Finding a clinician

The regulation regarding hypnosis and psychotherapy differs by country and it can be difficult to find a reputable therapist.

In Britain anybody can be regarded as a psychotherapist, and there are many 'hypnotherapists'. We strongly believe that hypnosis is not a therapy in its own right, and should only be used alongside standard psychological treatment by a suitably qualified professional. Patients seeking psychological treatment with hypnosis in the UK should contact the British Society for Experimental and Clinical Hypnosis and click the 'Finding a Therapist' link.

Patients in the United States seeking psychological treatment with hypnosis should contact the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis.
