This CPD focuses on understanding the birthing process and modern birth culture, helping you support clients in developing a calmer, more natural and empowered view of childbirth.

During this CPD, we will explore the basic anatomy and physiology of pregnancy and labour, including the important role that fear and anxiety can play in the experience of pain during childbirth.

As hypnotherapists, helping clients reduce anxiety and build confidence is at the heart of what we do. This training will give you the knowledge and confidence to work effectively with pregnant clients, enabling you to make a meaningful and positive difference to their pregnancy and birth experience.

We will discuss how hypnotherapy can support a calmer pregnancy and birth, and how it may also positively influence early bonding between parent and baby.

You will also learn practical techniques that can be used within the therapy room, as well as strategies that clients can practise themselves throughout pregnancy and during the birthing process.

This CPD enhances your understanding of perinatal mental health, pregnancy loss, and birth trauma, providing the confidence to support clients facing these complex and sensitive issues.

Mental Health during Pregnancy and the Postnatal period (known as Perinatal Mental Health) is an emotive and complex topic which is not limited to Women. Antenatal anxiety and depression and other complex mental health issues, can occur spontaneously or as part of previous mental health issues, and the ability to help women during pregnancy will benefit them postnatally and into the rest of their lives and their relationship with their baby.

Helping women with Postnatal Depression, OCD, Pregnancy Loss, Birth Trauma and PTSD is hugely rewarding, whether it is relatively soon after the birth of their child or many years later. This CPD is delivered in conjunction with Jen’s Working with Women CPD or as a standalone CPD.

During this CPD, you will learn how Birth Trauma occurs and how Pregnancy loss can be handled with care and respect. Providing support for partners is also essential, and during this CPD, we also look at Non-Birthing partners with Postnatal Depression and Birth Trauma PTSD and support them as Hypnotherapists.

This CPD aims to enable you to adapt the IC by providing background information on perinatal mental health, guidance on how to support during sessions, and strategies for tailoring your marketing to women and their partners.

This CPD supports clients facing emotional and psychological challenges of conception difficulties, for couples, solo parents, same-sex couples, and both male and female fertility.

This Fertility CPD for Hypnotherapists is designed to help practitioners confidently support clients who are navigating the emotional and physical challenges of trying to conceive. The training explores the benefits of hypnotherapy in supporting fertility, helping clients reduce stress and gently restore the mind–body balance needed for conception. You will gain a deeper understanding of the emotional impact of the Trying to Conceive (TTC) journey, including the monthly cycle of hope and disappointment, and learn how to compassionately support clients through grief, uncertainty, and the strain fertility difficulties can place on relationships.

Throughout the course, you will develop a clear understanding of the terminology and processes involved in both natural and assisted conception, including common fertility challenges affecting both men and women. The CPD provides an overview of reproductive physiology, the menstrual cycle, and the factors that support a fertile state, as well as the organic and lifestyle factors that may contribute to infertility. You will also explore current statistics around fertility and birth rates in the UK, alongside an overview of the medical and non-medical options available for assisted conception through the NHS, private clinics, and natural approaches.

In addition, the course highlights how hypnotherapy can support clients undergoing fertility treatment by helping them return to a calmer “feed and breed” state, where hormonal balance and reduced stress support overall wellbeing. You will also explore the connection between the gut–brain axis and stress, and how reducing anxiety can positively influence physical health. The training recognises the diverse experiences of clients, including same-sex couples and single parents by choice, ensuring practitioners feel confident supporting people from all backgrounds on their unique fertility journey.

This CPD builds knowledge to support clients through perimenopause and menopause, explaining hormonal effects on mind and body, with strategies to restore balance and wellbeing.

During the CPD, we explore how changes in reproductive hormones can affect mood, sleep, stress levels, and overall well-being. You will learn about the connection between hormones and the brain, and why this stage of life can sometimes bring challenges such as anxiety, low mood, overwhelm, and disrupted sleep, and how regaining balance will benefit the women in your clinic.

Understanding what is happening in your body can be incredibly empowering. With the right knowledge and support, women can begin to reduce stress and anxiety, improve their sleep, and regain a greater sense of calm, control, and confidence. Many women experience changes in their emotional well-being during this time of life. In fact, women are significantly more likely than men to experience common mental health challenges, particularly during periods of hormonal change.

Recognising the role hormones can play helps remove blame and self-criticism, allowing women to approach this phase with greater self-compassion. Through supportive, solution-focused hypnotherapy techniques, women can learn practical ways to manage symptoms such as anxiety, overwhelm, sleep disturbances, low mood, and reduced confidence. The aim is to help clients develop resilience, reconnect with their inner strength, and move forward feeling calmer, clearer, and more in control.

This approach focuses on helping clients understand their mind and body while supporting them in creating positive change, enabling them to navigate perimenopause and menopause with greater ease and well-being.

This CPD will explain the relevant fundamental principles of finance in a simple way, giving the therapist the confidence to maintain their own records independently, saving time and money in the process.

This CPD will enable you to confidently maintain accurate records (income, expense, tax, budget etc) and independently complete your own tax return without the need of employing external resources.

There can very often be the temptation to over complicate things with regards to accounting and finance, so I would like the therapist to finish the CPD knowing that they have the knowledge, tools and resources to put systems in place to make the process simple.

Course Content

• Do you need to employ an accountant?

This CPD equips you with knowledge and skills to understand and address women’s unique challenges, including how reproductive hormones affect mental health.

During the CPD, we will explore the practical aspects of understanding women’s reproductive health. We will cover the differences between the male and female brain, examine the Menstrual Cycle, and provide foundational knowledge to help practitioners understand how hormonal changes affect women. This knowledge will empower you to help women reduce stress and anxiety and regain control over their bodies.

Given that 1 in 5 women experience anxiety and depression, and women in the UK are more than twice as likely as men to have a Common Mental Health issue, it’s crucial to understand that these statistics are linked to the hormonal changes women undergo during their reproductive lives. This CPD is a vital step in addressing these mental health issues.
