CPD Event title: HypnoSomnia: Hypnotherapy for Sleep Practitioner Training
Brief Description Of Event:
Live Zoom Workshop
9.30am-4.30pm
9th November 2025
Are you ready to help clients overcome one of the most common yet debilitating challenges they face? Sleep difficulties affect millions, and there are many different reasons why people can’t sleep – from racing thoughts and physical tension to trauma responses, hormonal changes, chronic pain, sleep phase disorders, and deeply ingrained patterns of hypervigilance. HypnoSomnia equips you with specialized skills to address this wide spectrum of sleep disorders, insomnia, and sleep-related challenges through evidence-based hypnotherapeutic techniques. Many hypnotherapists think that helping clients sleep is about encouraging relaxation and good sleep hygiene and, whilst these aspects are important, this course covers techniques including directed dreaming, dream dissociation and mindfulness directed sleep approaches – all of which are evidence based and can help clients with a range of different sleep issues.
Course Structure:
During the live workshop, you’ll have a chance not only to learn about sleep issues and the extensive research that shows how effective hypnotherapy is as a treatment option for sleep issues, you’ll also have the chance to put into practice the tools and techniques you’ll be using with your own clients.
In addition, you’ll have access to extensive online materials, so that you can revisit the course whenever you wish to. Your online resources include videos, client forms, resources, handouts, scripts, marketing materials and HypnoSomnia logo. You’ll have lifetime access to these materials so that you can revisit them as you gain confidence in this area.
