The Layered Transformation Method is a trauma-informed method that integrates Ericksonian hypnosis, breathwork, and core-wound practice to reach and release the emotional imprints held beneath conscious awareness. It draws on depth psychology, hypnotherapy, and ancient healing traditions to restore inner balance and support lasting self-regulation.

The work is rooted in the understanding that the conclusions a person drew about themselves early in life were never formed by thinking, and don't yield to it - which is why insight alone so often changes nothing. Through hypnosis, breath, and guided inner work, clients reach the layer where those patterns actually live, meet them directly, and find their way back to a natural state of safety, vitality, and connection.

Talk therapy works through understanding - which is why people so often arrive able to explain their problem in detail and still find it unchanged. The patterns that drive a life were formed before language, and insight doesn't reach them. This method works underneath the explanation, using hypnosis and breath to reach the layer where the pattern actually lives.

Many somatic practices reach that layer too. What sets this apart is structure: ten core wounds, each worked in a defined order, each session building on the last - a progression rather than a single technique repeated.

You do not need to be working as a therapist or coach. But you do need to have done some meaningful inner work yourself. This training asks you to go to depth - with yourself and with others - and that requires a level of self-awareness that only comes through your own healing journey. If you are unsure whether you qualify, we will talk it through on the call.

Not necessarily. What matters is that you have done real healing work, with someone, somewhere, and that you can show up with awareness of your own patterns and wounds. Keith will assess this in the call before you join.

Most people who join want to work with others professionally. But some come because they want to go deeper in their own healing and learn the method for personal reasons. Both are welcome, as long as the prerequisite is met.

Plan for the live session plus time to integrate and practise between sessions. Roughly four to six hours per week depending on where you are in the programme.

Approximately 240 hours across both modules - including live sessions, self-study, practice sessions and integration work.

Every session is recorded. Life happens and we understand that. We ask that you watch recordings promptly and stay current with the material so the group can move forward together.

Because it is easily learnable and to facilitate. The method is a structure, not an art you spend years developing an instinct for - you learn the sequence and you follow it. There is no interpreting what a client's material means, no diagnosing, no deciding in the moment what to do next. You practise the script until it's yours, and then you facilitate.

That structure is also what makes it sustainable to hold. You are not carrying the weight of working out what someone needs, or holding their story for them. The work does the work. And because the sequence is built to move rather than to explore, clients feel something shift from the first session.
