Glynis Bretherton is a highly respected professional in clinical hypnotherapy, counselling, education, and mentoring. She is dedicated to guiding the next generation of hypnotherapists. Glynis is the founder of Hypnotherapy Training College Australia (HTCA) and Dubai.

Through her extensive international network, she fosters strong business relationships and collaborations. This ensures that hypnotherapy continues to evolve as a recognized and respected profession.
A Legacy in Hypnotherapy & Psychotherapy Education
With over 20 years of experience, Glynis began her career as a counsellor and clinical hypnotherapist, helping individuals struggling with addictions, trauma, and challenging life circumstances. Her work as a family support worker and committee member for organizations such as Families Now further underscores her dedication to assisting families affected by domestic violence and crisis situations.
Her journey led her to expand beyond private practice, offering hypnotherapy in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and internationally. A turning point came when a group of psychologists invited her to teach hypnosis training, which led to the creation of her Certificate of Clinical Hypnosis and eventually the Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Applied Psychotherapy.
Recognizing a gap in hypnotherapy education, Glynis integrated psychotherapy techniques into her curriculum. What began as a small class of six students has now evolved into a highly respected hypnotherapy education platform, reaching thousands of students in Australia, the UAE, South Africa, and beyond.
