Dandelion Training and Development
At Dandelion Training and Development, we believe children are not meant to fit into tick boxes. True support starts with meeting each child where they are, using professional curiosity and personalised care.
With 1 in 6 children facing mental health challenges, it's vital that those who work with young people feel confident in their ability to support them. We know that when children feel better, they learn better — and that good mental health is the foundation for success in all areas of life.
That’s why Dandelion provides high-quality coaching qualifications, practical online training and resources to parents, early years providers, schools, and colleges — helping ensure the best support is available on the frontline.
We are also building a growing community of mental health coaches, strengthening the partnerships needed to make a real difference. By continually developing new courses, resources, and workbooks, we help you provide the best possible early intervention and care.
Our courses are coaching qualifications, and we have the following topics, with more information available on the website (our face-to-face courses are run from East Sussex):

Integrative Hypnotherapy Academy Greece
The Diploma in Integrative Clinical Hypnotherapy is a structured, practical and professionally focused training programme designed for those who wish to develop safe, confident and effective hypnotherapy skills for use in one-to-one sessions and professional practice.
The programme introduces students to the principles, language and methodology of clinical hypnotherapy, with emphasis on focused attention, relaxation, therapeutic suggestion, subconscious processes and the development of a clear session structure. Training is delivered step by step, allowing students to move from theory into supervised practice with confidence, safety and professional awareness.
Students are trained in core hypnotherapeutic methods including induction, deepening, therapeutic imagery, suggestion work, ego-strengthening, confidence building, stress reduction, sleep improvement, smoking cessation, weight management, anxiety management and panic support. The diploma pathway also introduces more advanced integrative approaches, including inner child work, regression-based techniques, work with early emotional experiences, transformation of limiting patterns, and therapeutic scripts for a wide range of presenting issues.
A key aim of the course is to help practitioners understand how hypnotherapy can support deeper emotional change when cognitive insight alone is not enough. The training combines clear methodology, practical tools, ready-to-use scripts, case-based learning and supervised skills development, so that graduates can work with greater structure, sensitivity and confidence.
The course is suitable for mental health professionals, counsellors, psychologists, coaches, NLP practitioners, complementary therapists and professionals working with individuals or groups who wish to add a deeper, targeted and practical therapeutic tool to their existing practice. It is also accessible to committed learners who are new to the field and wish to follow a carefully guided training route.
The programme is taught online via Zoom. The teaching focuses on structure, methodology, practical application, ethical awareness and professional readiness.
Overall, this programme offers a grounded, compassionate and professionally structured pathway into the practice of integrative clinical hypnotherapy.
Graduates receive certification according to the course completion requirements and are encouraged to practise within their professional competence.

The Ayurva Academy Hypnotherapy Diploma Training
The Ayurva Academy Integrative Hypnotherapy Diploma course is run over ten modules. Our accredited hypnotherapy course awards you with two qualifications.
Firstly, after four modules the Introduction to Hypnotherapy award, which
is followed by the Practitioner award once you complete the remaining six
modules of the ten module course. As an addition we also help our students work towards, and gain, their HPD award.
Our integrative Diploma course takes our students from absolute beginners to competent professional hypnotherapists by incorporating the most up-to-date theory and research in hypnosis and psychotherapeutic approaches, along with lots of practice skills within a supportive, friendly and fun environment. This will ultimately enable you to become a knowledgeable, competent and confident hypnotherapist who will progress to be an ethical and caring practitioner. Once enrolled on the course all our students have access to the ‘Hub’ that allows you to review the course material that is covered, watch booster-videos and podcasts when you need a quick reminder, and post questions on the student blog. In the ‘Hub’ all students (past & present) also have access to all their relevant course materials, including the syllabus, reading lists, PowerPoint presentations and student notes.
Choosing to embrace therapy, whatever the modality, as a career opens up new avenues for profound transformation - both for you as a student and your future clients. In order to achieve this, we help our students build confidence that quickly leads to knowledge and competency as a therapist. Our lessons provide our students with an ideal learning environment where questions get immediate answers, which might not be possible with online courses. In our classroom setting our students also gain new, and often long term, friends with the same interests who ultimately become a support network. Together they experience the excitement of developing their new skills and careers whilst building their new businesses.
