Personal growth

The program is not just a transfer of techniques, but a process of deep personal transformation.

Who is the hypnosis school for?

The program is for you if:

  • you want to gain the comprehensive knowledge and confidence that weekend courses cannot offer,
  • you have empathy and a sincere desire to help others,
  • you believe that true change is only possible through experience and personal growth,
  • you are willing to work on yourself, grow, and learn,

At the beginning, many people have doubts about whether this path is right for them—that’s completely normal 🙂

Enrollment is open all year round

What will you learn?

  • gain a holistic understanding of how the mind works
  • become a person with an open heart and a calm mind who doesn’t take anything personally
  • develop inner stability and maturity, which you, as a therapist, convey to others
  • establish genuine trust and a deep rapport with the client
  • use tools to confidently guide the client into a state of relaxation, insight, and transformation
  • master everything from simple inductions to the most modern hypnotherapy techniques
  • use Ericksonian hypnotherapy—indirect, permissive, and transformative work through storytelling
  • conduct conversational hypnotherapy – lead deep, transformative conversations in everyday life
  • develop the art of asking the right questions that guide the client ever deeper – regardless of their response to previous suggestions – so you’ll never get stuck in a session and not know how to proceed
  • choose the right approaches for the most common issues (stress, anxiety, insomnia, self-esteem, relationships…)
  • understand the basic principles underlying all hypnotic techniques, so that over time you can develop your own unique way of working
  • build a career and make a successful living as a hypnotherapist
  • maintain inner balance and prevent burnout
  • create a therapeutic space where the client feels safe, heard, and accepted

What does this program consciously not offer?

We do not offer quick fixes.We do not promise that you will “know how to hypnotize” after just a few days.We do not build a therapeutic identity based on scripts or memorized procedures.Instead, we learn to understand the person—their inner dynamics, unconscious processes, and the relationship that develops in the therapeutic space.

What does this program actually develop?

The program gradually develops:

  • the therapist’s inner stability and maturity,
  • the ability to make genuine contact and safely guide the client,
  • an understanding of the principles of hypnosis, not just individual techniques,
  • a presence that remains stable even when there are no clear answers or procedures.

We learn techniques—but never in isolation. Always within the context of relationship, ethics, and personal growth.

This school is intended for those who are not looking for shortcuts, but are ready to embark on a path that shapes not only knowledge, but also the person who carries that knowledge.

Enrollment is open all year round

Deep transformation, not just information

A two-year journey to true maturity.

Short-term shortcuts & quick fixes

Many training programs offer a quick overview, basic techniques, or weekend certificates that promise knowledge in a few days.

  • Identity built on scripts
  • Without a broader context
  • No room for personal integration

A gradual process of professional formation

The program is not designed as a transfer of techniques, but as organic growth, where knowledge intertwines with personal maturity.

  • Understanding the human being
  • Development of a unique therapeutic style
  • Deep personal transformation

What does the two-year program actually develop?

Inner stability

Developing a calm mind and maturity that allow you to stay present as a therapist.

Genuine contact

The ability to establish deep trust and a safe space for the client.

Understanding principles

Presence in silence

Stability and trust in the process even when there are no pre-prepared answers.

Become a therapist who knows how to guide others where most do not dare to go.

The consultation is free and completely non-binding. Together we check if this is the right path for you.

Enrollment is open all year round

First Year: Clinical Hypnotherapy

A holistic understanding of the mind and mastering a wide range of inductions, as well as basic and the most modern transformative techniques.

Second Year: Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy

The focus is on Ericksonian hypnotherapy (an indirect-permissive approach, transformation through telling hypnotic stories and metaphors) and the integration of knowledge into a unique therapeutic style.

What does the two-year study include?

You will not only gain knowledge, but become a therapist who knows how to guide others where most do not dare to go – into the depths of the mind, heart, and freedom.

Meetings live or via Zoom

Regular weekly meetings in Ljubljana are the heart of the program. It’s not just about lectures, but about a safe space where you hone your therapeutic presence through interaction with other participants.

Synthesis of theory, practice, and supervision

The program is designed so that you immediately transfer theoretical understanding into practice. Through exercises in pairs and regular supervision, you get immediate feedback on your work, which is crucial for developing confidence. Theoretical modules are supported by extensive practical materials.

Personal transformation of the therapist

We believe that a therapist can only be as stable as their own inner self is stable. A large part of the program is dedicated to your personal growth and the development of maturity that you will transfer to your clients. Individual support in overcoming your own blocks.

My name is thiru.iam from India i have been afraid of deth fear since 6 years and i took the two terapys really its amazing it brought new awareness to me thank you brother your therapy i definitely recommend..

Nika Sedlar

I visited Dr. Grunčić Krajnc based on a very warm recommendation from my personal physician. The first visit/contact felt like I was in a movie—the reception, the treatment… The first walk to his clinic was difficult for me; my legs, body, and head felt heavy. However, right after the first session and completed therapy, I felt relief, as if I had jumped straight up from a lying position and landed firmly on my feet. Because of this, I looked forward to every single therapy appointment. Through the therapies (where finally, there were no medications that only further ‘cover up’ the condition), I discovered how many things I had buried deep within my subconscious that were the quiet, hidden cause of my anxiety, distress, depression, and subsequent exhaustion. I am grateful for this experience. To anyone facing things they feel they cannot process on their own, I would warmly recommend a session, just as my doctor did for me—for which I am also immensely grateful. Of course, one must also be aware of the fact that nothing happens overnight; it takes willpower, desire… It is definitely easier said than done. That is why help is always welcome. The path to happiness is much easier when we support people with good intentions. Traveling the path to happiness is much, much easier with people we can trust!

Nika Sedlar

“With you, I entered the deepest corners of my being, beyond the conscious mind. There, I experienced a deep inner peace, shed all the weight of my past life, and became friends with my thoughts, emotions, and feelings. I discovered joy, gladness, and happiness in their purest form, completely detached from material goods or life relationships. I can always return to these depths. The insights I gained with you are my greatest wealth, something that cannot be bought anywhere. My life has become much better. I came to know you as someone who is always ready to help, highly professionally qualified, and a good person. I recommend this to everyone, for all levels of life. Aleksander, a sincere THANK YOU.

Nika Sedlar

I am immensely grateful that I met Aleksander and decided to try his hypnotherapy. I perceived Aleksander as someone whose desire to help others is truly authentic. With his approach—the right choice of words and actions, a different perspective, his presence, acceptance, and calmness—he helped me overcome a challenge that had been troubling me for quite a while. At the same time, I discovered something completely new, something that until then had been entirely unknown to me. Aleksander, thank you for everything. And I truly, warmly recommend this to anyone who desires lasting change. ☀️
