A completely new approach to training therapists who were practising traditional hypnotherapy techniques, was commenced in Sydney NSW, in 1990.  The philosophies underlying the therapy methods and also the training format were different to anything previously undertaken in Australia.  Therapists were introduced to a completely new and different understanding of how the subconscious part of us creates, maintains and ultimately resolves the cause of many of our day-to-day problems.

During the ensuing years, the training program was gradually refined as feedback from students and their clients was integrated into the educational format.  It quickly became apparent that therapists trained in these new ways were obtaining far superior results to their ‘old fashioned’ counterparts.  As training continued, a natural extension of this ultimately led to the formation of the International Centre for Subconscious-mind Training & Research (I.C.S.T.R.) in 1995.

I.C.S.T.R. was formed as an advanced, career-training organization for students who wanted to further their studies and become Registered P.S.H. Therapists.  The Centre now proudly acknowledges many of its graduates who are consequently practising as Registered P.S.H. therapists throughout Australia and in New Zealand.

One of the Founding Directors of the original I.C.S.T.R., and only remaining original developer of P.S.H. Greg Brice, re-located to Brisbane in 1997 and the training program has consequently been conducted in Queensland since 1998.  The school has traditionally accepted students from all states of Australia and other countries and the Queensland program continues to be conducted in this tradition.

I.C.S.T.R. (QLD) is a completely separate organization and is not affiliated with the original I.C.S.T.R.  The Qld training program and content have been revised, modernised and expanded and are far more effective in both therapist training, and in the application of P.S.H. in the clinical setting.

Our motto is, “The Pursuit of Excellence” and the philosophy of the training program is to encourage, guide and help students attain the highest possible standard of effectiveness and professionalism as P.S.H. therapists.  They are also encouraged and assisted to establish a professional career in P.S.H. therapy.  The course is designed specifically as a ‘vocational training program’.

I.C.S.T.R. (QLD) now offers serious students the opportunity to take an active role in one of the most rapidly growing areas of the helping professions and to establish themselves in a satisfying and rewarding career.
