Promoting Good Practice, Unity and Continuing Development within the Profession of Hypnotherapy |

Find a Registered Hypnotherapist in:
The largest Professional Organisation for Hypnotherapists in the UK
and the Administrating Agency for
The General Hypnotherapy Standards Council
Representing 170+ separate Professional Bodies & Training Schools
The GHR is currently the largest professional registering organisation for practising hypnotherapists in the UK. Our membership now exceeds 3,000 individual practitioners and continues to grow daily. Apart from the significant credibility that registration bestows, we also provide a wide range of regularly updated further membership benefits. We are additionally the administrators for the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC), which currently represents in excess of 170 separate professional bodies and training schools. The GHSC is responsible for overseeing the criteria for the ongoing registration of individual practitioners within the GHR and for the assessment and validation of hypnotherapy training courses which lead to that registration.
Both the GHR and GHSC are now actively participating within the Working Group for Hypnotherapy Regulation whose constituent members represent some 80% of the profession. The Working Group's primary purpose is to facilitate agreed standards within the profession and subsequently bring about voluntary self-regulation (VSR) - an officially recognised status - for the entire industry. To that end, the Group is currently co-operating with other industry representatives within the Hypnotherapy Regulatory Forum - a body part funded by the Department of Health via the Prince's Foundation for Integrated Health.
The GHR is structured as a commercial sector executive agency, resourced by specialist CAM administrators, and registration is open to any practitioner who is able to satisfy the criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the GHSC.
All GHR registered practitioners are required to accept our published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.
