Develop Clinical Mastery — Not Just Certification

Clinical hypnotherapy is powerful. But without psychological depth, trauma awareness, and structured case formulation, it can become incomplete — and at times unsafe.

Clients today present with anxiety disorders, attachment wounds, psychosomatic symptoms, complex trauma, grief, addictions, and layered emotional histories. Technique alone is not enough. Most courses teach inductions, scripts, and techniques. Very few teach you:

• How trauma is stored in the nervous system and subconscious
• How to recognise dysregulation and dissociation
• How to structure sessions clinically, not intuitively
• How to work responsibly with regression
• How to assess when not to proceed

At Inner Journeys School of Soul Sciences, we do not train script-readers. We train trauma-aware Clinical Hypnotherapists. This is a structured 5-level professional diploma conducted in-person in Gurgaon, India — designed for serious practitioners seeking depth, competence, and ethical clarity.

This is not a quick course. This is a structured professional formation.

Become a Hypnotherapist Who Is Trusted — Not Merely Certified

What Makes This Training Different?

• Structured 5-Level Progression (5–6 Months): Depth cannot be compressed into a weekend. This program unfolds progressively, allowing integration, supervised practice, and psychological maturity to develop between levels.

• Small Batches (5–8 Students): Close supervision ensures you are observed, corrected, guided, and supported. This is not mass certification.

• Competency-Based Certification: Certification is awarded only after: Written examinations at each level, Minimum 10 real case studies, 72–80 hours of documented practice, Case presentation and faculty evaluation. Completion alone does not guarantee certification.

• IMDHA (USA) Approved Curriculum: Inner Journeys School of Soul Sciences is among the few IMDHA-approved schools in India. Graduates are eligible to apply for international membership certification with International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapy Association (IMDHA), USA.  

• Holistic Integration: Learn how to incorporate techniques like Past Life Regression Therapy, Inner Child Healing Therapy, Transpersonal Hypnotherapy, Part Therapy, Dream Therapy, Somatic Dialoguing, and Trauma-Informed Hypnotherapy for a well-rounded skill set.

TESTIMONIALS

1. “I completed all levels of Hypnotherapy practice from Inner Journeys under the tutelage of Mr Abhishek Joshi this year in February. Abhishek Sir has a unique, gentle yet firm approach in his classes. What’s fascinating is the myriad of real-life examples he can supplement along with the lessons. Owing to over a decade’s worth of experience in hypnotherapy and past life regression therapy, he is never short of sharing the practical nitty-gritty of therapy.

What I particularly liked was his dedication towards each student’s learning. More often than not, we were given more than the scheduled time of the class to ensure we gauged the subject matter accurately.

His classes were a satisfying mix of theory, practicals, discussions and Q&A from the students. I loved how he was able to patiently deal with each student’s questions, which sometimes even veered off-topic, yet linked them adroitly to the subject matter of hypnotherapy.

I have already started applying the tools of hypnotherapy in my practice to good effect. And even now, Mr Abhishek Joshi is available for guidance and assistance in the topics learned in hypnotherapy. I’m glad I could study under his guidance and wholeheartedly recommend his classes and even his therapies to anyone who chooses to seek.”

– Kushagra Singh

2. ” I have done my Clinical Hypnotherapist training program from the Inner Journeys, and it was truly a life-changing experience for me.

The in-depth knowledge, hands-on practice, and expert guidance helped me build confidence as a therapist. I now feel fully equipped to support my clients effectively.

The trainers, Abhishek Joshi and Priyanka Shukla, were incredibly knowledgeable and supportive. They provided real-world examples and practical tools that I could immediately apply in my practice.

Unlike other courses, this program was interactive and engaging, with plenty of opportunities for role-playing and feedback. It helped me refine my approach and deepen my understanding of different therapeutic techniques. I highly recommend this program to anyone serious about becoming a skilled Hypnotherapist.

I am always grateful for such deep knowledge sharing.

Thank you, my mentors, Abhishek and Priyanka. You both have a very special place in my life.

– Nira Patel, C.Ht, Psychologist, Ahmedabad

3. “Thank you for the amazing 3 days! Safe to call them life changing”

-Sanya Tadani

4. “I was a part of the Clinical Hypnotherapy training through Inner Journeys, and all I can say is that it was a life-changing experience for me. Not only did I learn a lot about human behaviour and mental health, but I also learnt how to effectively deal with day-to-day life issues and also help others recover from some serious challenges in life.

My entire learning, life-changing experience and this amazing journey are all because of one man, Abhishek Joshi. Abhishek sir has been completely supportive, loving, caring and an incredible mentor. He is always willing to give his time to help clear our queries and also guides us in the right direction while enabling us to take all the actions for our clients.

During all the levels of training, he was an amazing facilitator. He was super patient and always respected the participants while keeping a focus on the learning/ topic at hand. I have 14 years of experience in the training field and have been a corporate trainer as well as have been the head of training in a few of the biggest MNCs in India. Hence, I can say with a lot of confidence that he is perhaps one of the best trainers in India at the moment for Clinical hypnotherapy.

I am utterly grateful to Abhishek sir for all the learning and never-ending support. 🙂

Thanks for everything you do for us.”

– Amandeep Sandhu, Psychologist

Personal Readiness & Suitability

We prefer students who are willing to work on themselves throughout the course. This develops humility, emotional maturity, and therapeutic presence. A healed therapist serves better than a wounded one.

Intellectual knowledge without personal trauma work can create blind spots and reactivity. Therefore, this program is not suitable for individuals with severe untreated mental illnesses such as Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, or severe PTSD symptoms.

Outstation Students

Students travelling to Gurgaon must arrange their own accommodation. Several guesthouses and hotels are available nearby; please review ratings carefully before booking.

Are You Ready to Grow?

This training demands depth, discipline, and self-honesty. If you are serious about becoming a trusted Clinical Hypnotherapist — not merely certified — we invite you to apply.

Develop competence. Develop maturity. Develop responsibility.
