The Hypnotic Practitioner

Hypnosis Defined “Hypnosis guides you into a state of hyper suggestibility, outside your conscious mind, into your deep unconscious mind, where psychological and physical changes can be made for your benefit. As a result, hypnosis has become a psychological and therapeutic dicipline that is gaining acceptance worldwide as an established alternative therapy” Mahboob Momen – Director, People@Heart

• Get rid of bad habits - smoking, drinking, drug addiction, over eating, etc
• Overcome anxiety and stress – panic attacks, feelings of anxiety, phobias... and other stress related issues such as anger, irritability, insomnia, headaches, skin or digestive problems, etc
• Improve your psychological and emotional wellbeing – whether getting over depression or grief, building your confidence and self esteem or managing embarrassment or blushing, to name but a few...
• Improve your physical condition – by learning to suppress or control unwanted physical pain or discomfort.
• Your personal development – from improving your exam results, to facilitating personal change and even increasing sports performance.

Sadly, many people fear Hypnosis, as an unknown!

You can too!

Why train with me?

Since 1993 I have trained with possibly the best hypnotist in the world; Dr Richard Bandler. As a delegate and then assistant at his seminars around the world, I have seen him magically cure people using Hypnosis and NLP.

Hypnosis is THE POWER TOOL for the 21st Century!        

Of course, hypnosis is not a panacea for all ills and ailments – But it is an incredibly powerful tool for health, healing and personal development if used in the right way...

So if you want to learn the right way and enhance your hypnotic understanding, know-how, skills and abilities with a unique new insight into what Hypnosis is all about, then come and take a trance journey with me and acquire new found skills with “The People@Heart 6 month Hypnotic Practitioner”.

You will learn all about the science and art of hypnosis in a unique way because I have designed this course specifically to build up your hypnotic skills over a 6 month period.

The Hypnotic Practitioner Seminar

The Hypnotic Practitioner is divided into 3 sessions x 4 days, over 6 to 12 months depending on the programme design. In between sessions you will be required to complete specific activities to build up your know-how, skills and abilities. And in this way, over these sessions, you will accelerate your unique abilities.

At the end of this seminar you will be required to take a 1 Day Exam to establish your Hypnotic Practitioner competence... On passing this exam you will be awarded The Hypnotic Practitioner Certificate from The Society of NLP.

Why my seminars are unique

A lot of the Hypnotic Practitioner material that will be covered will be presented in a fresh and original way that creates new thinking and insight to accelerate your learning and progress. If you have trained with me before, you will know that this is a key feature of all my trainings. It is the unique and experiential way in which I deliver my trainings that enable you to learn quickly and in a fun and easy way.

My seminars never follow a rigid pattern.  They are a unique vintage of one off specials, as it all depends who is at the seminar and how I pull together all energies to create a unique and uplifting experience, adding to your learning as I grow even deeper insights and understandings.

“My newly learnt abilities to self induce calm, relaxation, confidence, etc. almost instantly, helps me to manage my state in the way that I want to and thus achieve positive outcomes from all types of situations. This course really is a unique, enjoyable and valuable learning experience." 

Richard Handley

Managing Director

Care & Independence

“I have found that every session has been transformational, each time in different ways. His deep understanding of patterns and motivational behaviour is as profound as his ability to help change them. Above all, it is his amazing level of commitment and willingness to help, which makes him so unique and efficient.”

Vincent Dahinden - Director, Structured Credit, RBS

”Spending these days with Mahboob was an amazing experience... I can safely say, they were some of the most enjoyable, challenging, thought provoking, testing, enlightening and reflective days of my life... You undertake a journey into your past, you understand your present and you get equipped with this incredible tool-kit to handle the future...  Mahboob is really in a class of his own... He teaches through your experience while his style of interaction puts you at ease and pushes you to find new skills and insights into life. My friends and work colleagues noticed the difference in me... immediately! I am going back for more!!! 

Gareth Windsor – Manager HSBC

"I enjoyed Mahboob’s style of teaching. I think that he has the ability to look into someone’s soul. He has a lovely manner with people, which makes them feel comfortable and safe, and he offers them therapy in a gentle way, straight from the heart. I think that Mahboob can get the best out of people, because they want to do it for him. Having seen Mahboob work with the group, I can see the coming together of the NLP and a more spiritual way of working from the heart i.e. the compassion and tactile approach to your subjects. I think everyone went away from the workshop, understanding and feeling better about themselves than when they arrived and with a fundamental shift at a personal level."

Dave Morris – Managing Director, Aidservice Ltd

“The way he does things is straight up and straight out and straight at you. He pulls down all your defence mechanisms. He takes you for what you are and he is who he is. It is no game. It is a genuinely that is pure and with that you can take the most of what he presents because you know there is a meaning with it. It is direct, it is good and it is uplifting. He is a special person. He manages to feel love to people he never have met before. That makes me feel uplifted.

Cecilie Hvidsten – Therapist

Mahboob! I think he is magical. He talks about it and I think that all people are magical and that we have fantastical abilities all of us. I drown in his eyes and feel only goodness. I feel he is magical in the way he sees us all in different way. I feel that he is there for all of us. He catches things and has eye contact on the right time. Just lovely.

Karianne Olsen – Therapist

I guess it is the energy he gives. Now I’m talking in a way I would not have done before this seminar – energy – what is that? He comes into the room and takes control over it, is engaged and you sit and listen and absorb what he says. You receive all the way. It really must be experienced. I did not really know what I could expect and much of this I would not have dared believe in before I came here, had it not been that I got to experience it. It is a challenge to tell this to others and tell it in a way so people understand what I have experienced.

Morten Riise – Director, Oppe og Nede

“He does not just talk you feel it. You don’t have to think over it, it’s like it goes straight through you, you, feel it. I think it facilitates the way he brings it. He is very charismatic. You just believe him. So I like the different examples as well and he throws himself. I think it’s the energy he puts into it, I can imagine he is tired after a session. It’s nice to see the person that you believe, that are what you are telling.”

Tom Konnixk – Director

“He has a very powerful positive energy inside that infects everybody. He has something magic about him. He talks with his whole body, eyes, mimic and everything. He is very alive and very engaged. The way he teaches is something all teachers should learn”.

Tove Øvren – Director, Helse gir Arbeid
