Amongst other things, the course will teach you:

• How to right the best script, and anchor the suggestions effectively
• How to build rapport and confidence with your client
• Understanding hypnosis and suggestion
• Different hypnotic inductions
• What are the best NLP techniques to include?
• How to demonstrate and use ‘Coue’s Law’ to best effect
• How to get your client to create a huge amount of belief, very quickly
• How to ETHICALLY influence your client to achieve the very best results
• How to use unconscious weapons of influence
• How to use the amazing law of reciprocation
• Use of the rules of consistency
• Social pressures and social proofs, and using them to your advantage
• An understanding of authority and deference
• How to create instant influence, and supercharge belief
• In short, how to create belief in the client, that you are going to change their life!

The skills and insights learned on this course will not only help you to successfully prepare and run a suggestion therapy session (for any symptom), but they will also teach you how to take control and influence people in other therapeutic settings.

Website optimisation day

Sunday 9th December 2007

Allesley Hotel, Coventry

Presented By Rob Kelly FIAPH

Get YOUR website in the top ten on GOOGLE – every time!

This one-day training course has been designed specifically for Therapists who have a website, (or would like one) and would like that website to rank highly (appear at the top of the screen) on the major search engines, like google, alta vista, msn etc

Most potential clients will only look at the first page of results, once they have searched for ‘hypnotherapist in Leeds’ or ‘stop smoking in London’. …. You need your website to be on this first page of website listings, if you want lots of visitors (clients!) to view your web pages, and book an appointment with you.

There are just under TWELVE MILLION web-pages about ‘hypnosis’ on google……so having an interesting, colourful, information-packed website is NO GOOD TO YOU WHATSOEVER,
Unless members of the public can find them, by using one of the major search-engines!

You might have the best website in the world, but it is useless unless people visit it!

During this packed one-day course, I will find a genuine, low-ranking (therapy) website, and turn it into a high-ranking, easy to find, search-term-specific, client-finder! I will demonstrate this whole process to you.

Question: Why is the person who built your website, the WRONG person to ‘optimise’ it for you? Answer: Because they don’t know YOUR BUSINESS, and YOUR AREA like you do!

Learn how to write the very best web pages, and optimise them for best performance, including: keywords, meta-tags, alt-tags, pictures, location-specific text, the right ratio of words-to-pictures, the right topics to write pages on, ambiguous spelling, generic terms, links to other websites, getting the right phrases for internal and external links e

Bring your website with you – either on your laptop, or on paper, and we will work through it with you during the day – I will help you to change/correct/update every single page, in order to make it ‘search-engine friendly’

You DO NOT need to know anything about websites or search engines to benefit from this course

I will teach you how to create the most effective domain and page names, including ‘doorway’ and ‘landing’ pages. I will also explain how search engines work, and how they rank different websites and web pages: why are some always in ‘the top ten’, and while others cannot be found, anywhere….

WHY PAY £1000’s to somebody else to do this for you, when you can do it MUCH BETTER yourself, and KEEP you website ‘on top’ by spending just an hour a month on it.

The secrets of helping survivors of sexual abuse

2008 dates to be arranged

Presented by Rob Kelly FIAPH

The cost of attending this course is £295 (£195 IAH members/Students) – which includes refreshments and lunch on both days.

B&B is available at the Hotel - at a reduced rate of £35 (per night)

This course is written and presented by Rob Kelly, a hypnotherapist and trainer who has helped over two thousand victims of sexual abuse, over an eighteen year period.

The course will be based entirely around REAL case histories: some of which will be presented live on the day. Every delegate will receive comprehensive notes, an attendance certificate, and proof of 14 hours CPD. The course will be presented in a dynamic, colourful, and where possible, light-hearted manner, in order to facilitate a good group dynamic, and ease of learning.

To work successfully with the victims of sexual abuse, you must first
understand why and how abusers manage to abuse, and why they (often) get away with it undetected for many years.

This knowledge will help enable you to fully comprehend the very
powerful effects of GROOMING, DISTORTED THINKING, and
NORMALISATION – behaviours that often ‘trap’ the victims of abuse,
preventing them from being able to resolving their issues, and ‘unlock’
their own destructive behaviour traits.

This course will equip you with a good working knowledge and understanding of the issues surrounding Sexual Abuse; from the victim’s, perpetrators and therapeutic perspectives.

Some of the topics discussed will be:

• Why men (mostly) rape and abuse women and children

• The different types off abuse, and different types of abuser

• How an abuser chooses, grooms and abuses his victims

• How it feels to be abused, and the defence mechanisms and symptoms that can be produced by abuse.

• How to help an abuse 'victim' to take control of their life and live happily - which interventions work best and quickest?

• How to protect your family from sexual predators

• Understanding 'Victimology'

• Types of abuse

• Signs & Symptoms of abuse

• Fear/Denial/Guilt/Shame Dissociation & Resistance

• Helping an abused client

• A sociological perspective

• Repression & Survival .........Is there a 'Victim Cycle'?

• What is Grooming?

• Why it is now a criminal offence?

• What purpose does it serve?

• Different experiences of grooming

• The 'favourite uncle' syndrome

• Collusion Institutionalised grooming (church, social work, teaching, police)

• How grooming will impact upon any later attempts to resolve conflict surrounding the abuse (i.e. therapy)

• Profiling the sexual offender.

• Why do people abuse?

• What triggers an assault?

• Can paedophiles be successfully treated?

• 'Career Paedophiles'

• The 'Offender Cycle'

• Female offenders

• Why is it that 99% of abusers are victims, and yet very few victims become abusers?

"I can heartily recommend this two-day training course: Rob Kelly is a rare breed .... not only is he a highly-skilled and knowledgeable clinician, he is also a superb presenter who possess the ability to impart his experience to others in a truly inspiring fashion."

Dr Mark Pummel MBBS MRCGP FRCPsych

Please beware that the course will go into depth about many emotionally-charged subjects, and delegates who are not used to discussing such subjects openly, may find the training quite challenging. It is for this reason that we also suggest delegates take up the special B&B price at the hotel (only £35 per night) in order to unwind and ‘de-brief’ on the Saturday evening.

This is a Module of the IAPH Advanced Diploma Programme - Successfully complete 8 modules, and you will be awarded the Advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy and Hypnoanalysis

Rob Kelly and his associates have developed this course specifically for therapists and those professionals working with abuse victims and perpetrators. They bring a wealth of experience, having worked for many years within both statutory and non-statutory sectors, providing services to children (victims and perpetrators) and adults (survivors, non-abusing parents and perpetrators). Their own professional training has been provided by nationally recognised experts including The Lucy Faithful Foundation, and Ray Wyre and Associates.

Rob and his colleagues provide a range of consultancy and training services (social care, management, hypnotherapy, forensic hypnosis, professional supervision and communication & negotiation skills), and they also provide therapeutic interventions for individuals and small groups.

The secrets of successful Free Association

2008 dates to be arranged

Presented by Rob Kelly FIAPH

The cost of attending this course is £295 (£195 IAH members/Students) – which includes refreshments and lunch on both days.

B&B is available at the Hotel - at a reduced rate of £35 (per night)

Free-Association is the amazingly effective process that enables people to completely and permanently resolve the unconscious causes of their anxiety, depression, eating disorder, phobia or other emotional or psychological problem.

Free Association is one of the most misunderstood of all therapeutic techniques, and yet, when administered correctly, is profoundly effective. The aim of this course is to equip you with the skills and knowledge to practice Free-Association successfully. The therapy, and more importantly, how to practice it, will be described in detail - the majority of the training will consist of listening to, and analysing, pre-recorded therapy sessions. Many different recordings, of various clients, at different stages of the therapeutic process will be studied in order to understand what most helps and hinders the therapeutic process.

Some of the topics discussed will be:

• Why is ‘FA’ so successful, where other interventions fail?

• The many ways that both the client (and therapist) can sabotage therapy

• The effects of denial, dissociation, disavowel and grooming upon therapy

• How to explain FA to your clients, and what to say if they get ‘stuck’

• Learn when to talk, and when to stay quiet. What are the right things to say?

• Understand what ‘true’ or ‘pure’ Free Association REALLY is

• How to help a client to abreact, and to release their bottled-up emotions

• Learn to spot red herrings, and use techniques like ‘automatic writing and drawing’

• Learn why this technique the most natural and holistic of ALL therapies

• How to use ‘clean’ and ‘reflective’ language effectively

• Understand ‘recovered memory’, false-memory, and the law

• Recognise the effects of distorted thinking and ‘normalisation’ on therapy
  

Rob Kelly FIAPH will present this dynamic and empowering course, which is open to any practicing therapists, or therapists in training. The content of the course will be quite explicit at times, and traumatic events may well be discussed in great depth.

Attending the recent "The Secrets of Free Association Course" has provided me with an in-depth understanding of what FA means and how to guide a client through the process. The unique live demonstations were superb and as a new student, all my questions regarding this topic were answered. It was presented in a very sensitive and down to earth manner by Rob Kelly, who in my opinion, is an excellent presenter and captures the audience's attention completely throughout the two days.

Easy smoking cessation

Coming soon

Presented By Rob Kelly FIAPH

Learn how to stop 95% of smokers - in just one session! Learn from a GENUINE expert in this field who has stopped over 6000 smokers. During this packed one-day course, you will learn EVERYTHING that you need to know in order to be able to stop 95% of the Smokers who walk through your door in just one hour-long session. A real session will be demonstrated before your very eyes and then dissected so you can understand the component parts. Stopping someone smoking permanently is a lot more involved than just giving them some suggestion therapy, and keeping your fingers crossed! I will explain (in plain English):

• How to attract smokers.

• How to filter out the people you DON'T want to take on.

• How to help the smoker to overcome their ERRONEOUS BELIEF that they are addicted to it.

• Why smoking is THE BEST habit in the world to have (no joke!).

• That motivation (or willpower) is directly related to incentive (or benefit) and why this is the major reason most smokers fail to stop.

• The cycle of dysfunctional behaviour and how it relates to smoking.

• Why most smokers trying to quit are operating under a delusional belief system that continually undermines their attempts to quit.

• How visualisation can keep the client feeling positive and focussed.

• Why smokers are happy to pay £195 for a one-hour 'Easy Smoking Cessation' session .

• Why the client's firm belief that they are a non-smoker is so critical.

• How to SUPERCHARGE rapport and trust.

• How to overcome cognitive dissonance (the feeling that 'something is not quite right').

• The difference between a Smoker, and Ex-Smoker and a Non-Smoker..

• Recognise which smokers to NOT take on.. different personality types

• How to word the perfect suggestions.and much more.
  

I will also prove to you, why having a single one-hour session is far more successful than having many sessions, or an extra long session. Learn a successful and innovative technique (and the insights and understanding that go with it) that Rob have developed over the last 15 years, whilst stopping over 6000 smokers*. (*Verified).

A comprehensive 85 page Smoking Cessation Pack is included in the cost of this course. This pack is a written account of everything I will teach you on the day of the course, including: the best induction to use, the actual suggestions to give, how to run the session, how to change your clients belief system, what to say to your client, examples to give, and over 40 pages of independent research into smoking, tobacco, habits, advertising etc etc.

FREE TO DELEGATES ON THIS COURSE ' A SIXTY MINUTE SUBLIMINAL 'EASY SMOKING CESSATION' CD ' TO USE IN YOUR CONSULTING ROOM.

The media, and hence your local population, judge a hypnotherapist's skill and expertise by how good he or she is at stopping people smoking. Make sure you are very good at it!

Secrets of successful hypnoanalysis

Coming soon

Allesley Hotel, Coventry

Courses also held in Northern Ireland

Written and presented By Rob Kelly FIAPH

Question: What is the Fastest, most Effective and most Liberating type of therapy available today?

Answer: 'Pure' Hypno-analysis

'Pure' Hypno-analysis, is a brief-therapy, that brings together all the most successful hypno-analytical, and psychotherapeutic techniques.

This unique therapy can bring a person to a moment of 'surprising and liberating enlightenment' ridding them of their fears, phobias, anxieties, depression (and any other psychological and emotional symptoms) within about 8 hours.

Sounds unbelievable?  
This therapy is NOT; an NLP 'quick fix', some kind of 'fast phobia cure', suggestion therapy, or any one of a hundred or so similar therapies - these techniques DO NOT resolve the cause of the anxiety, they simply cover it up, or give the person a bit more control.

The nearest equivalent to 'pure' Hypnoanalysis, would be a traditional three or four year course of psychotherapy or psychoanalysis - but with better results.

The main reason WHY this therapy is so successful, is because, for the first time, we can understand actually where these emotional disorders come from, and how they are formed.   With this knowledge, it is comparatively easy to help a person come to a state of total resolution of their anxieties/fears.

Probably more amazing than the success of the therapy itself, is the fact that the process of therapy is so simple, and doesn't rely on a whole bag full of 'therapist tricks' - in order for it to work effectively. This therapy merely enhances the 'natural human process' to resolve emotional trauma and conflict - no other intervention is necessary.

To read about Rob Kelly - the guy who developed this technique - and to see him in action, go to www.rob-kelly.net

Whether you a student of psychology, a counsellor, a psychotherapist, a Doctor, a social worker, a policeman, a nurse - these two days will give you a tremendous amount of insight into human nature, and change your life! 'Pure' Hypnoanalysis is the ONLY therapy in the world, that can CURE symptoms such as emetophobia, coprophobia, social phobia, shy bladder.....


Hypnoanalysis is THE single most effective therapy that exists in the world today!
Learn all the secrets of being a successful hypnoanalyst - In just two days! During this dynamic two-day course, you will be taught not only HOW, but WHY hypno-analysis is such an effective treatment. You will learn how YOU can achieve, in just 6 or 8 sessions, what would normally take about four years in a more traditional psychotherapy AND with more impressive results!

Hypnoanalysis is THE single most effective therapy that exists in the world today for resolving phobias, fears, anxieties, depression, eating disorders, confidence problems, sexual problems in fact ANY symptom that has a psychological component to it. This course is ideally suited to all therapists (or student therapists) who use any form of analytical therapy within their work. How is this course different to any other? Well, it is being presented by a leading expert in Hypno-analysis, someone with over 15 years, and 4000 clients worth of experience - Rob Kelly. Rob will demonstrate ALL the techniques you will ever need to use, AND explain HOW and WHY they work. Resistance, transference, abreaction, repression, regression, denial, false memories, catharsis, neurosis, phobias etc will all be explored and, more importantly, EXPLAINED in a very clear and understandable way. Learn why 'pin-point analysis', 'age regression', 'regression to cause', 'ideomotor signalling' and other 'find the cause' type therapies rarely do actually find the cause... OR resolve the problem!

To practice hypno-analysis successfully, you must first understand why we respond to trauma or emotional conflicts in our lives by creating anxieties, phobias and other symptoms. When you understand how and why these symptoms are created, it is much easier for you to help your clients to resolve them. Some of the knowledge you will gain during this course will include:

• How and why we repress emotional conflicts.

• The difference between denial, disavowal, suppression and repression.

• Why, with certain types of symptoms, CBT, NLP or suggestion therapy are completely ineffective.

• Why psychiatry's understanding and treatment of phobias is flawed, and usually just exacerbates the problem.

• Why different people have different types of symptoms.

• Why some personality types WANT to maintain their symptoms.

• How to encourage and abreaction: how to enable a client to re-live a traumatic event, in order to resolve the symptoms caused by it.

• How to treble your client base, AND your income!

• The best hypnotic inductions to use (and which to not use).

• Understanding Free Association, creating trust and rapport .

• Negotiating with the client's subconscious.

• Debriefing rape or trauma victims.

• The use of 'Clean' and 'Reflective' language in therapy.
