Organisations to Help the Student Learning Experience
Hypnotherapy Student Training Resources
This is a list of useful links for students studying our classroom based hynotherapy courses or want to learn hypnotherapy online with us.
Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council
The independent UK regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners.
CNHC was set up with government support to protect the public by providing a UK voluntary register of health practitioners. CNHC's register has been approved as an Accredited Register by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care, a body accountable to Parliament.
International Hypnotherapy Register
Hypnosis Association Netherlands is the professional body for Belgium and Dutch professional hypnotherapists. The association offers her members international certification, intervision, buddy support, networking. The certification includes the practitioner and master-practitioner level, and requires an annual peer-review. The association sets the standards for hypnotherapy and hypnosis-coaching.
General Hypnotherapy Register
Are structured as a commercial sector administrative agency, resourced by specialist CAM administrators and therapists, and registration is open to any practitioner who is able to satisfy the criteria with regard to training and who commits to all ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by our overseeing body, the GHSC.
Along with the GHSC, we were a key participant within the Working Group for Hypnotherapy Regulation whose primary purpose was to facilitate agreed standards within the profession and to subsequently bring about Voluntary Self-regulation (VSR), an officially recognised status, for the entire industry. To facilitate this, the Group actively co-operated with other industry representatives within the Hypnotherapy Regulatory Forum (a body established by the now defunct Princes Foundation for Integrated Health) and as a consequence VSR was finally established via the Department of Health funded Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) when it admitted Hypnotherapy into its regulatory system on 1st December 2010. Since that date all GHR registrants holding full Practitioner Level status (or above) have been eligible (subject to our verification of their credentials) for fast track registration within the CNHC (Read more).
Apart from the day to day administrative duties of maintaining the Register of Practitioners, our essential responsibilities are in ensuring that all GHSC dictates in respect of training requirements and practitioner registration criteria are strictly adhered to, and that all complaints brought against our registered therapists under the Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure are properly referred to the GHSC for appropriate action.

Explore and develop the relationship between and Complementary Medicine and conventional medicine e.g. through events involving NICE, the Advertising Standards Authority and the NHS.

Anxiety UK
In 1970, the charity’s founders, Katharine and Harold Fisher established The Phobics’ Society from their home in Chorlton, Manchester, as a direct result of Katharine’s personal experience of agoraphobia and with the sole aim of getting support in place for others in the same situation.
Since then we’ve become a national organisation but we still have the same basic aims. Whether you have anxiety, stress, anxiety-based depression or a phobia that’s affecting your daily life, we’re here to help you; fully supported by an expert team of medical advisors.
ICCHP graduates are encouraged to volunteer as AUK therapists.
National Centre for Domestic Violence
Our mission is to help people identify the early signs of domestic abuse, make decisions for a better life and to make domestic abuse socially unacceptable.
Before the Centre was operational, the Police and victims faced two problems when using local firms of solicitors to obtain non-molestation orders.
Generally, solicitors were only willing to accept clients that were either eligible for public funding or clients who could afford to pay privately, thus leaving all those people ‘not eligible’ with no access to funds, unprotected.
The other main issue was that solicitors were taking between two days and two weeks to get the client into court and obtain the order.
We were convinced that victims of domestic violence and abuse could be daunted by the vast amount of various legal agencies offering to assist. We saw the need for a one-stop-shop where the concerns of those in an abusive situation could be addressed in their language and on their terms. Furthermore this streamlined service, could and should be free and accessible to everybody.
