Things to look for when choosing a therapist

When choosing a Hypnotherapist, it is important to ensure that you feel comfortable with their approach as well as being satisfied they are suitably qualified and insured. The Hypnotherapy profession in the UK is self-regulating at present, so the quality of Hypnotherapists and Hypnotherapy organisations can vary enormously.

So please do be careful and do look around to find someone that's right for you.

A good practitioner will:


  • welcome any questions you might have and answer them fully
  • give a full explanation of all the procedures involved in the treatment and tell you how you might feel afterwards
  • tell you how much treatment will cost and give you a rough estimate of how many treatment session you may need to have
  • have had adequate training, not have trained through a correspondence course, and belong to a recognised organisation, such as the NCH
  • not guarantee recovery and will tell you if he or she cannot help you
  • have full professional indemnity insurance, such as Towergate
  • not over-charge

 
A bad practitioner will:


  • be rude, arrogant or offended when you ask questions
  • promise to cure your condition (responsible practitioners, on the other hand, know that a cure cannot be guaranteed and that no medicine or therapy is 100 per cent effective)
  • promise cures for specific conditions (responsible practitioners will say no more than that the treatment they are administering is sometimes successful in cases such as yours)
  • tell you to stop seeing a doctor and/or to stop taking your medication
  • not listen to you or take a full case history - or conversely take a prying, salacious interest in your personal life
  • not take notes
  • rubbish the work of other therapists and doctors
  • make you feel uneasy or uncomfortable
  • tell you a lot of mumbo-jumbo
  • charge far more (or far less) than other practitioners
