Setting the National Standard in Hypnotherapy Education

The Academy of Clinical Hypnotherapy has earned the prestigious title of Best Clinical Hypnotherapy Training in Canada of 2025, recognizing its visionary role in redefining professional hypnotherapy education. This honor reflects the Academy’s commitment to providing evidence-based, ethically grounded, and neuroscience-informed training that equips practitioners to facilitate meaningful change in their clients’ lives. Through a modernized approach rooted in science and compassion, the Academy is reshaping what it means to practice hypnotherapy in today’s world.

A Mission-Driven Institution with Ethical Foundations

Founded by Clinical Hypnotherapist and educator Robin Popowich, the Academy was born out of a desire to raise the bar for hypnotherapy training—not just in Canada, but globally. Unlike many programs that rely on outdated or theatrical models, this institution emphasizes clinical integrity, client safety, and practitioner readiness. Every aspect of the curriculum is built around one mission: to train confident, competent professionals who can work ethically and effectively with diverse client populations.

Modern Curriculum Rooted in Neuroscience and Trauma-Informed Practice

What sets The Academy of Clinical Hypnotherapy apart is its unwavering focus on up-to-date clinical methods. Students don’t just learn to induce trance—they learn how the brain and nervous system respond to it. The curriculum replaces old-school scripts and suggestibility tests with education on neuroplasticity, emotional regulation, trauma recovery, and clean, client-centered communication. This shift ensures that every graduate is equipped to provide therapy that is safe, respectful, and aligned with current research.

Hands-On Learning with Live Mentorship and Supervised Practice

The Academy’s hybrid model combines the flexibility of online education with the depth of live instruction. Students participate in real-time Zoom classes, observe live demonstrations, and complete supervised practicum hours. This structure fosters both intellectual understanding and practical application—ensuring that graduates don’t just “know” the work, they embody it. Each component is designed to build skill, confidence, and a strong ethical foundation from day one.

Accreditation, Professional Recognition, and Lasting Community Support

The Academy is proudly accredited by the Canadian Association of Counselling Hypnotherapists and Educators (CACHE) and recognized by the International Hypnosis Association (IHA), affirming its commitment to high standards and accountability. Upon graduation, students gain lifetime access to the Academy’s Alumni Lounge—a vibrant professional community offering continued mentorship, guest speakers, and peer support. Unlike many certification programs, the Academy views graduation not as an endpoint, but as the beginning of a lifelong professional journey.

Transforming the Future of Hypnotherapy in Canada and Beyond

In a largely unregulated field, The Academy of Clinical Hypnotherapy stands as a trusted authority—offering rigorous, ethical, and effective education that meets the needs of both practitioners and the clients they serve. By bridging the gap between science and practice, the Academy is helping to position hypnotherapy as a respected and reliable tool within the broader landscape of mental health and wellness care.
