You have a wonderful course. I was looking for a certification course that was more than the weekend workshops I have heard about. I was thrilled to have found yours.

While the prospect of learning a new skill can be daunting, Sheldon makes the process easy to understand and taught in a way that is easy to retain. I wouldn't hesitate to refer prospective students to The Orca Institute.

Sheldon has a wealth of knowledge and cares deeply for his students. His greatest quality as a therapist is his ability to be fully present with his client, allowing his own creativity to complement his client search for solutions.

Our programs are designed for the individual who truly wants to excel and prosper in their new professional practice as a Counselling Hypnotherapist!

No weekend/short course program can or will ever prepare you to succeed at your new profession.
Our courses are not the least expensive or briefest,...They are simply the best and most comprehensive Counselling Hypnotherapy programs available anywhere!

Our training takes time and has legitimate goals. They include extensive practicum requirements, written reports, exams and more, all which must be completed successfully before your Professional accreditation is achieved.

In short, we are not looking for everyone interested in this field, but rather a select few who are intent on becoming highly trained and skilled professionals. Our small class sizes are a reflection of our dedication to giving each student our full support in their learning journey.
