Please check the course providers’ websites to ensure they offer what you are looking for to meet your own requirements and goals.
UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy
The UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy course is designed both for those needing to deliver stress management training to their companies and for individual therapists looking to add to their skillset. This evidence-based stress management course will provide a strong foundation and skillset for helping clients or employees with stress management and resilience-building. There are webcast and online training options.
The course also has ISMAUK Course Recognition status, with the added benefit of a discount on joining ISMAUK. Ts & Cs apply.

Premier Life Skills
Premier Life Skills offer two diplomas that will meet our guidelines. The prime one is the Level 5 Diploma in Mental Health and Wellbeing Awareness which covers a lot more aspects around mental health than the Diploma in Wellbeing and Stress Management. Please speak to Jane if you need further clarification on the one that will best suit your needs.
Obtaining either of these diplomas means you will be eligible for ISMAUK Professional Membership and will have the ability to work with individuals, groups and organisations.

Centre for Stress Management
Professor Stephen Palmer’s Centre for Stress Management has a Primary Certificate in Stress Management course that will provide the required level of certification for ISMAUK Professional Membership and for individual training but won’t provide organisational stress management training.
However, there are a number of additional modules and options available that can build towards achieving higher levels if you need that option, which will then allow you also to work with groups and organisations. Please speak to Tracy White or Peter Ruddell to discuss which options will suit your needs.
