📣 A little shout out to New Horizon Training Academy...

We feel really grateful for the lovely feedback following our recent Supporting OCD for Hypnotherapists Accredited CPD, delivered by Lisa Williams Edgar.

Lisa is the Founder and Director of New Horizon Training Academy, an Integrative and Clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP Practitioner, Supervisor and Senior Lecturer, and it means a great deal to see how the training is landing with those attending.

📣 Charlotte Grayson said:
"I think the course was fantastic. So much information, and Lisa was ALWAYS welcoming of questions and input from attendees. The small group size made the course feel very personal - I am already looking at what course I can attend next!"

It is always so important to create a space where people feel comfortable to ask, share, and learn together, and we are really pleased this came across.

If you missed this one, it is available again on Zoom on Friday 8th May. To look or book, please visit our website.

Keep an eye on the website as more will be added as we go forward.

📣 A huge shout out to Charlotte Spillane...

We are so proud to have Charlotte Spillane as part of the New Horizon Training Academy team.

Charlotte is a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Senior Lecturer and Trainer with NHTA, and this month she delivered a truly excellent Breathwork CPD Workshop.

Her teaching style, warmth, and ability to create a supportive learning space really shines through, and the feedback says it all:

Elaine Collins said:
"Excellent tutor and supportive small group.
I liked the structure and the opportunities to practice each technique. It will enhance the work I do with clients and my work with groups. I see a lot of people who are struggling with anxiety and poor sleep and this will allow me to show them more tools for their toolbox."

Gloria May said:
"Style of presentation was friendly and informative and a good example of best practice in speaking to clients - kind without being patronising and cheerful without being dismissive of pain in others. A great example to all participants."

Clare Hancock said:
"Charlotte was excellent, and I really enjoyed this cpd and found it very useful. Given lots of great techniques to use and good explanations as to why they work."

We are so proud to have Charlotte delivering this level of training and supporting our community of practitioners.

📣A huge shout out to Andy Workman - Mindset Specialist...

We are so proud to have Andy Workman as one of New Horizon Training Academy’s trainers.

Andy is an amazing hypnotherapist, author, inspirational speaker, and trainer, and over the past month alone he has delivered two exceptional CPD workshops for us - Mindset Mastery and Take the Fear out of Phobias for hypnotherapists and practitioners.

Both of these workshops are bookable throughout the year, and the next dates will be going onto the website soon.

The feedback has been absolutely fantastic, and so very well deserved:

Jeannette Markell said:
"really enjoyed Andy’s style of teaching – he was very relaxed and clearly knowledgeable about phobias. He made it easy to ask questions when we needed to and wasn’t rushing us along, even when we overran a bit."

Natalie Rice said:
"This is the best CPD I have ever done The amount of brain revision is absolutely amazing. Delivery is exceptional. This training was outstanding. I could do it again and again. I was captivated by Andy from start to finish. Everything was explained beautifully, The powerpoint was excellent. In every session I will use Andy's adapted brain revision."

Charlotte Spillane said:
"One of the best CPD I’ve been on! Practical applicable brain revision that I can use immediately"

Andy brings such warmth, knowledge, humour, and practical learning into the room, and we feel very lucky to have him as part of the team.

✨ 1 DAY TO GO – LAST CHANCE TO JOIN US ✨

If working with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or Pure-O is an area you’ve been meaning to feel more confident in… this is your gentle reminder.

Tomorrow, I will be delivering this accredited CPD workshop for hypnotherapists, and I would truly love to support more therapists in feeling clearer, more grounded, and more confident in this area of work.

Because OCD can be one of those presentations where, even with the best intentions, it is easy to feel unsure about what is most helpful.

This day has been created to give you practical, usable ways of working with:

• Intrusive thoughts
• Compulsions and urges
• Reassurance seeking
• Avoidance patterns
• Supporting clients without reinforcing the cycle

🗓 Tomorrow – Friday 27th March
⏰ 10:00 – 17:00
💻 Live on Zoom

You will also receive a pre-workshop workbook and a large, comprehensive post-workshop resource pack, so you are not left trying to remember everything afterwards.

This is accredited CPD, grounded in an integrative approach, bringing together hypnosis, neuroscience, NLP, and solution focused practice.

If you are one of my supervisees or an NCH member, please remember to use your discount code when booking, as this will no longer be active from April.

If it feels right for you, you would be so welcome to join us.

✨ 2 DAYS TO GO – ACCREDITED OCD CPD FOR HYPNOTHERAPISTS ✨
One of the trickiest things when working with OCD is this…

Sometimes the very thing that feels kind, calming, or reassuring in the moment can accidentally keep the cycle going.

And that can leave therapists feeling unsure.
Unsure what to say.
Unsure what to do.
Unsure how to help without making things worse.

That is exactly why I created this workshop.

On Friday, we will be looking at practical, grounded ways of working with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Pure-O, including:

• Intrusive thoughts
• Compulsions and urges
• Reassurance seeking
• Avoidance patterns
• How to support clients without feeding the cycle

🗓 Friday 27th March
⏰ 10:00 – 17:00
💻 Live on Zoom

You will also receive a pre-workshop workbook before the day and a comprehensive resource pack afterwards, so you leave with something solid to keep and use in practice.

This is accredited CPD, grounded in an integrative approach, bringing together hypnosis, neuroscience, NLP, and solution focused practice.

If you are one of my supervisees or an NCH member, please remember to use your discount code at booking, as this will no longer be active from April.

No pressure at all, just have a look and see if it feels right for you:

✨ 3 DAYS TO GO – ACCREDITED OCD CPD FOR HYPNOTHERAPISTS ✨

One of the key shifts we explore on Friday is this:
Intrusive thoughts, even when they feel distressing or completely out of character, are far more common than we often realise.

In OCD, it is not simply the thought itself that creates the difficulty, but the meaning given to it, and the way the person feels they must respond to it, that keeps the cycle going.

If you are a hypnotherapist and working with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) or Pure-O ever leaves you wondering if you are approaching it in the right way…

This day will give you clear, practical ways of working that you can begin using immediately with your clients.

🗓 Friday 27th March
⏰ 10:00 – 17:00
💻 Live on Zoom

You will receive a pre-workshop workbook to guide your thinking before the day, and a comprehensive resource pack afterwards to support your client work going forward.

Accredited CPD, grounded in an integrative approach, bringing together hypnosis, neuroscience, NLP, and solution focused practice.

If you are one of my supervisees or an NCH member, please remember your discount code when booking, as this will no longer be active from April.

✨ ONE WEEK TO GO – Supporting OCD CPD for Hypnotherapists ✨

A week today, we’ll be coming together for a really valuable training day…

Supporting OCD: Clinical Techniques for Hypnotherapists

🗓 Friday 27th March
⏰ 10:00 – 17:00 BST
💻 Live on Zoom
💷 £125

If you are working with, or plan to work with, clients presenting with OCD or Pure-O, this is a day that will gently support your confidence, clarity, and clinical approach.

This training has been carefully designed to sit comfortably within an integrative hypnotherapy framework, bringing together neuroscience, evidence-informed models, hypnosis, NLP, and solution focused approaches in a way that feels grounded, ethical, and practical.

We will be exploring how to work with:
• Intrusive thoughts and mental rituals
• Reassurance seeking and avoidance patterns
• Urges, compulsions, and fear cycles
• Client resistance and ambivalence
• Relapse prevention and longer-term change

And importantly, how to do this without collusion, without confrontation, and without increasing distress.

You will leave with:
• Clear, structured ways of working with OCD and Pure-O
• Practical tools you can use immediately with clients
• Language patterns that reduce threat and support client choice
• Confidence in knowing what to do, and what not to do
• A full CPD learning pack, resources, and certificate

This is a full and supportive day of learning, with real clinical examples, demonstrations, and space to deepen your understanding.

If this is an area you’ve been wanting to feel more confident in, you would be so welcome.
