Working with addictions CPD
This CPD will cover an overview of the abuse and misuse of drugs, the understanding of the mechanics behind addiction and dependence, and the principles of how to apply the SF framework with confidence in your sessions.
Working with clients to support abstinence from drugs of misuse can be immensely satisfying as a therapist and life-changing for the client, and this CPD expands on what you were taught on the Hypnotherapy Diploma Course.
If you are interested in working with clients with substance abuse and misuse but feel you lack the confidence to work with them effectively, then this one-day workshop will give you the support you need.
No other subject-specific knowledge is required other than what the CPHT course covered, as we will refresh and update your understanding of the neuroscience and brain-based facts you need (and probably a bit more!) to feel able to practice in this area.
Reviews
"I felt totally engaged with the course. I particularly enjoyed the neuroscience part. Having more knowledge about what's happening in the brain with addiction gives me more confidence to work with these clients. My IC will be better now and can tailor more specifically. I liked it that we were able to ask questions." – Vikki H 1 July 2026
