The principal function of the Register is to support and encourage best practice and research-based standards in hypnosis and psychotherapy. We publish a directory of accredited hypno-psychotherapists who adhere to the philosophy and values of evidence-based practice. The Register also provides a simple route for students and current practitioners to achieve professional accreditation in evidence-based hypnotherapy and psychotherapy.
 

What is Evidence-Based Hypno-Psychotherapy?

Until recently, the strength of research evidence supporting the field of hypnosis has been obscured by pseudoscientific therapies and "pop psychology" approaches which foster serious misconceptions about the true nature of hypnotism and its therapeutic applications. All members of the Register are required to pledge adherence to the practice of hypno-psychotherapy based on evidence from clinical trials and experimental studies, and integrated with theories and concepts consistent with mainstream psychology and health science.

New Diploma in Evidence-Based Hypno-Psychotherapy

The Register have designed and will be administering a new professional diploma award in evidence-based hypnotherapy.  This qualification is partially mapped against the official National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Hypnotherapy, published by Skills for Health, the Sector Skills Council for the health sector. As part of this process, the UK College has now
 
 
been approved as a training centre officially registered with NCFE, a leading Government-recognised awarding body.

(Sacket et al ., 2000). The best hypno-therapists and psychotherapists are those who carefully combine their own clinical skill and experience with the best available research evidence relevant to their field, in a manner tailored to their clients' individual needs.
