The Institute of Clinical

Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy

Training & Accreditation Institute

 

 

 

In 1979 Dr. Joe E. Keaney founded the first ethical Hypnotherapy-Psychotherapy Organisation in Ireland and has built an ethical reputation of standards and practice in training and producing graduates of the highest order, capable of delivering mental and physical health therapies both nationally and internationally. The ICHP was the first psychotherapy grouping in Ireland to present a submission for registration to the government. Also the ICHP is proud to have been a founding member of the European Association of Hypno-Psychotherapy.

 

The primary purpose of the ICHP Training & Accreditation Institute is the advancement of the art, science and practice of Ethical Hypnotherapy-Psychotherapy as a technique for the relief and rehabilitation of persons suffering from nervous disorders and emotional problems. The ICHP exists to promote widespread personal empowerment through therapeutic techniques, and to promote the training of its members and education for the general public.

 

 

BRIEF CLINICAL HYPNO-ANALYTICAL PSYCHOTHERAPY – SOLUTION FOCUSED (B-CHAPS) ©

The Birth of 'B-CHAPS'

 

Many great pioneers in the fields of Hypnotherapy and alternative health blaze trails into the frontiers of knowledge and leave lasting legacies in the body of work that humanity inherits after their blazing is done! Roy Hunter left Parts Therapy, Richard Bandler left us NLP, Joe Keaney and the ICHP will leave us...B-CHAPS (Brief-Clinical HypnoAnalytical & Psychotherapy Solution-Focused!)

 

B-CHAPS embodies the ICHP’s pioneering fusion of all the quickest and most efficient of healing techniques available into one highly effective system. Our therapy is brief and solution-focused so that the client has a definite contract and time limit and isn't required to spend indefinite amounts of time (and money!) in a more traditional form of psychoanalysis and counselling. And yet the core tenets of Freud and Jung are not ignored by B-CHAPS but utilised in the highly effective hypnotic state where cause and effect can be addressed and rectified by accessing the subconscious mind directly and removing the conscious 'middle-man'.

This fusion of psychoanalysis and hypnosis speeds up the therapy process beyond dramatically. Furthermore, presenting symptoms of the client are also initially dealt with using cutting edge Cognitive Hypno-Psychotherapy. This gives the client relief from their presenting symptoms, helps them to cope in the short-term and ultimately provides a platform and foundation whereby they can launch into the more important work of finding the root cause of the problem in the persons past and removing it.

 

THE ICHP TRAINING PROGRAMME IN HYPNO-PSYCHOTHERAPY

The ICHP Training programme is a two-tier Diploma and Advanced Diploma Course. The first step in this programme is a directed independent home study course. Once you are accepted on the first stage programme, the home study course, you will be sent a lesson every two weeks, from lessons one to twelve, which generally spans over a period of six months. This home study course consists of the theoretical aspects of Hypnotherapy-Psychotherapy from a foundation level, equipping the student with a full background of the origins, benefits, fundamental practices and ethical code of conduct involved in Clinical Hypnotherapy-Psychotherapy. This course involves various examinations and essays, all of which are completed at home and submitted to the Institute for assessment. On completion of this segment of the course the student is issued a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy.

In order to practice as a Clinical Hypnotherapist it is necessary to continue to the next stage of the programme, the Advanced Practical classes. The requirement for this level of the programme is to conduct 120 hours of practical training with the course tutor, Dr. Joe Keaney. These classes are run on a part-time basis in both Cork and Dublin. Again there are various examinations and essays throughout the course, all of which are assessed by the Irish Hypnotherapy Examinations Board. On completion of your 120 hours and the required assessments, you are eligible to receive you Advanced Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy. This allows you to become a member of the ICHP Post-Graduate Association (see the Association website here) and to go into practice as a Clinical Hypnotherapist-Psychotherapist.

The course syllabus is laid out in its entirety in the prospectus (order here), but briefly the course is designed for those who have either a passing knowledge or no knowledge at all of the subject matter, and covers all aspects of Clinical Hypnotherapy / Hypnosis / Psychotherapy & Hypno-analysis, so that on Graduation you will be in a position to set up in private practice, and start your new career as a professional, ethical, accredited and competent Hypnotherapist / Hypno-analyst.
