The UPTV has been amazing for my growth as a practitioner. I love watching the live demonstrations with the clients and seeing how I could use the techniques I learned in creative ways. I have qualified as a hypnotherapist three years ago and I only recently started to practice it with clients, so this UPTV has been a gift from God in my learning journey. The conversations with the clients help me massively to expand my knowledge and to feel confident in taking on clients with similar issues I saw demonstrated in the video. Previously, I wouldn’t have had the confidence that I can help clients. The courses here are very well put together with clear examples and videos where we can creatively use each technique. They are an amazing resource to learn about therapy and improve my techniques and it is something I wish all counselling school would recommend. I have been watching or listening to a client video twice a week and each time I am learning new things to support my client. I’ve had positive and rapid results with my clients due to this channel. I would recommend this to all the therapists.

I have benefited from incorporating some of the shared techniques modeled in your videos. For example, in working with clients who struggle with a number of disorders, I was able to identify and work on issues that were most urgent in order to assist the client with managing daily problems that interfere with their daily lives.

UPTV is a fantastic, vast resource that I can just pick up and put down when I have time. Being a trainee counsellor, it’s an opportunity to observe an experienced therapist putting into action what I have learnt in theory. What is really useful is the text provided, explaining Mark’s thought processes and how he envisages techniques helping with the client he is dealing with. Excellent value for money. Thank you for sharing.

I really enjoy the Uncommon Practitioners TV – seeing hypnotherapy ‘in action’ is very useful. It’s great to be able to see how Mark approaches the sessions, picking up on the clients language patterns and is a marvellous resource because after qualifying most hypnotherapists don’t get the opportunity to see other professionals at work. The breakdown on the techniques is great too. Can I also say how helpful I found the customer service team – great job. Thank you!

I have gained so much from the professional knowledge within the course and UPTV in general. It did scare me that I was being trained as a Hypnotherapist but had no background in Psychotherapy at all. I feel I am better equipped now and I still have the information to hand to re-visit whenever I need it. I definitely have a better understanding of why and how issues arise and the information was presented in a way that was easy to understand and related to real life examples. I have gained more confidence as a practitioner as a result and am now building up my practice. Highly recommended. Thank you.

UPTV provides a wonderfully accessible form of CPD for me. I trust the teaching that it provides and so am able to relax into consciously learning and unconsciously absorbing the ideas being presented.
Having completed my counselling training about a year ago and then returned to living overseas, I sometimes feel isolated as a practitioner. I have recognised that as a newly qualified practitioner it is important that I form good counselling habits. UPTV demonstrates best practice techniques which I am able to incorporate into my therapy naturally as I am watching them naturally rather than learning about them theoretically. UPTV is broadening my perspective, honing my creativity and reminding me how my theoretical learning can be practically applied. It helps me feel safe as a therapist and empowered to practice more effectively. I have already spotted areas in my own style that needed tweaking and have amended it accordingly. Watching the sessions deepens my learning both consciously and subconsciously and provides me with practical strategies, tools, reframes, metaphors and confidence to take into client sessions.
I try to watch a session each day and alternate between client sessions and the shorter technique demonstrations.

An invaluable resource for practitioners. Carefully crafted to give a wealth of information and suggestions and to provoke thought. As a means of professional development it’s unrivalled in my view. UPTV has given me knowledge and confidence and as such has benefited not just me, but more importantly my clients. Thank you so much.

I find watching Mark doing sessions is both educational and inspiring. The main things I really love are the stories, metaphors, and reframes he uses. I just have not found anyone else who is such a master at these skills and so generous with sharing them!
I feel like I’m learning a new reframe or story or metaphor all the time and it’s actually got my brain thinking so much in that way that I’m finding it easier and easier to come up with my own. Yesterday, in fact, a client I have helped with guilt, sleep, quitting smoking, and is now in for reducing her drinking, said to me, “I love your stories.” I thought afterwards myself, “Wow that’s nice! I’m guess I’m learning well from the best then.”
I also find the explanations of what Mark is doing really helpful and often pause the video to take it in. It allows me to pick up things that I otherwise miss, it gives me understanding and because it’s written on the screen, I feel like I also retain it better.
On an inspirational level, I find watching or even listening to Mark keeps me motivated and increases my confidence significantly. This may sound hilarious, but I actually tell myself that I’m just going to channel Mark Tyrell in my own Carolina way. I do chuck in Milton Erickson and a few others in there too! Great work, please keep it up.

I like the fact that material is covered in three ways: client session reconstructions, skills development using actors, and post-session analysis. The videos are well produced and clear. An enormous amount of material is on offer. The work is low-key and specific, without hype.
I’m using it for CPD purposes at the moment, because I have a background in counselling/CBT and am interested in learning more about solution-focused coaching. Watching techniques used in the client sessions and actor demonstrations is very useful to highlight the differences between counselling methods and coaching methods.

As a newly qualified hypnotherapist I can’t get enough of UPTV! I go off to watch one demonstration and resurface three demos later! Observing an experienced practitioner treating such a wide range of people and issues is invaluable; reading and listening has its place but watching live sessions is the cherry on top of the icing on the cake!
