Important Information:
- The medium of instruction is English, so fluency in the language is important.
- We only take on students for whom we get permission from our Spiritguides. So before you apply, we will need your name, age, qualifications, and the reason you want to join hypnotherapy training. Once we get the green signal, we will share information and initiate the enrolment process.
- Our classes in Clinical Hypnotherapy are held completely offline in Gurgaon.
- Every Level has its own certification, after an MCQ written test.
- Students will be provided with separate study material for each level, along with a Suggested Book Reading list to enrich their studies.
- Self-study, coursework work and case studies are imperative for progress through the Levels. Practice sessions have been integrated into the Training program and are done under the Instructor’s observation and guidance.
- Duration: The Training Program is spread over 4-5 months, depending on the learning pace of each batch. Adequate gap between levels is essential for practice, learning and developing confidence. Levels longer than 2 days are sometimes split over subsequent weekends to facilitate proper learning.
- Faculty might add additional days if they need a certain batch or practical sessions.
- Most of our students are working professionals; thus our classes are held mostly over the weekends. However, proper commitment and sincerity to the coursework are expected from all students. Failing to do so, they will not be allowed to move forward to the next level. The decision of the faculty would be final in this regard.
- Fees are mentioned with each Level. Fees are to be deposited before the commencement of every Level. Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable under any circumstances.
- In case of any indiscipline, misconduct in class or outside, or incompetent coursework by the student, the Faculty and Directors of IJSS hold the full right to take suitable disciplinary actions and expel any student from the course. In such a case, no refund of the course fees will be provided, and the decision of IJSS will be final.
- Quorum: Each batch shall have a quorum of 5 participants. (Maximum batch size is usually 8 participants.) We would know a week before a batch begins, as we close enrolments. Nevertheless, if you have paid the fees, and your batch commencement dates are postponed, you will be duly informed about the next dates.
- Outstation students who travel in for their classes should make their own stay arrangements. There are some good guesthouses and hotels in the vicinity. However, check individual reviews carefully before booking.
- Are you ready to grow? We prefer students who are willing to work on themselves and grow throughout the duration of the course. This gives them the requisite humility to serve and the right aptitude towards the ever-evolving art and science of Hypnotherapy. A healed therapist is far better than a Wounded one. Mere intellectual knowledge without doing actual trauma and healing work will remain a handicap, as you would get triggered often. That’s why contraindications of this course are any kind of severe mental illness, like Bipolar, Schizophrenia, etc and severe PTSD symptoms.
- To maintain the quality of each batch, we have a selective intake, and we recommend you enrol well before commencement. Mail us your profile at innerjourneys11@gmail.com (info@innerjourneys.life), with a recent photograph. Also, mention the reasons you want to become a Hypnotherapist. Directors reserve the right to reject any application.
- Fresh batches start every 4-5 months. Enrol in advance!

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 linking 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

What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of focused awareness, reduced peripheral awareness and enhanced capacity to respond to suggestions. It is in effect a waking state of awareness (or consciousness), in which a person’s attention is detached from his or her immediate environment and is absorbed by inner experiences such as feelings, cognition and imagery. It could also be seen as a meditative state,
A hypnotherapist helps people enter a state of hypnosis through a process known as Hypnotic Induction. Actually, we take ourselves into a hypnotic trance; thus, in effect, all hypnosis becomes self-hypnosis. The use of hypnosis for therapeutic purposes is called Hypnotherapy. It is one of the oldest forms of psychotherapy.

Q. After receiving Clinical Hypnotherapist Certification from IJSS, how do I apply for IMDHA certification?
Some modalities we include to provide auxiliary information and a toolset. We teach only what is relevant for use in Hypnotherapy sessions. However, if you want a career in either, we would suggest you pursue independent studies in them. As they are all good by themselves. We, however, don’t have any specific recommendations for training institutes.
