Start Free TrialMaster Spiritual Hypnotherapist Programme & Trance Tribe Membership
Foundation, Certified and Practitioner Diploma Training in Clinical and Spiritual Hypnotherapy, with Training Days, Supervision and Ongoing Community Support
Welcome to the complete Master Spiritual Hypnotherapist Programme and Trance Tribe Membership, a flexible, supported learning pathway that brings together the clinical foundations of modern hypnotherapy with the symbolic, intuitive and esoteric dimensions of spiritual practice.
For £95 per month, your membership includes the complete training journey, beginning with the Foundation in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Spiritual Practice and progressing through to the full Master Spiritual Hypnotherapist qualification.
You will also receive access to our practical training days, weekly masterclasses, practice spaces, professional peer supervision, mentoring, specialist resources, learning retreats, annual convention and the wonderfully supportive Trance Tribe community.
This is not simply an online course. It is an immersive personal and professional journey designed to help you develop strong clinical skills, deepen your spiritual awareness and learn how to support clients without imposing your own beliefs or interpretations.
Who Is This Programme For?
This programme is ideal for:
Complete beginners beginning their hypnotherapy journey
Qualified hypnotherapists wishing to develop a spiritual specialism
Counsellors, coaches and complementary practitioners
Energy workers, healers and intuitive practitioners
Meditation, breathwork and wellbeing professionals
Anyone drawn to exploring the relationship between hypnosis, spirituality and consciousness
You do not need any previous experience in hypnotherapy. Your learning begins with the essential clinical foundations before progressing gradually into spiritual, symbolic and esoteric applications.
Your Complete Membership Pathway
Your membership includes both the Foundation and advanced Master Spiritual Hypnotherapist stages of your training.
Stage One: Foundation in Clinical Hypnotherapy and Spiritual Practice
You will begin by developing a strong understanding of hypnosis, trance and ethical therapeutic practice.
The Foundation stage includes:
The history and principles of hypnosis
The conscious and subconscious mind
Hypnotic inductions and deepening techniques
Suggestibility and responsiveness
Therapeutic language and the power of suggestion
Relaxation, confidence and emotional empowerment
Professional ethics, consent and appropriate boundaries
Person-centred consultation and objective setting
Meeting and connecting with the Higher Self
Establishing your personal spiritual objectives
Exploring intuition and inner awareness
Integrating spiritual perspectives without imposing belief
Upon successful completion of the Foundation requirements, you will receive your Foundation Certificate in Clinical Hypnotherapy.
This standalone qualification provides the clinical and ethical grounding required before progressing into the more advanced spiritual and esoteric elements of the programme.
Stage Two: Master Spiritual Hypnotherapist Training
Your learning then develops into a rich exploration of spiritual hypnotherapy, symbolic transformation and intuitive practice.
You will discover how hypnosis can help clients explore experiences through their own spiritual beliefs, language and understanding—while keeping their autonomy, consent and personal objectives at the centre of every session.
Spiritual Regression and Transformational Techniques
You will explore a wide collection of therapeutic approaches, including:
Age regression and Affect Bridge work
Timeline exploration
Spiritual regression
Past-life regression
Life-between-lives frameworks
Higher Self connection
Spirit-guide and inner-wisdom work
Soul-purpose exploration
Ancestral and symbolic healing
Vows, promises and perceived energetic agreements
Soul retrieval as a spiritual and symbolic practice
Parts work and inner-child exploration
Archetypal and metaphorical transformation
These experiences are always approached through the client’s own beliefs and understanding. The practitioner does not present spiritual interpretations as proven facts or decide what an experience means on the client’s behalf.
Higher Consciousness and Spiritual Awakening
You will learn how to support clients who wish to explore:
Their relationship with their Higher Self
A personal understanding of a Higher Power
Spiritual guides or sources of inner wisdom
Meaning, purpose and spiritual direction
Intuition and deeper self-awareness
Experiences of spiritual awakening
Connection, belonging and expanded consciousness
The relationship between mind, body, energy and spirit
Rather than leading clients towards a predetermined belief, you will learn to ask clear, non-directive questions that help them uncover their own meaning.
Past-Life and Spiritual Regression
Past-life and spiritual regression can create powerful opportunities for personal insight, symbolic exploration and emotional transformation.
You will learn how to guide these experiences ethically while remaining open to the different ways a client may understand what emerges. An experience may be interpreted as a past-life memory, spiritual encounter, subconscious metaphor, archetypal narrative or imaginative representation.
The client determines the meaning.
Your role is to facilitate the process with curiosity, professional boundaries and respect for their personal worldview.
Energy, Symbolism and Esoteric Practice
The programme also introduces approaches drawn from spiritual, energetic and esoteric traditions.
You may explore:
Energetic awareness and perceived blocks
Chakra and subtle-energy frameworks
Symbolic cleansing and release
Spiritual protection and boundaries
Archetypal psychology
Ritual, intention and sacred symbolism
Compassionate inner-child work
Shadow exploration and integration
Connection with Source or divine wisdom
Spiritual values and purposeful living
These approaches are held as experiential and spiritual frameworks rather than medical or scientific claims. You will learn how to use them responsibly, with the client’s informed consent and in alignment with their chosen beliefs.
Client Sovereignty and Ethical Intuitive Practice
Spiritual practice requires strong ethical foundations.
Throughout your training, you will learn how to explore intuitive impressions without allowing practitioner assumptions, beliefs or ego to direct the client’s journey.
This includes:
Clean and non-directive questioning
Establishing precise, client-led objectives
Using the client’s own language and metaphors
Gaining consent before introducing spiritual approaches
Separating intuition from fact
Avoiding suggestion, spiritual authority and dependency
Recognising the boundaries of your competence
Knowing when to refer or seek additional professional support
Using supervision to explore ethical uncertainty
Maintaining client sovereignty throughout every session
The client remains the authority on their own experience. You are not there to tell them what their path means—you are there to help them explore it for themselves.
Practical Training and Trance Tribe Membership
Learning spiritual hypnotherapy involves far more than reading scripts or watching recorded lessons. You need opportunities to experience the work, practise the techniques, receive feedback and reflect on your own responses.

Your spiritual values and objectives
Your relationship with intuition
Your beliefs about healing and transformation
Your personal boundaries
The difference between guidance and projection
Your emerging identity as a spiritual practitioner
How to work with compassion without taking responsibility for another person’s journey
The purpose is not to teach you what to believe. It is to help you understand your own spiritual philosophy while ensuring that your practice remains open, respectful and centred upon each individual client.
