    Course Feedback

    Having studied with the School of Natural Health Sciences in Colour Therapy, Hypnotherapy and most recently Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy/ Psychotherapy. I wanted to say how much I have enjoyed all the courses.

    Not being academic or enjoying learning at school, I was a little concerned about studying. I need not have worried as I have found all the courses very practical, informative, and easy to understand. I have recently met with Antony Edwards, the writer of my courses, for a ‘one to one session’ to gain some practical experience. The day I spent with him was so worthwhile and valuable that I felt it gave me the confidence that I needed to start seeing clients, and putting my new found knowledge into practice.

    I am now looking forward to my NLP course, and intend in the New Year to study Past Life Regression. I am now working for myself as a Clinical Hypnotherapist, and EFT practitioner in Hertfordshire, and enjoying the freedom and confidence that I now have thanks to SNHS.
