LCCH Masterclasses

As therapists, we often take for granted what our patients hear, understand and interpret from what we are saying and how we deliver it. Practitioners need "a good, clear and expressive voice", as it can significantly enhance the effectiveness of clinical hypnosis sessions for patients. This Masterclass aims to improve your ability as clinical hypnotherapists (or counsellors) by focusing on your awareness, and the importance of your voice, it's reception, and practice of your delivery with feeling.

You can do a better job with a good voice

In a trance state, a patient's mind is open to suggestions if they are relaxed and comfortable with your voice. This is why a clear delivery, with the use of metaphors, scripts and guided imagery is fundamentally important.

How do you sound?

During this Masterclass, delegates will have an opportunity to be aware of their own voice (in practical sessions), to evaluate and improve their voice and delivery skills. Self-improvement techniques will be discussed and practised, which will result in a clear and confident delivery of speech.

How will you sound?

Numerous examples will be relayed to the delegates, to demonstrate the positive and negative effects of such deliveries on patients. The richness of these examples will be one of the features of this Masterclass.
