Yorkshire Hypnotherapy Training – FREE – Understanding Autism, Making your pratctice autism friendly
Autism is defined by the National Autistic Society as ‘a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people, and how they experience the world around them’. Around 700,000 people in the UK may be autistic, or more than 1% of the population, so it’s quite likely that some of the clients who present to your practice are on the autistic spectrum. You may not necessarily be working with them for issues directly connected to their autism, but the condition is inevitably part of their personality and how they respond to the world. By understanding it – and them – more fully, you can make the experience of therapy as positive and easy as possible.
This course looks at wider issues around autism rather than specific therapeutic approaches because we wanted to make it useful for therapists of all types and all theoretical persuasions, as well as those who run other services likely to be accessed by autistic people. It will help you adapt the way you run your practice to make your business as accessible as possible to those on the spectrum.
It is written by a family team, both experienced authors. Debbie Waller is a respected therapist, writer, speaker and trainer. She is also Mum to Rae, who just happens to be on the Autistic spectrum and who works as a drafter, editor, proofreader and sensitivity reader for both fiction and non-fiction.
Terms and conditions
This course is free and comes with free email support for 3 months. No reminders are sent so please make a note of the date!
The course is assessed by means of an online quiz, and a download link for a certificate will be emailed to you automatically when you achieve a score of 80% or more.

Yorkshire Hypnotherapy Training – FREE – Working with Insomnia
Insomnia and sleep deprivation can be serious problems for clients, whether it is the issue that causes them to seek out your services or a by-product of it. Helping clients to sleep better will improve their clarity of mind, memory, health, anxiety and depression levels and general well-being.
In this course we discuss all aspects of sleep:
- Module One is about getting a good night’s sleep – what is sleep exactly, and what purpose does it serve?
- Module Two is about lifestyle issues that can contribute to a lack of sleep and suggests ways in which you can help your clients make better, sleep-friendly choices
- Module Three looks at health issues that can exacerbate or cause sleeplessness and how therapy can play a part
- Module Four looks at evidence-based programmes and other techniques to help clients experiencing sleep issues, including a wide range of sleep hygiene suggestions and a look at how you can work with these clients no matter what kind of talking therapy you offer.
The course is supported by brief slideshows, practical activities for you to carry out to consolidate your learning, links to wider reading and free resources to use with clients such as a ‘lifestyle and sleep’ questionnaire.
