You may wonder how all of those letters after my name impact you as a client, so let me explain.
The first three of the set - BA(Hons), MSc, ACMA - should provide you with reassurance that I can run a viable business. They represent the training and experience I gathered in business and finance prior to retraining as a coach & hypnotherapist. You can rest assured that with this experience and training I am no fly-by-night set-up that will leave you stranded at a time when you need me most.
The next three of the set - DipCAH, HPD and MNCH(Lic) - are the ones that hlep you feel confident that you have chosen a safe, professional and well trained therapist. As such, they are worthy of a more detailed explanation.
DipCAH - I trained with the esteemed David Collingwood-Bell of the Delwyn Hypnotherapy Group and obtained a Diploma in Clinical and Advanced Hypnotherapy from the UK Academy of Therapeutic Arts and Sciences.
HPD - I was awarded the Hypnotherapy Practitioner Diploma by the National Council for Hypnotherapy and the national awarding body NCFE. This is the first externally verified hypnotherapy qualification and its learning outcomes are in line with the National Occupational Standards for Hypnotherapy.
MNCH(Lic) - I am a member of the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) and am committed to abiding by its codes of conduct and ethics. The NCH currently represents over 1000 practitioners and 500 trainees within the UK and is committed to ensuring the highest possible professional standards amongst their members.
In addition to the above, I have also completed:
NCFE Certificate in Personal Life Coaching - with Newcastle College of Flexible Learning.
I am a registered member of the UKCHO, an umbrella body for the hypnotherapy profession in the UK. It's mission is to ensure that standards of conduct, ethics and practice are appropriate for public safety. My registered number is 82667.
