Can I call myself a hypnotherapist?
Can I call myself a hypnotherapist?
As the Government tightens its guidelines for therapies
hypnotherapy, among others, has come under scrutiny and now comes under the Complimentary
Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
In the last couple of months, it has been
upgraded from a voluntary registration body and it won’t be long before titles
such as ‘Hypnotherapy Practitioner’ ‘Clinical Hypnotherapist’ and
Hypnotherapist’ become protected terms meaning you could risk prosecution who
you do not hold the appropriate accreditation.
There are a number of organisations out there still offering
‘postal hypnosis training courses’ and some even claiming accreditation for
hypnotherapy qualifications given as part of NLP courses etc. but these
accreditations, if they exist at all, are for organisations that are not even
UK based!
What are the requirements in the UK?
In order to be eligible for accreditation to Hypnosis
Practitioner Status within the UK framework of hypnotherapy qualifications, and
therefore eligible for CNHC registration, it is essential that you undertake a
course of study that provides no less than 120 hours of face-to-face classroom-based
training with a requirement of 450 hours in total.
