Background to College

The College was founded by Hazel Thomson  who has woven her valuable insights and 25 years of clinical practice into the comprehensive training manual. Following a psychology degree, Hazel graduated from the London College of Clinical Hypnosis in 1995 and further trained in Counselling, NLP, EFT, Deep State Re-patterning, Career Coaching and Theta Healing. Amongst the many contributors to her learning experience were; Ernest Rossi, David Grove, Tim Hallbom, Suzi Smith, Tania Prince and Jennifer Main.  Hazel lives in Appleby, Cumbria where she sees clients and delivers EMDR and CPD courses.  Hazel oversees MCCH ensuring the College upholds best practice as well as maintaining the course notes; keeping them up to date and fresh.

Andy Griffiths delivers training in Greater Glasgow from a state of the art training facility in Carmyle as well as running his own busy private practice. This means that MCCH has its own training centre in Scotland that offers both face to face tuition as well as remote learning.  Andy is a graduate of MCCH but has previously completed a number of hypnotherapy courses including training in Canada. His specialist area is Anxiety disorders and  he has created an online facility called ‘Anxiety Unplugged’ so that his support can be readily available  and far- reaching. Andy is also a business man and has expertise in setting up and running his own company; an events and media organisation.  This background and knowledge is invaluable to students who want to know more about how to run a successful small business.

I found the hypnotherapy course invaluable in my personal development. The course content was excellent and more comprehensive than I had imagined. All the course work was presented in a very user-friendly yet effective manner however the real strength of the course lies in the presentation and communication skills of Hazel Thomson. Her engaging style and great enthusiasm helped me to really understand the topics and gavem me the confidence to carry what I have learned through into my professional practice. To summarise, this course equipped me to enhance my business not to mention my earnings.

I’ve been meaning to drop you a note for ages to say a huge thank you for my certificate. It arrived a couple of weeks ago and of all the certificates I have (including the one I’ve just received from Mr Bandler) it’s the one I’m most proud of. Many thanks for conceiving, tailoring & delivering such a fantastic course. It was a real pleasure spending time with you & I look forward to meeting you again some time in the future.

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for your support through out your course. Your style of training is very conducive to allowing people to learn by their mistakes and to grow from them. I enjoyed the course very much. They are a great group of people and I feel revitalised,motivated and have a new belief in myself that I can work through any problem or obstacle to enable me to change my life for the better. You are a great example of ‘Paying it forward’.
