    The NCHP Route to a Career in Hypno-Psychotherapy

 

UKCP Registration

DHP(NC) holders who are members of the NRHP may, after undertaking various requirements (including a period of supervised practice; submission of case studies; supplementary training elements and self therapy), apply for registration as Hypno-Psychotherapists with the UKCP’s National Register of Psychotherapists.

Continuing Professional Development

The NCHP provides an ongoing programme of one/two day workshops and seminars by leading practitioners and distance learning packages to enable therapists to keep up to date with professional developments.  A commitment to CPD, including ongoing supervision/peer supervision and keeping a CPD portfolio, is a requirement of membership of the NRHP, and helps therapists maintain their ability to practise safely.

Higher Degrees in British Universities

You may be interested to use your NCHP Diploma towards an Open University, or other, higher degree.  NCHP graduates have been accepted onto courses with various such organisations.

Access to Further Professional Recognition/Training

 The NCHP is an approved training organisation for those wishing to undertake further specialist training in the fields of, for instance, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Immune related illness.

 NCHP diploma holders who have undertaken the requisite period of supervised practice may apply to join the Hypnotherapy division of the British Register of Complementary Practitioners – BRCP (H) which is administered by the institute for Complementary Medicine.
