Why Leicester?
Leicester is easily accesible from most places. It takes only one hour and nine minutes from St Pancras International in London, and train fares are from £11 each way. So from central London it takes almost the same time as it would take to get to Heathrow!

Leicester train station connects to many other major cities directly too, such as Birmingham, Manchester, Bristol, Cardiff, Sheffield, Leeds, York, Peterborough, Cambridge and Norwich

Road access is simple via the M1 or the M69 and both East Midlands and Birmingham airports are easily accessible with good public transport links. The Grand Hotel has a car park and is just 500m from the train station.


Why not bring your partner or family?
Leicester has a lot to offer including the National Space Museum, many other museums, the brand new Highcross shopping centre and fantastic food: especially from the Indian sub-continent. You can also get a train to Alton Towers! For more information, click here

How the on-line courses work:

On-line courses such as these have many benefits:

• It combines freedom to choose when and how to study, with an element of structure that however you are best motivated, the system will work for you.
• It avoids the costs of travel and accommodation (and room rental and expenses for us, hence your costs are kept down).
• It provides an opportunity for collaborative learning, unlike traditional distance learning courses which can be lonely undertakings
• We have found in similar situations that the element of separation from other students can individuals to open up more, and risk more in their interactions than may be the case face to face.

There are four distinct parts to these courses: 

1. Weekly webpages with the course content. Ethics, psychopathology and research courses run for three weeks, Human Development and Sexuality runs for six weeks
2. Weekly chatroom session. This is usually 1pm (UK time) on each Wednesday of the course. Your input to the chatroom will be assessed, but this is CHAT and so there is no need to be formal
3. The forum. You will find, dotted through the course content, some topics to discuss with your fellow students and tutor(s) on the forum. Debate is welcomed, and as with the chatroom, formality is not required.
4. Written assessment. You will find a link on each weekly page to the assessment page. We advise you start this early, and then problems can be discussed with your fellow students via the forum.

Workshops and Seminars

The National College takes the view that learning is an ongoing experience. Even when fully trained, therapists still need the opportunity to keep up-to-date with specialist approaches and developments in the profession.

To this end, the College provides a regular programme of one and two day workshops and seminars on a variety of subjects. The workshops are run by specialist tutors. All current students and members of the National Register of Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists (NRHP) are notified of forthcoming training events.

Examples of past training events are:-  

• Dealing with Pain Control
• Disorders of Sleep and Dreams
• Ego State Short Term Therapy
• The Unconscious Mind (Ericksonian therapy)
• Gut Directed Therapy (for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, etc.)
• Life Coaching
• Stress Management
• Jigsaw Therapy
• Phobias
• Ego State Therapy 

Upcoming CPD courses:

Interactive Counselling Skills - forging the therapeutic alliance - 12 hrs CPD £170 [concessions: NCHP students/graduates £140]

A practically oriented workshop aimed at enabling therapists to develop the counselling skills so essential to the development of a therapeutic climate. This workshop is particularly useful to those who have no previous counselling experience and is recommended to be taken prior to, or at an early stage of, training. The workshop is offered, at regular intervals, at NCHP training venues.

Next date: 18/19 October in Leeds

Ongoing Supervision

Supervision is considered to be an essential part of an ethically minded psychotherapist's practice. All practising members of NRHP are required to be in, either, supervision (for Student, Affiliate or Associate members) or peer supervision (for Full members). On a practical level, this means getting together with your supervisor for a minimum of two hours per month (or on a pro-rata basis for Students) to discuss, in a confidential manner, your current case load and treatment schedules, and talk over any problems you may be encountering.

The therapeutic alliance is, perhaps, the most important aspect of any therapy, but it is all too easy for a therapist to be so involved in the therapeutic relationship that he or she cannot see it from a clear perspective. That is where supervision comes into its own, helping therapists to reflect constructively on their working relationships with clients. Details of supervision requirements are available to those applying to join the NRHP.
