A sister school to The Essex Institute of Clinical Hypnosis in the UK, EICH (Australia) in Melbourne offers the EICH International Diploma of Clinical Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy via its Professional Practitioner Course which will prepare you to become an effective professional clinical hypnotherapist. Virtually all training courses in clinical hypnotherapy are in the private sector and the practice of clinical hypnotherapy is currently “self-regulated”. This self-regulation is carried out by professional organisations which maintain registers of suitably qualified therapists that have been accepted for membership and ensure that their members meet the criteria they have set for safe and ethical professional practice. The training courses approved by these professional organisations are obliged to meet strict requirements regarding the course content, the minimum training hours, supervision during and after training and opportunities for students to experience and practise the type(s) of therapy taught on the course.
EICH (Australia) is accredited by “The Association for Professional Hypnosis and Psychotherapy”. This reputable association with world-wide membership is dedicated to maintaining a high standard of professionalism amongst its members, all of whom are bound by a strict code of ethics, are fully covered by professional indemnity insurance and are committed to ongoing training and supervision. It is only possible to join the APHP via invitation or training by an approved hypnotherapy school.
EICH (Australia) is a member organisation of the Council of Clinical Hypnotherapists (CCH) and students and graduates of the Professional Practitioner Course are eligible to apply for the appropriate level of individual membership of the CCH without having to take additional examinations or necessarily having to attend an interview.
Successful completion of the EICH (Australia) Professional Practitioner Course leads to a Diploma qualification with the opportunity to join these leading professional organisations.
