“A powerful and insightful training, overwhelming content, brilliant trainer!!! The 4 day Foundation Hypnosis training was beyond any of my expectations. It was exceedingly practical with both theory and hands-on training. We were able to cover a great amount of invaluable material in a short amount of time. The group was fantastic; having Wissam as a trainer was truly a gift. He masters the material and generously shares his passion and advice. He is knowledgeable, dedicated, approachable and has a great sense of humour.…I highly recommend this Foundation Hypnosis training - It is an excellent first step to becoming a hypnotherapist.“

“The foundation hypnotherapy training with wissam was both informative and enjoyable. He skilfully guided us through many techniques offering us support and gentle correction. I would recommend this course to anyone who would like a through introduction to hypnotherapy.”

“During my 4 days of hypnotherapy training I learnt a wealth of new concepts, knowledge and skills. With Wissam’s incredible patience, ease and compassion I felt able to open up to new ideas and ask questions throughout the training, learning every day. Wissam has a wonderful style of training, enabling students to explore new and challenging concepts in an exciting, fun, safe and secure environment. I took this course as an introduction to Regression Therapy and was astonished at how transforming and healing Hypnotherapy is as a standalone therapy. I have learnt so much more than I could have had imagined and I am now excited to complete the full training and practice as a Hypnotherapist. Many thanks Wissam for opening me up to this new world.”

“Thank you Wissam for making this training course memorable and fun. The lessons were practical and hands on, which makes learning relatable. Left the training course with the confidence needed to conduct hypnotherapy sessions independently.”

“Just want to say a heartfelt thank you for the Hypnosis course. I'm still buzzing from all the positive feelings and experiences. I must say it truly exceeded all my expectations. That’s over delivering in practice, right?! ;) Big thank you once again for everything you have done. Looking forward to seeing you soon in the near future. Ps. Starting my first case study this Friday. Can’t wait to put all these great tools in practice!”
Marianne, London
“This is my second time joining the Foundation in Hypnotherapy training with PLRA and Wissam Awad as the trainer. I’m really glad I decided to join the second time around, as I got a lot of recalls and good learnings from it. The first training was like discovering a whole new world, while the second training gave me a lot of “Aha!” moments. It felt like connecting dots! This was the first time I met Tracey during the training. She gave me incredible encouragement and feedback while I did a one-on-one session with her. She was very helpful! This was my second time with Wissam as my tutor, and he is an amazing teacher! He’s got the perfect balance of making sure that everyone’s input was counted for while giving constructive feedback at the same time. I like how he reframed “mistake” as “good learning” throughout the whole training. It hugely changed my perspective towards mistakes/failures I make. Not only in regards to the training but also in terms of life in general.”
