Meet your instructor:
Brenda Reilly
Before training as a hypnotherapist, I worked as a Medical Scientist for over twenty years in Irish Hospital Laboratories, which instilled a value for structure, clarity, and responsible practice.
My journey into Hypnotherapy was shaped by lived experience – ill health, loss, and career changes which taught me that lasting change often requires more than willpower.
I have completed the triple Diploma in Hypnotherapy, Mind Coaching and Online therapy, and more recently the Advanced Practitioner Diploma in Healing Trauma through Hypnosis. I am certified and registered with the General Hypnotherapy Register as an advanced Hypnotherapy Practitioner.
I now teach what I practice.
The Diploma reflects the tools that supported both my professional and personal development.
The focus is steady, structured, and a realistic approach to professional development.
Next step
You have two options:
- Book a call with Brenda to see if Hypnotherapy training is right for you
- Secure your place by paying the early bird deposit.
This is a professional commitment.
It starts with a clear decision and I'm here to help you make that.
