Introduction to Hypnosis Institute
– The Association for Integrative Medicine Hong Kong Chapter

“Our existence is dedicated to reshaping your life into a more beautiful landscape through hypnosis.”

The Hypnosis Institute, a Sub-Affiliate of Cambridge International College in Hong Kong, stands as the sole institution dedicated to hypnotherapy training in the region. It also holds the distinction of being the only Overseas College affiliated with Study House (Quality Licence Scheme). Under the esteemed guidance of founder Charles Leung, who has been invited by The Association for Integrative Medicine to serve as the Specialist Hypnotherapy Chief Instructor of Greater China Region, the Hypnosis Institute offers the first-ever The Association for Integrative Medicine certified hypnotherapy specialization program in Asia. This comprehensive program covers Paediatric Hypnotherapy, Internal Family Systems Hypnotherapy, Stress and Insomnia Relief Hypnotherapy, and Interpersonal Hypnotherapy.

Previously, aspiring registered hypnotherapists had to seek training in Europe or North America. Now, they can pursue their studies right here in Hong Kong at our institute. Additionally, students can apply their accumulated hours from our hypnotherapy courses toward obtaining the Chartered Master Counsellor certification (Specializing in Hypnosis). This certification, which recognizes 110 hours of learning, opens doors for those interested in entering the counseling field.

The Hypnosis Institute’s mission is to empower individuals to coexist with their emotions, integrate them into daily life, and address sensitive issues that are often difficult to discuss. We are committed to nurturing a new generation of hypnotherapists and workshop facilitators. Our regular Certified Hypnotherapist Certificate courses provide an international standard of training. Beyond the classroom, we foster a community of hypnotherapists through practical groups, research team and networking events.

At the Hypnosis Institute, we firmly believe that everyone should harness the power of hypnosis to enhance their well-being. In our fast-paced urban lives, stress, anxiety, and emotional tension have become commonplace. Therefore, we offer courses that are easy to comprehend, enabling individuals to improve their quality of life and explore new possibilities. Our goal is to help people relax, face life’s challenges with resilience, and discover alternative pathways they never knew existed. It’s about taking control of your emotions and your life.

“Hypnosis is not a gimmick; it’s an enhancement that leads to a better quality of life.”

Vision – We envision a world where everyone utilizes hypnosis for healthier living.
Mission – We provide accessible hypnotherapy training through easy-to-understand programs that enhance and integrate with daily life.

May We All Learn to Befriend the Members of Our Inner Family

May Motivation and Sleep Become Allies in Everyone’s Daily Life
Stress management and sleep are like twin brothers—they can support each other or they can clash. There is a close connection between stress and insomnia. The “sleep-needing brain” deals with a large amount of information during the day, and prolonged high tension from daytime stress can significantly impact sleep quality. During sleep, the parasympathetic nervous system helps alleviate daytime stress. Poor sleep quality is often a result of stress, and insufficient sleep puts the body in a stressed state. In today’s fast-paced society, practical psychological interventions like hypnotherapy can comprehensively address both stress management and sleep issues.

May Everyone Experience Healthy Emotional Connections
Interpersonal relationships resemble a web-like structure, where each individual simultaneously plays different roles, such as being a mother and a wife, a colleague and a friend, or a partner and a best friend. Relationships are constantly learning, evolving, and growing; therefore, healthy relationships do not demand perfection. Instead, they strive for effective communication, cooperation, support, and trust amidst imperfections. When faced with disputes, conflicts, communication issues, or emotional distress, it is crucial to understand the other party and find suitable ways to interact, gradually mending broken bridges. Emotions and values constantly influence connections between people. While appearances may seem fine, underlying issues could be prevalent.
