Training, qualifications & experience

Joanne initially became aware of the crippling effects anxiety can have on a person when working as a therapist for a charity in war torn Bosnia. It is through Clinical Hypnotherapy that Joanne came to recognise how the symptoms can be the same regardless of their cause, and how Hypnotherapy can help with all anxiety based symptoms.

Joanne qualified as a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Psychotherapist with the Clifton Practice, a recognised centre for excellence, where she gained her DHP and HPD diplomas, considered the ‘gold standards’ for the field.

Through further ongoing learning and continued professional development (CPD) Joanne is able to stay abreast of the latest techniques and findings within the field. This ensures her clients always receive the most appropriate treatment available.

As well as being fully insured, Joanne is a professional member of The National Council of Hypnotherapy (NCH), and therefore subject to their Code of Ethics.  Joanne is also a member of the following professional bodies:

  • The National Hypnotherapy Society
  • The Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy
  • Association for Solution Focused Hypnotherapists
  • The General Hypnotherapy Register
  • Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council

Adhering to the strict rules and regulations of these bodies Joanne attends professional supervision on a regular basis.

As a Clinical Hypnotherapist Joanne has been able to assist many people in freeing their lives from the crippling constraints of many anxiety based symptoms including depression, self harming, poor self esteem, fear, disturbed sleep, lack of confidence, phobias, and OCD.

Member organisations

APHP
Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (APHP)

Each member of APHP has received thorough training in hypnosis and hypnotherapy, is competent and conscientious, and abides strictly by a code of ethics.

There are four grades of membership: Licentiate (LAPHP), Registered Member (MAPHP), Accredited Member (MAPHP(acc.)) and Fellow (FAPHP), with the different categories standing for different levels of training and experience.

The Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy is a member organisation of UKCHO (an umbrella body for the hypnotherapy profession in the United Kingdom).

CNHC
Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC)

The CNHC encompasses many types of alternative therapy, including hypnotherapy.

In order to be admitted to the register a practitioner must have studied to the National Occupational Standards for that profession/discipline, or have reached the equivalent of the National Occupational Standards through other relevant training or at least three years of experience and been assessed by their peers.

A practitioner must also have professional insurance and agree to abide by the CNHC Code of Conduct, Performance and Ethics.

GHR
The General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR)

Hypnotherapists may become members of the General Hypnotherapy Register if they satisfy certain criteria with regard to both training and ongoing requirements as determined from time to time by the General Hypnotherapy Standards Council (GHSC).

Members are either registered at Practitioner status (which confirms that the GHR acknowledges their qualification to practice), or Affiliate status. Although Affiliate level registrants will have completed a sufficient number of training hours to equip them to commence seeing clients on a limited basis, the GHR does not acknowledge them to have yet been trained to full practitioner level.

All GHR Registered Practitioners are required to accept the published Code of Ethics and Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure.

NCH
National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH)

The National Council for Hypnotherapy holds one of the largest registers of independent Hypnotherapists in the United Kingdom and strives to maintain the highest standards among its members.

There is an agreed Code of Conduct, an established Complaints & Disciplinary Procedure and all members are obliged to maintain comprehensive Public Liability & Professional Indemnity Insurance, maintain regular CPD (continuing professional development) hours, and attend Supervision when needed.

Hypnotherapy Society
National Hypnotherapy Society (Hypnotherapy Society)

The National Hypnotherapy Society is a Learned Society whose primary purpose is the advancement of the knowledge of hypnotherapy and the fostering of professional hypnotherapy expertise through training, accreditation and continued professional development of their members. The Society seeks to contribute to public wellbeing both through the use of hypnotherapy and by ensuring that hypnotherapists are safe, competent and ethical in practice.

Accredited register membership

Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
