About us
About The College of Coaching and Hypnotherapy (TCCH)
Our Story
The College of Coaching and Hypnotherapy (TCCH) began life in 2010 as the Manchester College of Coaching and Hypnotherapy. Thousands of students have trained with us over the years, building skills that have changed their own lives and the lives of the people they go on to work with.
In 2019, we introduced distance learning to make training accessible no matter where you lived. In 2021, we opened our own dedicated training centre in Glasgow. And in 2025, we rebranded as TCCH to reflect a modern, flexible approach to hypnotherapy training.
One thing has always stayed the same: the belief that good therapy training should feel real, human, and practical.
Who We Are
We are practising therapists as well as trainers. What we teach in the classroom is the same as what we use every week with clients in real therapy sessions.
Our courses are accredited by professional bodies including GHSC, CNHC, IHA, BSCH, and ACCPH. These organisations form part of the UK’s professional standards framework, with registers like the CNHC approved by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA) the same independent body that oversees organisations such as the General Medical Council.

What Our STUDENTS Say...
We’re proud of the feedback our students share:
“One of the best training courses I have been on. So glad I signed up for it as I learned so much and can’t wait to do the Diploma!! Would highly recommend this course to anyone not only because it is accredited and great value for money but because of the support during and after the course too.”
“I have just completed the first part of my hypnotherapy course, it was amazing! I would highly recommend learning with andy, he is very professional, helpful and friendly at the same time. He will make you feel very relaxed and welcome. I cant wait to go on and do my diploma course in the summer with such a lovely bunch of girls I met on the course.”
I have just completed the Hypnotherapy Diploma Course delivered by Andy – the whole learning experience was amazing. Andy’s experience and teaching approach helped me get the most out of the course. I feel properly prepared to go out and begin my work as a therapist. Thank you Andy.
