Chris says, "I first saw hypnotherapy at work many years ago - used by a dentist in Kent.  I have continued to study hypnosis and, since 2000, I have also had experience of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) as well as other therapies like TFT (Thought Field Therapy) and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)"

During the period 2003 to 2007 he studied counselling skills and also qualified as a teacher of post-16 students.  In 2009 Chris had the opportunity to translate his interest in hypnosis and psychotherapy into qualification as a registered hypnotherapist.

He continues, "I studied with the Academy of Advanced Changework in Sheffield, taking their six month course which is accredited by the UK National Hypnotherapy Council and awarded by NCFE.  With a Diploma in Hypnotherapy (DipH) and a Diploma in NLP (DipNLP) alongside my NCFE practitioner certificate (HPD) I registered with the General Hypnotherapy Register."

Chris now satisfies the standards required by GHR for qualifications, skills and knowledge, ethics and professional risks insurance.  He also is committed to continuing his personal development through further study.  His choices of courses and study materials meet the GHR's Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements.

Chris's professional development has included class-based courses with John Dewar and accredited for CPD by GHR plus recognised workshops on analgesia and advanced pain management with Clem Turner.  Chris was awarded a Diploma in Advanced Weight Management by JHD School of Hypnosis, Psychotherapy and Stress Management, recognising his specialisation in personal weight management and control and group sessions for weight control.
