Training built on real clinical sessions, not books
Unlike a lot of training out there that comes from books and textbooks, all the training ICH Ireland offers is based on real clinical sessions.
Karl Anthony has seen over 16,000 clients. That is the experience you learn from.
With a network that went from one up to 18, 20 clinics, Irish Hypnosis Limited has seen thousands upon thousands of clients walk through their door into their recliner, all delivering the same standard, the same process, with the same testing and results where we could measure, we could develop, and we could improve and advance our methods because we were an organization. We had monthly meetings, so we could sit down and discuss. Karl Anthony was the lead trainer for Irish Hypnosis Limited, which adds more experience into the ICHI Ireland trainer.
Real clients, real people, using the most advanced methods.
Hypnosis myths
I kill the myths: that you lose control, that you are asleep, that you can be made to do anything, that you can get stuck, and that it is dangerous or damaging.
Karl Anthony
For parents of children with special needs
Before you book, understand this. Learning about the mind, emotional triggers, environments and stimulus can help you see your child in a different light. I can show you skills to help relax your child and to support their well-being.
These are supportive, practical skills for you as a parent, working alongside your child’s usual care.
