All Synodeo programs are delivered in French only - content, mentoring, written work and final review. This site exists in English so that we can be understood abroad; an English-language offer is a long-term project. More on this.

Hypnosis, according to Synodeo

Learning hypnosis isn't about collecting spectacular inductions. It's learning to support change: opening, with the person and at their pace, a space where something can come undone.

The hypnosis we teach is relational and respectful. It doesn't do anything to the person: it works with them, draws on their resources, and sits within the same ethical framework as all our programs - consent, confidentiality, boundaries of competence.

Like the rest of the school, it's learned through practice: real sessions, documented in the black book, reviewed with a mentor. The technique only has value through the stance that carries it.

Professional recognition

A programme recognised by the IACTM and the IHA.

This programme is recognised by the International Association of Coaches, Therapists & Mentors (IACTM) under Synodeo's accredited-trainer status. Your diploma may carry the IACTM logo, and once you graduate you may apply in your own right for the corresponding IACTM accreditation: Therapist / Counsellor.

An accreditation qualifies a programme; it is not a State approval, and it is distinct from the certification of your competencies, which your Synodeo diploma attests. It situates the training against the shared standards of the profession.

This programme is also an IHA Approved Course (International Hypnosis Association): the IHA approves the course, and once qualified you may apply individually for your IHA certification (Certified Hypnotist / Hypnotherapist). The IHA logo attests to the course approval; in line with IHA rules, it does not appear on the Synodeo diploma itself.
