Is hypnotherapy a recognised profession?
Hypnotherapy is a well-established field with recognised training programmes and professional associations that uphold the highest standards of practice. There is research evidence to show that hypnotherapy helps people achieve positive changes in some areas, even when other approaches have failed. There are national occupational standards for the profession and the Department of Health recognises hypnotherapy as a viable complementary therapy. Hypnotherapy is different from other talking therapies because it uses the state of hypnosis to enable changes to be made to your thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
