What is accreditation?
Why is it important?
Hypnotherapy is not yet a fully regulated profession. What that means is that virtually anyone can set up and claim to be a hypnotherapist. So how do you tell whether your practitioner only has a bit of stage experience, has done the odd weekend course, - or is a fully qualified, properly trained and insured health-care professional?
You have to look at their qualifications, and find out with which professional associations they are registered.

You have to look at their qualifications, and find out with which professional associations they are registered.
The four main UK professional associations are: National Council for Hypnotherapy, National Council of Psychotherapists, The Hypnotherapy Society and The Association for Professional Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. They all have strict entry requirements, ethical standards, and their members must have full professional liability insurance. You can research them on the internet. Russell Binns maintains membership of all these professional associations.
Russell Binns also holds a diploma in clinical hypnotherapy (DHP) awarded following an extensive training course at a large working clinic, and the Hypnotherapy Practitioners' Diploma (HPD) a modern, externally assessed degree-standard vocational qualification now considered the benchmark for clinical hypnotherapists.
Russell Binns is also a member of the NHS Directory of Complemetary & Alternative Practitioners which has strict entry requirements. The practice is also an NHS Provider which means that your GP or PCT can refer you.
Russell also holds a university degree and is a qualified teacher.
