⭐ A fabulous new Google review, with grateful thanks ⭐

We were so delighted to receive this lovely review following our recent CPD training on Mastering the Miracle Question: Unlock Client Progress with SFBT, delivered by our own Angie Hayes.

Pip McMahon said:

“I attended CPD training with New Horizon Training Academy for the second time and found the experience excellent. The lecture by Angie Hayes and accompanying handbook gave me the knowledge and confidence to apply my new learning in my practice. I would highly recommend the training on The Miracle Question.”

Thank you so much, Pip, for taking the time to leave such kind feedback. It means a great deal to us.

At New Horizon Training Academy, we care so much about creating CPD that is practical, supportive, confidence-building and genuinely useful in the therapy room.

And of course, thank you to Angie for bringing The Miracle Question to life so beautifully, and for sharing her knowledge and experience in such a practical and supportive way. 💙

Working With Addiction and Dependency Patterns in Hypnotherapy Practice.

Friday 12th June 2026.
09:30 - 13:30 BST.
Live on Zoom CPD.
Usual Price: £85.00.
Use code JUNE10 at checkout for 10% off.

Clearer boundaries. Better questions. Safer practice.

Many hypnotherapists will encounter clients where alcohol use, drug use, gambling, compulsive online behaviours, shopping, or other dependency-related patterns form part of the wider presenting picture.

This practical half-day CPD has been created to help hypnotherapists and students feel clearer, safer and more confident when these patterns show up in the therapy room.

We will explore:

* What is and is not appropriate to work with as a hypnotherapist.
* How to recognise red flags and when extra support may be needed.
* How to structure the initial consultation when dependency-related patterns are disclosed.
* How to use solution focused and integrative tools more effectively.
* How to work with urges, routines, shame, avoidance and behavioural repetition.
* How to use therapeutic language that supports change without confrontation or shame.

This workshop is scope-aware, ethical and practical. It does not train practitioners to diagnose addiction, manage detox, provide rehab, or work outside professional competence. The focus is on safer assessment, clearer boundaries, appropriate referral, and hypnotherapy tools that can support change where this work sits safely within scope.

You will also receive a pre-workshop workbook and a large post-workshop resource pack filled with tools, techniques, explanations, therapeutic language and useful resources.

Lisa is an excellent trainer. The course was well structured with excellent supporting resources. From initial booking to follow up everything ran smoothly.
Lisa is exceptionally knowledgeable and always shares her experience in such a way that enables learning AND practical application in the workplace.
I would highly recommend anything that Lisa, and New Horizon Training are involved with.

You provide a very warm, supportive learning environment, with a very kind & gentle delivery style, and it is evident you are an incredibly knowledgeable and skilled practitioner, very inspiring. Thank you.
It was excellent to hear the techniques delivered from a different trainer, giving me a new perspective, more insight & greater understanding.

NHTA – Monthly Update ☕

It’s been a month of late nights, endless cups of tea, and finally… our prospectus is finished and heading to the website very soon 👀

We’re also having some really encouraging early conversations about future advanced training pathways, including our Advanced Integrative Hypnotherapy Diploma and a possible Supervisor’s Diploma.

Nothing is ready to announce just yet, and we will only share full details when everything is properly confirmed, but there are some exciting possibilities ahead for NHTA.

Behind the scenes, the writing of the Level 4 HPD is now well underway. We genuinely want this course to reflect the combined clinical experience we’ve built over 25+ years — the successes, the mistakes, the lessons learned, and most importantly, helping students feel confident in developing their own unique therapeutic style within strong ethical foundations.

We’re also overhauling our CPD offering with shorter, more focused training upgrades and refreshers. First up: our Initial Consultation Upgrade — modernised, research-informed, practical, and coming very soon.

As for the chaos… Lisa’s perfectionist streak and Angie’s “let’s build the framework properly first” approach have both been in full force this month 😂

We thought the prospectus would take a week… maybe two tops.

Apparently not.

More soon from NHTA Towers ✨

Angie Hayes is a Director and trainer with New Horizon Training Academy, specialising in Integrative Hypnotherapy and Solution Focused Brief Therapy. Before moving into therapy and training, Angie spent many years working in accountancy, banking, and finance, leading teams through change and supporting people in both their personal and professional development.

It was during this time that Angie developed a deep interest in emotional wellbeing, communication, imposter syndrome, and the reality that people rarely fit neatly into theory or boxes. That understanding continues to shape the way she works and teaches today.

Known for her down-to-earth approach, warmth, knowledge, and sense of fun, Angie is passionate about helping students build confidence in a way that feels ethical, practical, and grounded in real-world experience — not just textbooks.

Alongside her training role, Angie continues to work closely with individual clients and couples in private practice, with a growing interest in supporting those affected by complex trauma and long-standing emotional patterns. Having overcome many challenges in her own life, she brings genuine compassion, insight, and relatability to both her teaching and therapeutic work. She believes that healing and transformation happen when people feel truly heard, understood, and supported to become the best version of themselves.

Away from training and therapy, Angie enjoys life near the North Somerset coast, along with her love of cars, motorbikes, walking, and animals — passions that help keep her grounded, curious, and connected to the world around her.

Hypnotherapy Training, Supervision, Events and more in Wiltshire, UK with Lisa Williams Edgar

16/05/2026

Our director, senior trainer, colleague and dear friend Angie Hayes shared this beautiful reminder today.

This is something we often see in our work as solution focused integrative clinical hypnotherapists. When someone feels emotionally numb, it does not mean they are broken, weak, or that they have lost themselves. It can simply be the mind and body doing their best to protect them when life has felt too much for too long.

The work we do is gentle, supportive and forward focused. We help people begin to calm the nervous system, understand themselves with kindness, reconnect with their own inner resources, and take small, manageable steps towards feeling more like themselves again.

Beautifully said, Angie Hayes Therapy 💙

Feeling emotionally numb lately?

Sometimes your brain doesn’t turn emotions up…
it shuts them down.

Because feeling everything at once
would simply be too much.

You haven’t lost yourself.

Your system is trying to cope 🌿
