Mr Chris Fleet

The Devon School of Hypnotherapy was founded in Paignton, 2012 to compliment my hypnosis practice. Once developed, I started teaching a one-day self-hypnosis workshop designed to introduce the art and science of hypnosis and teach individuals how and when to use self-hypnosis from my clinic on Hyde Road in Devon. Initially, my students were current or former clients, but others heard about the school and wanted to learn more for themselves. Less than a year from setting up the school, I was running regular workshops as well as my then newly developed Certificate in Hypnotherapy weekend course (known now as the Introduction to Hypnotherapy weekend). Over the following year, I began writing the Diploma in Hypnotherapy course. Writing the diploma course and getting it accredited by The General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC) was no mean feat. I wanted graduates to be ready and confident to enter professional practice once qualified and ensure that they had adequate live experiences to back their knowledge. After several months of dedication and hard work, the diploma was completed. Now my students could train from complete novice to confident practitioners at one school over a period of 10 months.
