CURRENT NATIONAL OCCUPATIONAL STANDARDS

The previous National Occupational Standards (NOS) for Hypnotherapy have been revised by representatives of the profession under the auspices of Skills for Health (www.skillsforhealth.org.uk)  

There are four documents in total:

CNH1 – Explore and establish the client’s need for complementary and natural healthcare

CNH2 – Develop and agree plans for complementary and natural healthcare with clients

Principles of Good Practice

CNH23 - Provide Hypnotherapy to clients

Please note that CNH1, CNH2 and Principles of Good Practice are generic to all complementary therapies whereas CNH23 is a new document and specific to Hypnotherapy.

It is important that practitioners familiarise themselves with these documents as they collectively form the basis of all accredited training courses, and all Voluntary Self-regulated (VSR) therapists will be expected to assimilate them into their practice.
