Finding a Therapist
As with any other area of healthcare, you will want to make sure
that the therapist you choose is the right one! There is no law in
the UK to control people wanting to call themselves a hypnotherapist or
psychotherapist, and the training can vary from a short correspondence course
to that which is some of the best, most exacting and most comprehensive.
Consequently - you need to be careful!
For your own peace of mind, use a therapist who is properly trained
and who must adhere to a Code of Ethics. Therapists should also be required by
their professional organisations to undergo constant clinical supervision and
ongoing post qualification training.
If you use a therapist who is a member of the organisations listed
below, you are off to a good start. Membership of these carries with it the
obligations of training and ethics we mentioned above. I am NOT saying
that members of other registers/associations are not competent or safe to use -
I merely emphasise the standing of the organisations listed!!
You can contact these organisations as follows:-
National Register of Hypnotherapists and Psychotherapists
The European Association for Psychotherapy Website
