ONLINE EVENT (VIA ZOOM) 20th & 21st SEPTEMBER 2025.
Join Alistair and a like minded group of people online in an inspiring, practical and life changing learning environment as you learn the new hypnosis way to heal and transform using the power of The Hummingbird Method
Forget Scripts, Regression, Time-lines, Complex Language Patterns or Conversational Hypnosis Language Tricks or spending hours prepping audio tracks your client may never even listen to.
This is the Simpler, Faster, More Effective Way to Create Life Changing Breakthroughs.
The Hummingbird Method is a radically different, super simple framework that helps hypnotherapists, coaches, NLPs and healers create real breakthroughs — without the excessive therapy drama, without the scripts, without having to master countless complex language patterns and without having to "hope it worked."
Not Another Script. Not Another Hard To Follow Process That Doesn't Deliver. Instead A Complete Shift in How You Do Hypnosis
This is not:
Reading scripts or reciting Ericksonian patterns
Giving feel good visualisation techniques that don’t deliver any real change
Getting lost in language loops that your client doesn't follow
Trying to resolve issues through reframes and meaning
Thinking you working with unconscious mind when in fact (like so many therapists) you actually are not.
Trying to build 100 tools for 100 problems
The Hummingbird Method is a whole new operating system. It’s principles-based. Results -driven. Therapist-tested. It works in real sessions, in real time, with real people — even when nothing else has.
And it gets results fast. Leaving your clients blown away, happy, transformed and ready to refer !
MASTER the single most important mechanism in all of therapy, healing and change work.
It’s incredible (and no fault of your own) that the single most important mechanism in all of therapy and change work is not taught let alone understood by pretty much any training school in the world, be that psychotherapy, clinical psychology, coaching, NLP or hypnotherapy.
The Hummingbird Method changes this and gives you not just the mechanism but the most powerful, simple and elegant ways of using it ever taught. Giving you the missing peace that you never knew you didn’t know, but changes everything.
What Makes THM So Different?
Other programs claim to teach you to work with the unconscious mind - but more often than people realise that is not what is happening. Instead people are paradoxically and ironically trying to work consciously with the unconscious and that just doesn’t work.
6 Real reasons this method is truly different:
REASON 1 - You learn how to 100% ensure you are truly working with the unconscious mind - most NLP trainers and even hypnotherapists often are not.
REASON 2 - Most hypnosis, psychotherapy, healing and NLP trainings fill your head with models, jargon, fantasy, and excessive language — where what you really need is very simple, direct and precise language that is the absolute opposite of complex. It is a fact that the deeper someone goes into hypnosis or connects with their unconscious mind, the simpler and more direct your language has to become. This fact is lost on so called Conversational Hypnosis peddlers and ‘clever’ NLP trainers and practitioners.
REASON 3 - The language of the unconscious is dominantly symbolic - if your main methods are not dominantly symbolic then you have a massive miss-match and will spend years wondering why real rapid and lasting change eludes you.
REASON 4 - Meaning and insight happen AFTER a process has been run, if you are trying to get meaning and insight during a process then you have not yet been taught the order in which true change happen which will be massive affecting your success.
REASON 5 - The ISOMORPHIC MECHANISM - without truly understanding how this mechanism works you can’t really say that you understand the mind, symbolism or change work, the secret to why most unconscious change happens will always elude you and be a mystery.
REASON 6 - Symbolic Narratives - trying to ‘fix’, ‘get rid’ of, ‘remove’, ‘stop’ or ‘break’ problems is not in alignment with how life or change work really happens. Life is a narrative based structure as is the unconscious mind, when we truly understand this is when the magic of change at the unconscious level really happens.
With the Hummingbird Method, you’ll:
Learn an incredibly simple, yet mind blowing and powerful framework that does not require complex language
Finally understand when you are actually working with the unconscious mind - with no doubt at all
Work with the true language of the unconscious - the symbolic langauge
Be able to handle trauma in a way that keeps your client safe, empowered and in control
Be able to resolve life blocks like a literal and metaphoric knife through butter - effortlessly
Create boundaries that allow your clients to truly be able to be safe while being able to engage with others - even when those others are highly toxic and problematic.
What you will be able to do with The Hummingbird Hypnosis Method:
Go straight to the unconscious root cause of problems without weeks and months of talk
Unlock deep emotional release (even from complex trauma) safely without without flooding, dissociating, or retraumatizing.
Collapse self-sabotage and internal conflict. No more endless “I know what to do, but I just don’t do it.”
Regulate the nervous system in real time Even in intense work, the technique would keep both client and therapist grounded and calm — so the client stays inside their window of tolerance
Turn insight into embodied, lasting change. Not just “aha” moments — but actual shifts in how the client feels, reacts, and lives outside the session. So clients walk away acting, thinking, and relating differently — sometimes instantly.
The 2 Day Training Experience
Day 1: The Core Framework & the Language of the Spontaneous Unconscious
Understand the Real Mind:
Discover why most hypnosis, healing and NLP stays trapped in the associational unconscious (loops, bubbling thoughts, forced metaphors and conscious attempts to make change)
Learn to work instead with the spontaneous unconscious — where rich, symbolic narratives appear spontaneously from the deeper unconscious mind.
Symbolism, Archetypes & Narratives:
Learn why the unconscious mind speaks primarily in implicit symbolic metaphor.
Explore how our ancestral genetics hardwire narrative, metaphor & archetypes as the true language of deep change.
Identify & Work With Gestalts:
Discover how issues like trauma, anxiety and life blocks are actually gestalts — multi-layered complexes of thoughts, feelings, memories and history and why labelling a problem as a singular issue often prevents full healing and resolve.
Learn how to help your client map, externalise and transform these gestalts through symbolism
The 5-Step Hummingbird Core Process:
Identify the complex/gestalt and conscious problem narrative
Connect with the deeper mind using a choice of simple hypnotic processes and clean language prompts.
Engage true deep mind symbolic representation & let the narrative unfold.
Reach spontaneous resolution & integration.
Conscious reflection & talk-through for real-world integration and insight
Working with Boundaries
Run the core process to update boundaries:
Identify the client's current boundary ‘settings’ and then use the THM to optimise it so they feel safe and are able to keep safe even around toxic and problem people.
Test it against real people from the client’s life
Clean Language & Non-Interference:
Practice the unique Hummingbird Method approach to clean language: learn to keep your own meaning out, and let the unconscious lead.
Master curiosity over expectation: why “not knowing” and trusting the clients unconscious is the real power.
Day 2: Advanced Applications, Mastery & Real Change
Isomorphic Mapping & Domain Transitions:
Learn the magic of isomorphic metaphor: how changes in the symbolic domain map across into real life.
Trauma, Anxiety, Life Blocks, Addictions, Nightmares & other Common Problems :
Apply trauma-specific protocols: dealing with abreaction, allowing somatic release.
Work with deep loops like addiction, anxiety & depression by letting the deeper mind reveal what’s really going on, not just what the conscious mind thinks.
Mastery & Freestyle Hypnosis:
Move beyond the “step-by-step” to a live, flowing therapeutic style
Recognise spontaneous unconscious moments and amplify them.
Develop intuitive, improvisational skill — while staying clean, symbolic and client-led
Meaning, Insight & Integration:
Learn why real insight comes after the process, not during.
Guide your client to integrate symbolic resolutions into conscious life
Conversational Hypnosis Was Supposed to Be the Evolution — It Became Another Trap - I call it ‘The Yap Trap’.
What started as a rebellion against script-reading has become its own mess:
Meta models that sound robotic, confused and purposeless.
Endless attempts at trying to ‘untie’ knots, identify and break ‘loops’ and ‘re-frame’ and ‘time distort’ that end up more often than not turning into sessions of ‘convincing and hoping’
Pattern stacking that confuses more than it changes
Coaches trying to “hypno-talk” their way through breakthroughs that ends up being convoluted babble.
Trying to spot ‘unconscious moments’ that have you chasing your trail.
The Hummingbird Method is simpler. Cleaner. Stronger. It’s not about all the ‘clever’ things you say — it’s about what you can get to happen, heal and change with just a few simple words and phrases.
There is a good reason that THM grads say that this method is the GO TO method they now use most of the time.
The Hummingbird Effect Is REAL and the basis of my hypnosis method.
Why it's called “The Hummingbird Method?”
The “Hummingbird Effect” is a documented phenomenon explored by innovators and complexity theorists, showing how an innovation or shift in one field can trigger powerful, often unexpected changes in entirely different domains. Unlike the butterfly effect—which is random and chaotic—the hummingbird effect suggests an intentional, meaningful ripple effect. It shows how a deliberate change in one domain can spark surprising yet valuable breakthroughs in another.
With The Hummingbird Method, we make shifts in the symbolic and metaphoric domain that cause powerful and transformative ripples in a person’s real-life experience. Instead of stacking scripts and patterns, we create targeted, well-timed interventions that activate chain-reaction change deep within the unconscious mind.
True Unconscious Mind Work (more rare than most hypnotherapists, healers and NLP’ realise.
Responsiveness – The method adapts dynamically in real time, without the need for conscious control or input.
Nonlinear Breakthrough – A single metaphor, question, or shift unlocks deep and lasting transformation.
Who Am I To Be Saying All This With Such Authority & Confidence?
Well, lets get the CV over and done with as I truly have one of ‘the best’ real-world CVs in the world in this field and yet have mostly remained out of the spot light for the last decade as I worked on creating new methods and approaches to address all the ‘phoney baloney’ and ‘noise’ that has come about due to social media and overnight experts, but now I’m back !
Over 10,000 client sessions spanning 25 years of elite-level therapy and coaching experience
Trainer for over 20 years, helping thousands of practitioners worldwide
Founder of leading training college, The Mind Academy
First person to have my own Discovery Channel TV series on Hypnosis and NLP
TED Talk watched by over 1.5 million people
Creator and facilitator of the famous Fearless program that has resolved more phobias than anyone else globally
More TV and media appearances than almost anyone in the field
Worked with Olympians, World Champions, CEOs, celebrities, and top performers to unlock peak mental and physical performance
Developed government-accredited courses in psychology and programs to help the long-term unemployed
Helped thousands overcome trauma, anxiety, addiction, and countless other issues
All this is true and a google search will prove it so, and I’m proud of it but the truth is, it’s all well and good that I can do all this, but I’m just one person and without methods and processes being able to be easily learned and used by others, we really can’t help that many people in the scheme of things.
So I have now opened up the training to anyone in the coaching, healing and therapy world wanting to add a true hypnosis method that will become their favourite and most used process as they help their clients and loved ones.
