In the UK, hypnotherapists do not have to have any specific training by law. This means hypnotherapy can be offered by people with little training who are not health professionals. When looking for a private hypnotherapist please choose someone with a healthcare background – such as a doctor, psychologist or counsellor and check they're registered with an organisation that's accredited by the Professional Standards Authority
