UK Therapy Guild Academy of Integrative Counselling & Hypnotherapy is a heart-led training organisation offering high-quality, inclusive, and ethically grounded education in counselling, hypnotherapy, and integrative therapeutic approaches. At the Academy, we believe that effective therapy training begins with connection, compassion, and authenticity — values we place at the center of everything we do.
Founded by myself, Nichola Doyle, the Academy grew from a deeply personal calling — to help break the cycle of “hurt people, hurting people.” Having witnessed the generational impact of unprocessed trauma and emotional pain, I wanted to create a safe, nurturing space where future therapists could be supported not just in their academic development, but in their personal healing and growth too.
Our courses blend clinical rigour with creativity, reflection, and soul, drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities including Person-Centred Therapy, CBT, hypnotherapy, mindfulness, and more. We’re here for people at all stages of their journey — whether you’re just beginning your path as a therapist, or seeking to deepen and diversify your practice.
As part of the wider UK Therapy Guild, the Academy stands for affordable access to therapy, professional integrity, and practitioner well-being. Through this work, I hope to empower a new generation of therapists to lead with empathy, courage, and wisdom — and to help heal, rather than repeat, the patterns of the past.
