clients, not whys and wherefores. The client is then left empowered to go on with a life, armed with more choices than they thought possible.

If asked to sum up the course, I would describe it as a launch pad. A runway designed for students to take off in any direction they choose in the wide world of counselling. I would recommend it heartily to anyone considering taking up counselling, furthering their career or as wonderful self development."

Martin and Alexia brought their wide range of experience to the training, bringing each subject area to life and making it relevant to me. Their experience in fields broader than just hypnotherapy enabled them to provide a wide range of contexts and perspectives for the group to consider -- generating lively discussions and increasing my awareness of many of the issues I'm likely to meet in practice. Their supportive approach to training meant that I felt confident at the end of the course to go on to be a practitioner

I myself am still in the throes of setting up. Your training was really exceptional and thoroughly prepared us all for entering into the field of Hypnotherapy/NLP. I thought the balance of theory and practical was just right and, as experts in your field, you knew exactly when we needed a break from the theory to boost our energy. Needless to say I think we had one of the best teams regarding personality, life experience and motivation which helped everyone reach their goal. I have learned a great deal about Hypnotherapy, NLP, counselling and myself and still miss the fun and laughter we had on the course

It has been simply AMAZING - thank you so much

The course has been frankly spectacular - life-changing - a tremendous revelation - and something that I would never have wanted to miss

The difference that it has made to my own life is beyond words and I am truly grateful for all of the insightful teaching, the revelations, the expert guidance - the privilege of being able to be part of such an amazing group of thoughtful and talented people - and the fun!

It has been simply AMAZING - thank you so much

With much love

I miss the weekends with both of you and the other guys of course!
I am only to pleased to give my views on the course as it has been the most positive thing I
have ever done and has given me so much more confidence in my everyday life. A lot of people
I know have commented on how much I have changed for the best as a year ago I was feeling
very negative about life having lost my Dad and separating from my long term partner. I never dreamt
I would ever complete all that homework and at times it was hard doing it alongside my full time job but
you both gave me the determination to do it and when I received the certificates I knew it was worth every moment!
I have since started my business part time, I never thought I would see the day I would be working for myself and I hope in time it will become a full time career as i love working with people.
I think the whole course was ran so well and the two of you made it fun and so interesting as well as giving
us all a wealth of knowledge. The weekends flew by as it was so fascinating and I looked forward to every
month as I loved every subject we covered. I have no doubts that your new venture will be just as successful
and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to people and attending the ongoing CPD courses myself.
