What our clients say about New Horizon Training
Here is some of the feedback we’ve received from our clients:
09/27/2025. Addiction CPD with Adrian Davies: Interactive and very informative. I found this so much more useful than another addiction CPD I did recently. I also really like the fact we were given sign posting tips to enable clients to get additional support on top of what we can offer as therapists. I now have information that has made me more informed on addictions which will better enable me to devise treatment plans for future clients. I will combine problem and solution focused approaches to enable me to identify the trauma that sits behind the addiction. Rated as Excellent.

Manage Menopause CPD with Beverley Longhurst, 01/09/2025 - Beverley was very personable and knowledgeable. Her delivery was easy to understand, highly relevant and full of useful tips and techniques to help women during their menopause journey. I also just wanted to thank you for allowing this CPD to go ahead since there were only 3 of us. It demonstrates the ethos of your training company and your commitment to supporting others.

25/07/2025 - NLP for Advanced Techniques for Hypnotherapists . I recently attended Module 2 of the NLP for Advanced Techniques for Hypnotherapists CPD with Lisa from New Horizons Training, and it was fantastic. I’d already completed Module 1, so I was excited to build on that and it didn’t disappoint. I used one of the techniques the very next day in clinic with two clients and saw powerful results immediately. It’s incredible to now have a whole new toolset to integrate alongside hypnotherapy, helping shift deeply ingrained beliefs with noticeable change after just one session. This training has reignited my passion for NLP, and I’m so grateful to Lisa for that! Thank you! Jools - Discovery Hypnotherapy

19/07/2025 - Supporting Clients with Addiction For Hypnotherapists and Practitioners: This is one of the best CPD courses I have attended. To have someone with so much expertise, yet able to share his knowledge in a clear, interesting, and engaging way, was perfect. My knowledge is now improved, as is my understanding of addiction and its related issues.

Trauma in Children & Adolescents Workshop. July 2025. Brad was amazing! His delivery, content, pace was just perfect. As this subject can be very sensitive, Brad has given me the confidence by sharing all of the different strategies that I can use to ensure that I support my young person to get the best out of each of our sessions. I look forward to continuing to be curious and ensure that with my young person, we work together to get the best outcome for them, now and into their future. In fact, I am going to share that this course is available and recommend it to my colleagues. It was a delight to step away from our session, and reflect and feel so excited about what further impact that I am going to have on my young people, especially the neurodivergent young people that I am working with. Thank you! ✨ Rated: EXCELLENT ? Value for money? Yes!

Mastering the Miracle Question: Unlock Client progress with SFBT. July 2025. Many new techniques and thorough training as to ask better questions which would help the therapist funnel the answers to find the solutions they are looking for. Angie is a wonderful teacher who knows her subject completely. I learnt so many new ways of helping the client move forward. The workbook added great value to the experience.

Working with Children and Young People - June 2025 with Brad Smith. Brad was very engaging and knowledgeable about his experience working with children. Was helpful in understanding children’s brain development and how to engage children in a session. ⭐ Rated: Excellent and Value for Money.

Taking the Fear out of Phobias - June 2025: It was more in depth than what we learnt on our initial training, with great expressions that stick in your head. The training went ahead after several people withdrew from the event a short time before it was due to take place. This alone made me realise that this training company and the people behind it care more about people than they do about the money. Andy Workman is a fascinating trainer, he illustrates points in such a way that they stick in your head. He makes sure you're happy with everything that you're learning and doesn't want you to go away with unanswered questions. A fabulous CPD and extremely informative.

The Bereavement & Loss CPD for hypnotherapist supporting clients with grief, was really super. I’m so glad I did it! It opened up my awareness to lots of different and helpful tools and theories I can use my own practice. Beverly is so knowledgeable and competent and delivered the workshop with warmth and understanding. There is plenty to reflect on and lots of gems of insight to take away and apply. I feel so much more confident and equipped to support clients as they navigate their own experience of grief. Thank you so much!

06/04/2025. Quit Smoking and Vaping with Sarah Sollom - The training gave me a very clear template of how to run quit smoking and vaping sessions. Session structure etc is simple and effective. I loved the PowerPoint; that will be so helpful. I really enjoyed this CPD. Sarah was engaging, funny and knowledgeable. It will enable me to go through the sessions without anxiety. I will be able to engage better with the clients and not have to read from my numerous notes all the time. It will be a more enjoyable experience for my client and myself. Rated: Excellent.

Manage Menopause CPD for Hypnotherapists, Practitioners and Coaches with Beverley Longhurst: I loved learning about maybe structuring special sessions and longer sessions and the opportunities for business leads.

Taking the Fear out of Phobias - "Andy was a very engaging speaker. Although I was familiar with the four-session approach to treating phobias, it was interesting to hear his interpretation. The key message I took away was to personalise my approach, use intuition, and not be afraid to modify scripts if it better suits the client. This reassured me that what I was already doing was the right thing - even though I had questioned it. There was so much information to take in, but the time passed quickly. The scripts and booklet provided are incredibly helpful for consolidating this new knowledge. I always enjoy the opportunity to engage with fellow practitioners, ask questions, and learn from an expert sharing real client examples. I now feel more confident in continuing with a personalised approach to treatment and will be using some of the material Andy has kindly made available. I have been on training courses offered by New Horizon before and have always found them to be informative, relevant to practice, and enjoyable."

Weight Loss - A Mindset Approach With Sarah Sollom. Sarah was a wonderfully warm and engaging presenter and the information was extremely useful. The resources given ensure I have everything I need to get started delivering these sessions to groups. It delivered a user friendly approach to delivering sessions specifically tailored to weight loss clients. I’ll be able to tailor sessions to clients looking for support to lose weight. This is something so many clients are seeking. Now I can give clients what they are looking for.

The Psychology of Luck. A Guide for The Therapist in Positive Psychology with Andy Workman. My feedback on this event. I would highly recommend this CPD delivered by Andy Workman. I've attended several of Andy's workshop's and have found every one of them extremely helpful. This CPD covered the science, made references to researchers ie Bruce Lipton, included lots of real life examples and provided both clarity and reiteration of how luck actually works! Andy delivers CPD's in such a way that is grounded, easy to follow, easy to understand and with such lovely humour!

The Solution Focused Approach to Eating Disorders with Martin Furber. He was easy to listen to, he had structured the course perfectly, with the break out rooms, good timing and THREE breaks. EXCELLENT. That was one of the best, if not the best so far, CPD I've had.

This is my second workshop with Andy Workman, and certainly not the last one. Andy is a humble and kind individual with great knowledge and expertise in hypnotherapy and beyond. His sense of humour and presentation skills make his workshops worth attending! Lisa's support throughout makes the whole experience easy and enjoyable. New Horizon courses are well-priced and give great value for your money! Thank you!

I have been working with Lisa as my Supervisor for some months now and I am so very grateful to have found her. Lisa gives the best advice, and has helped me lately with a very complex client, which I would have struggled to get through had it not been for her advice. Lisa not only gives advice for the client, but also is so supportive and encouraging to me personally. I also have attended some excellent CPD's which I have thoroughly enjoyed and have gained valuable insight to help me progress in my therapy.

I recently attended Andy Workman's CPD on PTSD. I had been looking forward to this for a while as I had heard great things about Andy's experience and authenticity. I wasn't disappointed. He was able to bring to life, via his own experience, expertise and knowledge this subject in a very rounded way. Understanding and having knowledge is one thing, but sharing practically how to apply skills in a way that really makes a difference is the icing on the cake. If you are looking for a CPD on PTSD I can highly recommend New Horizon Training and Andy Workman.

Taking the Fear out of Phobias. Excellent structure and delivery - very engaging and compelling; Neuroscience, general encouragement, nice structure to the 4-session approach, bringing in some elements that I had not previously considered (e.g. conversation directly with the subconscious, to boost confidence generally) - found most useful
Stefan Cook

Taking the Fear out of Phobias. Andy Workman was very knowledgeable and expert in his delivery and anecdotes that helped make this session relevant and helpful and memorable. The power of humour used to great effect. What I found most useful: A greater understanding of fear and phobias. A good structure upon which to base client sessions when dealing with phobias going forwards. I evaluated the role of the hypnotherapist more in the phobia sessions and I feel more confident how to gently 'challenge' the client’s irrational fear more and it was good to explore a different approach to how to use the Reframe in sessions live with clients using reframing open questions.

Here's what one of our participants had to say about what she enjoyed the most of the Quit Smoking and Vaping CPD for the Solution Focused Hypnotherapist: "The way the speaker guided us through the presentation as if we were the clients. It was very good, a lot of information and collateral provided. Good pace and able to ask questions at all times. I am only a student at the moment so the workshops are very useful to me"

Walking Therapy - A Solution Focused Approach with Karen Dunnet: - All the information provided regarding how a walking session should be organised, how the walking part should be in detail, trails and that we need to do the scaling twice, I found most useful. - It would give me the chance to go out with my clients, explore the nature while having a nice and relaxing session. People in London want to be in the nature more and more.

Working with Children and Young People for Hypnotherapists and Practitioners with Brad Smith: - Reassuring and not complicating things, made me feel safe working with children. - Brad was an engaging and friendly trainer. - I enjoyed hearing about case studies and the laid back way he presented topics such as safeguarding. - I did feel that I will work with more confidence with children now as it was empowering not to make a big deal and difference out of it!

Taking the Fear out of Phobias: I really enjoyed this course. It gave us a clear framework to follow and lots of education. I would definitely choose to do another course with Andy Workman. He makes things easy to understand. I feel more confident about treating fears and phobias now.

Ditch the Script - This was an excellent course that helped simplify and give me clarity on the structure of what I already do. I found it very empowering. It has already increased my confidence and understanding of what I already do but the confidence gained will empower me to have more belief in my abilities and allow me to practice from a truly intuitive place.

Solution Focused Approach to PTSD with Andy Workman. What I found most useful was the history of PTSD using the rewind techniques and techniques around an individual's triggers. I loved the history—always so informative and authentic. Again, another great CPD—informative and well-timed. I work with PTSD most days, and I also suffer myself, so I’ve taken some excellent tools to use in my practice. Excellent.

Habits of a Happy Brain for Therapists with Professor Loretta Breuning. The training gave me more of an understanding of how the brain works in terms of chemicals. I really enjoyed Loretta's training. Her enthusiasm for the subject was evident and she explained it in easy to understand terms. I have gained some very valuable knowledge that I am eager to incorporate into my hypnotherapy sessions. I look forward to her next event.

The Walking Therapy CPD was excellent, thank you. It is the perfect partner to solution focused hypnotherapy and I can’t wait to start adding it in to my sessions. Karen has really done her research and she delivers it extremely well. I also thought it was excellent value for money. I would really recommend it, even if it’s just for your own benefit!
Lisa Sinclair

What did you find most useful about the training? Learning about an alternative approach from the usual single session smoking cessation option. Also hearing about the use of a ppt presentation for the client during their therapy session as I hadn't come across that before. What did you find least useful about the training? I don't think there was anything that I would put in this category. I have attended an online training session with New Horizon before and very much enjoyed and benefitted from the information and knowledge I gained. I found Lisa, the presenters, and the other participants all very welcoming and the sessions were professionally delivered but in a relaxed way. I felt I could ask any questions without feeling embarrassed or uncomfortable - always a good sign! I also feel it is important to have the reassurance that the training has external accreditation from a quality perspective. Very reasonably priced too.

I am so glad I attended and I have booked two more. The content was fantastic, and Sarah was so knowledgeable, helpful, and a very open and patient trainer. She didn’t mind questions or interjections and was very happy to expand and check our understanding afterwards. I am so glad I have New Horizon's training company and these wonderful sessions!"

Having completed several CPD's with New Horizon Training my latest, Walking Therapy CPD did not disappoint. Each CPD I have attended through them has proven to be extremely helpful in either building existing knowledge or learning completely new things. The courses are nicely paced whilst being packed with helpful information. The trainers are knowledgeable whilst not afraid to say if they don't know something which I find extremely reassuring, they don't baffle with 'bull----' , (no one can know everything) I can trust in what they teach .

Weight Loss - A Mindset Approach with Sarah Sollom. How easy the course is to understand for clients and how uncomplicated the format is. I am delighted that I now feel I have the confidence to carry out weight loss classes. I have been wanting to share our knowledge in a group setting for a while and this CPD was great to gain the insight to be able to offer this to clients. I think the workings of the mind should be taught in schools and the more people we can get the information to the better. Sarah is an inspiration to still be spreading the word and passing on her valuable knowledge to other hypnotherapists, for which I am very grateful. To have access to course notes, powerpoint presentations and advertising leaflets is a generous and allows us to save time. Cannot recommend highly enough. Excellent.

I attended one workshop which was not what I had expected as I had already learned the content and thought there would be more information and techniques other than what I had already learned in CPHT. Lisa was very understanding and kindly allowed me to choose another workshop to compensate me for my disappointment. I thought that this was a wonderful gesture and I attended the Weight Loss - A Mindset Approach with Sarah Sollom today. I found this to be very informative and know that it has added to my skills as a solution focused hypnotherapist. Thank you Sarah and Lisa.

Lisa was my original teacher a couple of years ago. I have had some wobbles about my own confidence and saying the right thing to a client. Lisa has been absolutely amazing, with a bit extra tutoring on the weekend, going over from the beginning and how we talk to the client the minute they walk through the door to the scaling and miracle question etc. Lisa has re-ignited my spark , I feel happier with my abilities in one session and cant wait for the next.

The PTSD CPD course by Alan Workman was very informative. I learned vital information that I cannot wait to use with my clients. Andy stayed after the session to provide answers to any queries. He is a genuinely warm, approachable human with mountains of knowledge. I highly recommend this course.

I attended the quit smoking/vaping seminar and I can’t thank Sarah and Lisa enough for a very professional structured training . You will leave with a ready to employ quit smoking portfolio and a protocol which has been tested. Sarah is a great communicator and makes you feel empowered to help your clients quit smoking. Can’t be more grateful having attended this seminar.

Weight Loss - A Mindset Approach. What did you find most useful about the training? That we were provided with a "ready to go" package, especially the PowerPoint presentation. Tutor was very generous in allowing us to use these and her client handouts in a format that we could adapt and personalise for our own use. Excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed it. We had two five minute breaks which were a good idea as enabled us to get a bit of fresh air, stretch legs etc. However, for a morning session, lots was covered and it was time well spent. Feel highly motivated to get on with running my own course. Pam

It was a 7 hour course but flew by. Excellent. Sophie Walker.

"There are no words strong enough to express my depth of gratitude to you, wonderful Lisa, for the benefit I have felt and continue to feel, thanks to our fantastic hypnobirthing sessions together, ahead of my planned caesarean section for my second son. My first delivery of my elder son, now a healthy three year old, was unfortunately extremely traumatic, and ended in an emergency c section with my little boy spending four days in Neonatal Intensive Care, therefore it was really important to me that I was able to go into this second delivery feeling as relaxed and positive as possible. Our sessions quickly became the highlight of my week, and I came to realise how important it was to take the time out, both for myself and my developing child, to focus in a positive and grateful way on the gift and miracle of new life. The hypnobirthing tracks and accompanying resources were incredibly helpful in the lead up to the birth, and I am still using them now. Equally beneficial was the powerful 'rewind' exercise that we undertook, in order to alleviate the negative associations with particular situations I was still carrying due to my previous experience. Baby F arrived on December 19th 2016 in the most wonderful, peaceful way. It was just as my husband and I had wanted and Lisa and I had visualised and planned for during our sessions, and Grant and I were both overcome with tears of joy as our baby boy was delivered. Throughout the operation, I was able to use the fantastic techniques we had worked on together to soothe me, and enable me to experience a wonderful sense of calm. F is a lovely chilled out little chap, which I have no doubt is due in part to the amazing work we did together to enable our birth to be so perfect, in fact better than we could have dreamed!! Thank you so much for everything!!" January 20th 2017

Lisa is amazing and has literally changed my/our lives! I cannot recommend her highly enough. When I met Lisa I was a heavy smoker (35+ a day) not something I was proud of and had smoked for years!

Lisa combines her wealth of knowledge and experience with her naturally fun and engaging style of teaching, to really bring out the best in her students. She takes a genuine interest in their development and always goes the extra mile to ensure they have all the information they need both during training and following qualification. She offers a good variety of interesting and valuable CPDs, and as a Supervisor, I find her to be extremely approachable and someone who can be relied upon to give sound advice.

I cannot recommend Lisa enough for both supervision and training. The CPHT Diploma course which I attended with Lisa as lecturer was very well structured, informative as well as fun and interactive. I always looked forward to attending each class. Lisa has a wealth of knowledge and has such passion about her subject. I felt I learned so much from the course and felt supported by her all the way through. Lisa is always eager to help and support her students. It really is an excellent Course! I have always had Lisa as my supervisor since qualifying as a Solution Focused Hypnotherapist, and I know that she is there to support me with any concerns and queries. Lisa goes above and beyond to help her colleagues, and is always encouraging you to be your very best as a professional. Lisa always shows such empathy for others, and her caring nature shines through as well as her amazing smile and positivity!
