People want and need change

Be the one who can actually empower people to change.

Insight alone

Understanding why.

Knowing why a problem started rarely changes how it runs.

Motivation alone

Feeling fired up.

It fades, and the old pattern is still there.

What we teach

Here’s how you change.

The maps and methods behind real change — command and agency over your own mind and behaviour.

One integrated course

One course for every problem they bring.

The only course that gives you the real-world therapy, coaching and personal development tools to change almost any mind, emotion, belief and behaviour problem.

Alistair Horscroft, founder of The Mind Academy
Alistair Horscroft · Founder, The Mind Academy

“I’ve spent 20 years creating the most comprehensive, exciting and life-changing training of its kind.”

Over 20 years ago I created the training I would have loved to have had when I first started — extraordinary depth with immediate practical simplicity, built for what people really need in the real world — and I’ve kept evolving it so it always remains at the leading edge.

I was the first person in the world to have a Discovery Channel TV series using hypnosis, NLP and coaching, and spent many years as the resident mind–body coach on UK television. Across more than 20 years and 10,000 sessions, I built the methods The Mind Academy has taught since 2004.

My approaches have been used by

  • Hundreds of people with phobias at our Fearless program with Taronga Zoo — most resolved in a single day.
  • Olympians, UFC fighters, CEOs and entrepreneurs — and people from all walks of life — to resolve and thrive.
  • Psychologists, therapists and coaches who trained with me and now use TMA methods as their number-one choice.
  • Graduates who have gone on to make an amazing living transforming lives — part-time, full-time, online and in clinic.
The Mind Dynamics Journey

Eleven days in the room.
Six months at your side.

Every day you work on real people, under supervision. You leave with demonstrated ability — then we support you as you build success.

Before Day One — Pre-Study
Arrive already ahead.

Real textbooks, manuals and video courses on coaching, NLP and subconscious change — sent to you before the training begins.

The Live Training — Week OneThe Foundations of Change
Day 1
Hypnotise someone. For real.

You learn the core maps of success and change — then by the end of the day you've guided a real person into genuine hypnosis and connected them to their own inner strength.

Day 2
Read people like an open book.

How human experience is coded — consciously and unconsciously — and how to change a problem feeling in minutes.

Day 3
Resolve a phobia.

The famous rewind technique — dissolving in under an hour what someone has carried for thirty years. You also learn to work with simple trauma, criticism and negativity.

Day 4
Hear the subconscious speak.

The underlying patterns of relationship stress and failure — and how to resolve them. Plus how to find the real problem hiding underneath what people tell you.

Day 5
Break decades-old patterns.

Habits, self-sabotage, inner conflict — a reliable process for each, practised until it works in your hands.

Day 6
Coach like a professional.

The complete TMA coaching structure — turning a vague wish into an outcome the mind actually pursues.

The Live Training — Week TwoThe Deeper Work
Day 7
Work with the deep mind directly.

Hypno-analysis and timelines — reaching the root of problems in minutes, following the unconscious instead of fighting it.

Day 8
Work with trauma. Safely.

Help people release what they've carried for years — plus parts work that resolves inner conflict and self-sabotage.

Day 9
Master the new model of addiction.

It's not a disease. Find the unmet need driving the behaviour, resolve it where it lives — and take the power out of the craving.

Day 10
Work with identity itself.

Limiting and toxic beliefs, and the deepest level of change — work clients describe as life-changing.

Day 11
Run complete sessions, start to finish.

The whole system, on real people, under supervision — plus the maps for smoking, weight loss, anxiety, depression and so much more. You leave with the demonstrated ability to create change.

After the Training

The room is where it starts.
Not where it ends.

Quite simply, the industry's best ongoing support program.

Months 1–6
Live 6-Month Mentoring

You're supervised to success — live, with me.

  • Deeper detail on every method
  • New techniques added month by month
  • Ask anything, on any client, any time

Government accredited vs professional association accreditation.

Hypnotherapy, coaching and NLP aren’t government-registered professions in Australia, so there’s no government licence to practise. What clients and insurers look for is professional association membership, and Mind Dynamics gives you a pathway to five: AHA, ASCH, IICT, the Association for Coaching and the NLP Association of Asia Pacific.

We know the accredited route from the inside. We built a government-accredited course and ran it for eight years, then dropped it because students wanted the simpler, more practical association pathway instead.
