Learn at Your Own Pace

Study when it suits you, without deadlines or pressure. With video lessons, comprehensive manuals, and practical exercises, you can take the time you need to understand the material and revisit lessons whenever you like.

Learn from 25+ Years of Experience

This training is built on more than two decades of working with real clients. I'll share what I've learned, how I approach challenging situations, and the clinical reasoning behind the decisions I make in the therapy room.

Develop Real-World Skills

Learn how to conduct consultations, understand subconscious patterns, create personalized sessions, and adapt techniques to different clients. You'll develop the skills to think independently rather than simply follow a script.

A Different Approach to Hypnotherapy

Work With the Whole Mind, Not Just the Subconscious Many traditional approaches to hypnotherapy place a great deal of emphasis on hypnotic depth and delivering suggestions. But what happens when a client doesn't go particularly deep? Or when their conscious mind questions everything you're saying? That's where Whole Brain Hypnotherapy takes a different approach. Rather than trying to bypass the conscious mind, we work with it. We explore how beliefs developed, why certain patterns and symptoms make sense in the context of someone's experiences, and what the subconscious mind may need to understand for change to happen. You'll learn how to engage both the conscious and subconscious mind, develop effective hypnotic arguments, and create sessions that address the individual rather than simply the symptom. Because effective hypnotherapy isn't about how deeply someone goes. It's about what happens while they're there.

What You'll Learn

Understand the Subconscious Mind

This training takes you beyond simply learning hypnosis techniques. You'll develop the knowledge and practical skills to understand your clients, identify what's contributing to their challenges, and create personalized therapeutic sessions. Explore how beliefs, emotions, and behavioral patterns develop, and how subconscious learning can influence the way people think, feel, and respond.

Create Personalized Hypnotherapy Sessions

Learn how to ask meaningful questions, recognize patterns, uncover contributing experiences, and gather the information you need to plan effective sessions. Learn to use the ABC chart, develop hypnotic arguments, and select techniques based on each client's individual needs rather than relying on generic scripts.

Develop Your Therapeutic Skills

Practice inductions, deepeners, suggestion work, and therapeutic techniques while learning how to adapt your approach to different clients and situations. Apply what you're learning through practical exercises, consultations, and hypnosis sessions as you develop your skills and therapeutic judgment.

Three Ways to Learn at Horizon Center

 Your Training. Your Schedule. Your Choice. Everyone learns differently. Some people enjoy studying independently, while others want opportunities to ask questions, watch demonstrations, practice with fellow students, and receive personal feedback. That's why I've created three ways to learn. Your self-paced Practitioner Training provides the foundation. You can complete it independently or add live learning experiences to suit your goals, schedule, and learning style. Live workshops, memberships, supervised practice programs, and the Six-Month Live Practice & Mentorship Program are optional additions purchased separately. You can begin independently and add opportunities as your interests and needs change. Explore Options Below...

1. Learn Independently

Complete Professional Training at Your Own Pace Work through comprehensive video lessons, manuals, exercises, and practical training on your own schedule. Study when it suits you, revisit material whenever you like, and develop your skills without the pressure of deadlines. Your complete self-paced Practitioner Training is included in your course tuition

2. Customize Your Learning

Add Live Learning and Support Whenever You Want It Want extra guidance along the way? Choose from live Ask Me Anything sessions, hands-on workshops, real client observations through Inside the Session Lab, supervised practice, and private mentoring. Attend individual events or choose a monthly membership that brings several opportunities together. You decide how much additional support you'd like and when you'd like it.

3. Learn Through Live Practice & Mentorship

Six Months. 60 Live Hours. Real Practice. Personal Feedback. Join me for one full weekend each month from January through June 2027. You'll participate in live teaching, supervised partner practice, consultations, technique training, group discussions, and personalized feedback. Designed for students who have reached Unit 10 or beyond, this program helps you develop your skills, confidence, and therapeutic reasoning alongside fellow students.

Learn for Personal Growth or Prepare for Professional Certification

One Comprehensive Training. Two Different Goals. Whether you're exploring hypnotherapy for personal interest, adding skills to an existing practice, or preparing for a new career, Horizon Center's Practitioner Training gives you the same comprehensive education. What changes is how you complete and document your training. **Personal Interest & Professional Skill Development** Explore hypnotherapy, develop practical skills, and apply what you learn at your own pace. You'll complete practice sessions, while written assignments and exams are optional. You're always welcome to submit your work for feedback. **Professional Certification Preparation** Planning to apply for certification with a professional hypnotherapy association? You'll complete the full curriculum, required assignments, written exam, and practice hours, maintaining a minimum overall grade of 80%. Students who meet these requirements receive a Certificate of Completion and transcript to support their application. **Important to Know** Professional certification is granted by external associations, not Horizon Center. Each association sets its own standards, and some may require additional live instruction or supervised practice. If you have a particular association in mind, I encourage you to check its requirements before beginning. You're also welcome to contact me to discuss how our optional live training and mentorship opportunities might support your goals. **You don't have to make a permanent decision today. You can change your learning track as your goals evolve.**

Meet Your Instructor, Linda Sevilla

Hi, I'm Linda! I've been practicing hypnotherapy since 1999 and teaching others how to become hypnotherapists since 2004. Over the years, I've worked with clients facing all kinds of challenges, and one thing I've learned is that no two people are exactly alike. That's why I believe effective hypnotherapy requires much more than memorizing scripts and learning techniques. I developed Whole Brain Hypnotherapy to teach practitioners how to work with both the conscious and subconscious mind, understand the reasons behind a client's symptoms, and create personalized approaches that make sense for the individual. My background in education has also shaped how I teach. I want you to understand the material, not simply memorize it. And I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas, and developing your own therapeutic reasoning. Throughout this training, I'll share the knowledge, techniques, and practical experience I've gained from more than 25 years of working with clients. My goal is to help you become a thoughtful, capable, and confident hypnotherapist who understands not just what to do, but why you're doing it. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to share this work with you!

I am so happy I decided to study hypnotherapy with Linda. Of all the post-secondary and continuing education I have done, this was by far the most value for the money. She has the rare quality of being a phenomenally talented practitioner and also an engaging teacher – not everyone can excel at both roles, but she does. I would recommend her course because she not only has years of technical experience and a wealth of knowledge to share, but also holds a teaching degree and it shows. Her presentation of the material was detailed, well organized, and comprehensive. She’s also a very compassionate, sensitive, and attentive facilitator when it comes to group sharing and discussion. I looked forward to every class and was sad when it was over!Learning hypnosis is a life-changing experience whether you go on to practice professionally, simply incorporate parts into your current therapeutic work, or are just interested in learning how to make improvements in your own life. It truly is an indispensable life skill with so many practical applications and I would recommend Linda’s course without reservation.

Linda Campbell's Horizon Center School of Hypnotherapy is a fantastic personal and professional learning experience that has given me a thorough background in hypnotherapy, as well as many practical tools I can use with my clients. Having previously completed a Master's Degree in Social Work, countless professional development trainings, and over ten years in the fields of mental health and complementary health, I am confident in saying that Linda's training is top-notch. Linda brings not only a wealth of hypnotherapeutic skill and knowledge to her classroom, but also fantastic teaching methodology, ethical integrity and enthusiasm for her students' growth. I would highly recommend The Horizon Center to anyone looking to enter the field of hypnotherapy, or to expand their existing therapeutic practice. -

Have you ever wondered what is would be like to finally figure out what you want to be when you grow up? Not only that but to also find a School and an Educator who can help you to learn what it means to understand more about who you are and how you show up to the world in the process. ​Discovering Linda Campbell & The Horizon Center School of Hypnotherapy literally changed my life. From the well thought out educational materials and safe environment that Linda creates in and out of her classroom, to the personal work I had not anticipated would be so healing & supports me in holding space for others. Learning the art of Client Centered Hypnotherapy under Linda’s guidance has allowed me to open a successful private hypnotherapy practice, to feel more energized and fulfilled at the end of my day than I do when I walk in the door and to be empowered to create the life for myself and my family that I have always had on my vision board. ​If you are looking to effect change in your own lives and to learn how to support & empower change in the lives of others this is absolutely the right school and journey for you!

It is a comprehensive program that covers everything I needed to know to start my practice: theory, techniques, ethics, applications, starting a business and more. The written material provides a broad and deep foundation to build on and has become my go-to reference. Linda presents the material with skill and compassion and draws the best out of her students. She is immensely supportive and genuinely wants her students to succeed, and to that end, she does everything she can to help them do so. The program provides ample opportunity for students to practice and grow their skills to be ready to help clients right away.

It has been the most rewarding journey I’ve ever had both personally and educationally. If I only knew then what I know now... I can’t say enough on how much my world has opened up in discovery. Cheers to Linda Campbell who is an exceptional teacher!

I highly recommend this program! I feel very grateful to have found Linda and taken her Hypnotherapy course. Her philosophy and strategies resonated with me immediately. The year flew by and here I am, having graduated only recently, and already getting great results and enjoying a quickly growing clientele! I honestly couldn't be happier with the quality of the education I received, as well as the ongoing support which continues indefinitely. She made a point of cultivating a connectivity with my fellow students, and I know that I have a family of contemporaries that I can turn to for support at any time.
