Accreditation
It is important to understand that because of the UK’s legal tradition of common law, there are no formal regulations regarding the practise of Clinical Hypnotherapy. However, The UK Academy feels that external validation is a very good way to assess the quality of training provided. Unlike many schools, we do not have an “Associated Professional Register”. By this we mean that UK Academy does not own a professional body which we place our graduates into. Instead, we prefer to have recognition from the leading professional bodies in the UK and the USA:
The National Council for Hypnotherapy: 0800 9520545. The NCH is one of the oldest independent hypnotherapy organisations in the UK. It was originally formed as the Hypnotherapy Register in 1973.The NCH provides practice insurance, a referrals system, an excellent Journal and Corporate Yellow Pages Advertising, which is very useful to the newly graduated hypnotherapist. Additionally, the NCH also provides a comprehensive Code of Ethics and Practice and runs the leading UK hypnotherapy conference every June. In our opinion the National Council for Hypnotherapy is the premier organisation for hypnotherapists in the UK having a membership of approximately 1000.
The National Guild of Hypnotists: 001 603 429 9438. The NGH is the oldest hypnotherapy certifying body in the world (est 1951). The NGH provides its members with some of the most comprehensive literature in the field of professional hypnosis including the Journal of Hypnotism, the Hypno-Gram and Hypnosis Today. Shaun and Fiona are contributing authors to their recent book, The NGH Consumers Guide Of Hypnotism. The National Guild of Hypnotists holds two major international conferences per year, the Solid Gold Conference and the International Hypnotism Convention. The latter attracts the largest group of hypnotists in the world to Massachusetts in the United States, in August of each year. UK Academy is proud to have all of our Instructors certified through the NGH at the basic level with many being both Board Certified as well as Certified Instructors.
The International Guild of Professional Consultants and Coaches: 001 407 678 7829. The International Guild of Professional Consultants and Coaches is dedicated to furthering professionalism among consultants through programs and support services that enhance both the quality of services provided to their clients and the profitability of their consulting practices. The International Guild of Professional Consultants and Coaches addresses the needs of its members through professional certification, development seminars and workshops, a comprehensive website presence, the distribution of printed materials as well as individual coaching.
