Chris says, "I first saw hypnotherapy at work many years ago - used by a dentist in Kent.  I have continued to study hypnosis since then and, since 2000, I have also had experience of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and other alternative therapies like 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.
