About me
I am the Principal of the European College of Hypnotherapy, have trained many practitioners over some 20 years, and introduced several new techniques into hypnotherapy. Simultaneously, I have practised hypnotherapy during that period, dealing with clients with varied – sometimes quite difficult – conditions. To me, it is spiritually very rewarding to help people overcome issues in their journey through life.
Difficult cases welcomed! Especially those anxieties.
'He's good. He's very good!'
Known as the ‘father of lucid dream research’, I conducted the world's first sleep-laboratory research into 'lucid' dreams (in which the dreamer becomes fully aware of being in a dream) for my doctorate - completed at Liverpool University. In the course of that research I invented the first 'dream machine', on permanent display in the London Science Museum. The date of that discovery (12th April) has now become Lucid Dreaming Day throughout the world. (See www.keithhearne.com for further details).

Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
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.
Accredited register membership
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
