# The Trance Cafe
The Trance Cafe is a Newcastle-based hypnotherapy and NLP practice group that operates as both a professional development forum and peer supervision space for practitioners. Founded and facilitated by Nigel Hetherington, a hypnotherapist and neurolinguist, the organisation brings together NLP practitioners, therapists, hypnotherapists, coaches, counsellors and those new to these fields for monthly gatherings.
The group meets both online and in-person at Jesmond Dene Conference Centre, creating an accessible environment for professional learning and collaborative practice. What distinguishes The Trance Cafe is its emphasis on practical, experiential exploration rather than didactic instruction. Sessions examine real-world applications of NLP and hypnotherapy techniques—from analysing non-verbal communication and gesture patterns to exploring rapport-building and problem-solving approaches, including New Code NLP methodologies.
The Trance Cafe serves dual purposes: providing continuing professional development for qualified practitioners whilst remaining welcoming and approachable for complete newcomers curious about these therapeutic modalities. This inclusive positioning allows experienced therapists to maintain their practice and supervision requirements whilst simultaneously introducing hypnotherapy and NLP to curious individuals considering formal training.
The organisation also offers formal NLP Practitioner and NLP Master Practitioner training courses for those seeking comprehensive qualifications. Through free educational YouTube content and regular practice days, The Trance Cafe establishes itself as an open, community-oriented hub for therapeutic excellence in the North East.
